Not too many names yet...they were really waiting to find out boy or girl to start the search. I think there are 3 that have kinda been 'okayed' by both....Kason Michael, Jackson (Jack) Edward, and Hayden Michael. But it is way early...so I am SURE it will change. Sept 7 is the due date...but all this time I have thought it was Sept 4, so that is what I am going by! LOL Not sure if I will be sewing the nursery or not. Kalie is looking to see what she likes, and we will go from there. But you can BET that I will be doing ALOT of additional sewing once she gets it figured out. =) Linda...you KNOW that "C" word (Iowa State Cyclones) is a bad word in their house! We hit some 2nd hand stores yesterday and I found 2 little IA Hawkeye (Iowa & IA St are BIG rivals!) outfits! I told Kalie I was going to pick up a Cy outfit just for fun...but didn't.

Hi guys, Sorry for the delay in responding. We have been on the road making other appliance choices. I was thrilled to see so many helpful responses when I got home. Thank you all for your contributions! Here are a few general answers/reflections: 1)Good point about this fridge not being built in so it can be replaced if desired. 2)We have yet to see the fridge in person (we have to drive a hour away so it is a long distance love affair at this point). I will see how the plates match at that time and see how true to cobalt it is. 3)We had thought about painting the island blue, but I think I would prefer a less bright navy colour. We had also thought about a dark walnut colour as suggested above, but not sure how that would look with a blue fridge. I don't think I could go do either perimeter cabinets, nor island in a royal blue. 4)We will be limited in our ability to match other appliances. The only other appliance we could get in the blue would be the DW. They make a range, but we are doing an induction cooktop and separate oven. So if we did the blue fridge it would have to look good with all stainless appliances. 5)We don't want the fridge to be the major focal point of the kitchen, as we thought the glass cabinet would be. The decorative glass we are going for on the glass cabinet is a repeat of the decorative glass we have on the front door (Lexington glass from Trimlite). 6)I agree that others have asked about alternatives to stainless steel fridges on this forum and there are some great options besides the blue. I am having trouble finding any ratings on this fridge, so the fridge itself needs to function well as a fridge, not just look pretty. 7)You are right that I need to consider balance, and one bold coloured appliance may not work alone 8)We definitely want a stained island colour as mentioned to limit dirt as we have a family. I will get my light painted cabinet fix with the perimeter cabinets. 9)The plates could go in my dining room if they look bad with the fridge. I have another collection of Hummel plates that could go on the kitchen plate shelf (the Hummels are creams, brown colours). 10)Thanks to all who posted on how to tie in the blue colourwise. This is an area that I need help with for sure. You have given me lots to think about. What shade of cream would look okay with the blue? Thank you all again for your time and thoughts. Sorry to not be able to respond to each and every one of you individually. Carol P.S. I am going to try to use the helpful suggestions of how to add an image of the Heartland fridge by editing my initial post (thanks for these tech tips).

Does Gro Green apply a high N, low everything else, fertilizer once a month? Are you watering deeply once a week? Are you getting a minimum of 6 hours per day of direct sun? As BDCowboy said, frequent mowing is needed...to help train the grass to grow horizontally instead of vertically. When it gets up high you end up mowing off all the blades. When it is growing horizontally, you'll have multiple blades growing off of the horizontal stems.
