Hi Kelly, There are at least 5 different types of Blizzard genes and they don't always show up right away,or in every generation...so(!) what you have there looks like the most common blue that comes out of the Early Call mix,but it may show the Blizzard effect as the plant matures...let's see what happens with this one... TTY,... Ron

We're using a slab of back-painted glass for our backsplash too. Look for a glass shop that does mirrors, shower doors, etc. They usually do a variety of things and will have samples of all types of glass. They can back-paint the glass literally any color. They use an automotive paint called Chroma Base. You can bring a sample of your paint, tile, countertop, your favorite sweater, what ever you want, & they'll be able to match the color. They have a color chart but are happy to do custom matching. Also you can request Star Fire glass which has a low iron content & makes the glass very clear. The colors are more accurate because you don't get the green tint of regular glass. Or if you like the greenish tint go with regular glass which is a lot less expensive. We're doing a bright white so we're going with StarFire glass. The same shop is doing our backsplashes, shower doors, stair railings, & mirrors. Good luck with your project!

My motto is "Always leave a p**ing male alone", including DH. And secondly, I am jealous that they can and I can't. I was once in Israel's great southern desert, the Negev, traveling by car with a girlfriend, and we had to go. So we stopped the car and hiked behind a tiny hill with a tiny bush on it. An oncoming truck squealed to a stop and the driver got out, carrying a rifle. He screamed at us "You crazy women, don't you know that there are Bedouin men around here? Next time, hold it in!" Then he stood there with his rifle until we finished, adjusted ourselves, and slinked back to our car embarrassed as heck.

Apparently some people buy rat snakes because they will eat copperheads and they are harmless to people and pets. I guess copperheads have a good purpose which is to keep squirrels, mice and some insects away but I don't want them in my yard. The only way to get rid of them when you see them is to take a heavy shovel and chop it in half. Yuck!! I know some people get upset about killing any creature but I have to keep my family safe. Our yard backs to Army Corp of Engineers land which is all woods. We have all kinds of creatures. Some of the coolest things have been fox, Hawks, owls and lots of deer. We hear coyotes howl when they have a kill but haven't seen any (thank goodness) Here is one cool picture taken on an early Sunday morning:
