Comments (16)I was looking for more information on this, but all the stuff they were talking about was giving me a headache and my boss told me to get back to work anyway. Some of the sites I checked were talking about dissolved iron oxidizing and forming the sediment that settles. Are your water stains brown? Something was said about calcium reaction too, but it all got too complex for my simple mind. A couple of links that might be interesting if you can understand them. I'm not saying it couldn't just be a build up of fish poop, but we fill our pond from a well and the same thing happens even after the animals have eaten all my fish=(...See MorePlease. lets' see JUST your Jade plant pictures and collections.
Comments (90)Excellent! Glad to hear that Crassula arborescens is a more thirsty variety. I am slowly planning landscaping part of my yard with succulents. Before I relandscape, I am in the process of trying out individual specimens to see what fares best in my climate. Sounds like Crassula arborescens might be a good landscape candidate. jonaskragebaer - I have to say, I know very little about Denmark. During your wet summers, how hot is it there? My (admittedly limited) trials with succulents show that it isn't the wet alone, but the wet+heat that does them in. Seems like succulents most hate the combination of high humidity combined with nighttime temps not dropping below 80 degrees F....See MoreHosta inspired...(many pics).. let's hear/see yours
Comments (11)Thanks, everyone, for the compliments. With all this rain we've had again, don't know when my grass around the edges will take. I've planted twice now, and both times, as the grass is coming along nicely, we get a heavy bit of rain to wash some of it away. It hadn't rained all summer here until I tried to plant some grass. Oh well, the hosta and all the other plants are smiling. And, i dig it, Willow is just fine now. She had to spend a night in the emergency hospital this week secondary to a high fever and dehydration. After some IV fluid and antibiotic,(and $429 later) she is her usual kitten self again. As far as her breed, I don't think she is a particular breed but she is part Siamese. Here papers say Rag Doll, but I think that is just the coloring. She's funny and keeps us laughing....See MoreWhy to so many people let pets ruin their financial picture?
Comments (71)It looks like I'm going to be the first one to own up to letting my pets ruin my financial future. I don't know why other people do it, but I do it because I love & adore my pets & I don't love money. I also choose to have monthly donations to "doctors without borders" & "greenpeace" deducted from my bank account, because I also love other people of all nationalities, & the planet, & I don't love money. I have a very reasonable annual income, but I drive a second hand car, wear mostly second hand or chain store clothing, & have mostly second hand furniture. I don't have organized holidays away from home, don't drink, gamble, smoke or go out to entertainment activites. Why? Because I love the things I can do with my money if I don't waste it on meaningless crap. My three teenagers DO love meaningless crap in the forms of surf label clothing, going out, i-pods, laptops, & mind blowing expensive sneakers. (o.k., I do use the macintosh laptop a fair bit) And I fund all this silliness because I love & adore my kids & it seems to give them a lot of meaningful pleasure. No, I'm not some dried up old lesbian or an old maid who wouldn't know how to have a good time if I won ten billion dollars. In my 20's I earned & spent a lot of money & lived the "champagne & caviar" materialistic lifestyle. Yes, it can be fun. But for me, it was hollow. I'm happily married to a man who also values the simple things in life. Canoeing on a remote river at sunset, throwing a stick on a lonely beach for our nine dogs, riding through the bush at sunrise, these are the things that make my life worthwhile. Things that don't cost money, because the more you consume, the less you live. Our nine dogs provide more than friendship & company for me. They are my THERAPY every single day. They're my mates, & I willingly undertake the challenge to love them as much as they love me. It's a big challenge, because they would die for me without a second thought. Am I serious? Yes. Am I mad? Probably. But you only get as much love as you give in this world, & I make a point of loving everything that I can. The dogs are by far the easiest & the reciprocity is a joy....See More- 12 years ago
Common Redpoll, but not so common in my backyard. Lucky to get a shot of this one last summer.

I'm gonna assume this was a hawk, plenty of them around here, but it was just too far to be sure. I just love the shot anyway, such a blue sky and he was like : "I OWN THIS PLACE!"

I posted this one on another thread, but it's worthy of a second look. This female cardinal is so puffed up against the cold, looks like she swallowed a grapefruit. Love this pic! Photo taken a couple of weeks ago.

Hi I have seen the rose grosbeak a couple of time here in Quebec but both times it has been rainy. So now I watch for him when it is raining out. I do have a pair of cardinals at my feeder this winter but not today it is very windy so I have not seen any birds at all and we have blue sky. tomorrow I will be full up my feeder with the nasty wind the seeds will blow away. Here is a picture of a hawk I also feed him pigeons in the summer he comes down grabs one and off he goes But I need more of them around cause I have about 25 pigeons in my backyard most of the summer
Thanks for posting your pictures love them

Eastern North Carolina after several inches of snow. It's a busy place! Chickadees, Brown headed and White Breasted Nuthatches, American Goldfinches, Chipping Sparrows, Pine Warblers, Carolina Wrens, Juncos and even a Bluebird stopped by for some suet.

I love the big bird feeder I guess no squirrel can get at the food. Have not seen them here in Quebec I guess the pigeons also cannot get at the food I bought a new bird feeder last year and it work pretty good for the pigeons and grackles only problem not more than 3 small birds can eat at one time

New bird in my area, a Fox Sparrow. They do indeed dig with both feet at the same time, just like my book says!

Don, seriously, don't be humble - or rather, your wife should be proud of that owl pic! Rare to get a chance to take a pic of one so close to your deck, lucky her!
Here's the latest from yesterday in non-stop snow: a little house sparrow all fluffed up.

This forum has been a wonderful source of info and the photos have made it much easier to make a hobby of birding. Threads like these have added a new dimension to the time my wife and I spend outdoors as no birds go without notice. Thanks for sharing.

12 years agoIn Central Illinois- usually only see a few towhees the whole summer and have never seen them in the winter. There must have been a small flock of them that spent their days under the feeders in the yard this past weekend. Really enjoying all the photos.
