it's happened again!!!

20 years ago

Hi, I think most of you have seen the photo of the fountain in our pond in the backyard, the fountain turned into a heartshape 2 days after my daughters funeral, my daughter loved hearts, she would sign cards and letters with a heart.

Anyway this last tuesday afternoon the 29th of august my husband turned of the fountain to feed the fish, he does this all the time, but this time it was different, the weeds turned into a heartshape, this time the fountain was off, he called me to come outside, and I was in awe of what I saw, I raced inside to get my camera and took this picture, I think she is trying to tell us she's ok, because we just struggle so much with her passing, at times I want to be with her so much.

My husband comforts me and we see a griefcounselor, but I cannot seem to get out of that intense grief, I am still thinking she is coming home, I know I'm thinking unrealistic but I can't seem to get my way out of that, I think I may have to go back on antidepressants again, I have been on them for 11 years, and stopped finally last december, I felt fine without them, and then my daughter died, now I feel I cannot cope again, I know I am person who gets depressed, I know I need help, I was hoping I would never have to be on them again, but maybe I don't have to be on them for so long this time.

Anyway here is the photo from tuesday,

Martha

WOW that is truly amazing. I saw your last photo also. SOrry to hear about the anti-depressants. My dad passed in Nov. 2005 suddenly and now my mom is turning into a zombie. The doc gave her pills too. She said they make her feel sluggish. I think your daughter is still sending love to you the only way she knows you will believe its from her. I hear songs now and then my dad use to like and I know thats him telling us hes ok. I dont know what goes on in the afterlife, but I do believe they are surrounded by complete love and happiness. God will walk ahead of you and then hold your hand to help you through the hard times. I am sure your daughter would not want you to be unhappy, thats why you keep seeing hearts. She probably wants you to still remember all the good memories and leave go of all the pain. I hope that helps you sheebah. I'll send prayers your way. Someone told me once that people are born to have a purpose and that sometimes they only need a few years to accomplish that purpose, and for some of us it takes alot longer to do. I know we will all be together again someday.

I was working on a project in Rhode Island a couple years back and feeling pretty distant from these Montana mountains...., and throughly enjoying my walk through a coastal new england beech forest just beginning to turn,when I heard the unmistakable crackling of aspen in a breeze and amongst the beech a stand of bright yellow aspen within 5 miles of the atlantic.....made my day I think you are right Dan that it is often lovingly planted in marginal habitats...and therefore the importance of sourcing becomes more important for estab/ longevity of stand... Lawyers grows from seed...might be worth a check for you (wholesale too) Having said the positives ....I do however think its suitableness for large scale urban plantings(public or private) both within its prefered range and beyond has room for discussion....while certain aspen colonies have been proposed as both among the oldest and largest living things on the planet... in a domestic environment they often simply are another poplar with all that is associated with that genus ( although i do have a real weakness for the silver poplar...talk about a tree most homeowners should stay well away from).... and can be far from trouble free to establish....have any of you folks tried Populus tremula...

Could be many reasons, and many/most would not be your fault. There could be more tree roots that weren't removed the first time, a partially collapsed sewer pipe in another location, etc. Tell her that just because it's happening now doesn't mean it's your fault. Point out to her that the first problem with the tree roots wasn't something you caused, and the "soft clog" could have been building up over time and you were just unlucky enough for it to happen on your watch. She's unhappy that her property needs maintenance, and she'd like you to pay for it. The next time a plumbing company has to do something, have a discussion with the plumber and her at the same time so there is no misunderstanding about possible causes.

This is typically what I post for neem application directions: Neem Oil Insecticide 1 pint very hot water 1 pint rubbing alcohol or ethanol 1 tsp pure, cold-pressed neem oil 1/2 tsp Castile Peppermint Soap, Murphy’s Oil Soap, or insecticidal soap In a 1 qt spritzer, mix the neem with the soap & hot water. Shake vigorously. Add the alcohol & shake again. Shake regularly/vigorously to keep the mixture emulsified as you spritz the plant, making sure as you spritz you’re covering all the vegetative surfaces, especially the underside of leaves and leaf/branch crotches. Use all the mix same day or discard. Use only pure, cold-pressed neem oil, such as that packaged by Dyna-Gro. Methods of oil extraction other than cold pressing limit the effectiveness of the active ingredient in neem oil – azadiractin. Al

If you google miraculous images of either candidate you will see some funny stuff. This was recently painted on the side of a business all the way over in Australia. The council deemed it offensive and asked that it be removed. Instead of taking it down the same artist ( Lushsux) covered the original with a burqa. So, strong political views aren't just here in the U.S.
