Karen, I think I must have gotten from here. When I went back and looked at it on iPhoto, I saw it said "Jodi's pic". I had forgotten where it came from. I hope it's ok to add it here. Sorry for not crediting you. This post was edited by murraysmom on Thu, Mar 20, 14 at 19:45

One's trash ... is someone else's treasure. Squirrels don't bother me much, but they can be a nuisance. But coons - they can be real pains in the patoot, at times ... e.g. when they pull down over a hundred ears of sweet corn ... and take about one bite out of each. That I'd figured to take to a couple of churches, social agencies, etc. Almost did, putting on a sign, "Using a sharp knife, cut out the chewed part and a bit extra: the rest, wrapped by the husk, is O.K. - even if you're playing second fiddle to a coon!". ole joyful

I visited a nursery yesterday, and brought home some really gaudy plants. Not my typical choices, but that is the only Hamelia I have been able to find for hummingbird fodder. The variegated Potato Bush has a difficult garden problem to solve--and the non-variegated just does not fly my plane, so to speak. I'm not going to be planting these together.

My brother was born on St. Patrick's Day and owes his middle name to the day. One year he exclaimed: "No more green cake. I'm sick to death of always having green cake." I have found hundreds (maybe thousands) of four-leaf clovers in my life, at least a hundred 5-leaf clovers, and three 6-leaf clovers. a five-leaf clover For the variety shown in ravencajun's picture, that I've always refered to as a "shamrock" I've only every found two 4-leafed ones.
