Beautiful trees you have there...Best of luck with them! I planted a Nagami Kumquat and a Meyers Lemon just last Spring, they've been in pots for 4-5 years prior to that. I decided to plant them in the ground to replace a couple of lychee trees and Mango from our brutal winter. I watered them every other day for the first week (this will depend on how hot your weather is right now)...then slowly tapered off to twice a week in a couple of weeks...then once a week. I also use Vigoro Citrus and Avocado timed-release from HD...once every two to three months at lower amounts. I prefer to feed a little more often (but half the amount). Dwarf Meyer Lemon Nagami Kumquat I prune them once or twice a year to maintain a Dwarf size...short but wide frame. I don't like my fruit trees to get tall and lanky, its harder to maintain them when they get too tall, plus its much easier to pick the fruits too.

Those eyes look as though they could cast a spell! She's gorgeous. Happy Birthday, Precious! My DB and DSIL have a solid white long-haired cat with blue eyes. Her name is also Precious. When my DGD was little she walked right up to the cat and then whispered to me, "Is she real!?" LOL She was so pretty that I guess she didn't know if she was stuffed, or not. Your Precious is the same way. "God must really love cats because he makes so many of them." (That's one of my favorite sayings. Then I always think, "Well spay and neuter, then, please!" LOL)

Congratulations to you too! It looks like we're both moving along! Now let's race...whose cabinets will be in first?? ;-) We're not planning to actually start demo until March, though. We're going with EXPO Design Center and they're already booked up through February. They give their Christmas install customers the option to wait until January...so those of us who come after have to wait. But, that's OK with me since I don't relish doing all this work in the winter since we plan on using the outdoor grill for a lot of our cooking while we're kitchenless! The weather should start warming up by mid to late March and we'll go through spring (~4 months). Good luck!

OMG! You are cleaning "deep". I'm so glad I didn't start scraping my popcorn ceiling in the bathroom this week. I've got to many projects started and company coming Friday. Gayle
