thank you for your input! It's nice to know I'm still "alive." Last year I wrote a note on this forum called "stopped dating." I really thought I had lost interest, then I met someone but that went to hell in a handbasket very quickly ...the "I dont get it, what happened" entry on this forum I wrote about 6 months ago. It's interesting, looking back now, at the personal growth progress I've made since that first entry. That is not to say that starting to date again is necessarily a "great personal growth" but rather all that happened inbetween then and now. I am not a fan of hidden agendas either. life is interesting, and is even more interesting when one realizes it really has a purpose rather than to simply endure the mundane daily routines.

Ernie I am bad to the bone but do not tell any one. Wackyweeder I wish you were here working your weeding magic on my weeds. OH My. Ernie you have me pegged for loving purple. Turquoise too. Yes I am doing The mannequin Thelma and have a couple more in my attic/loft to do. And two more I already did. I am going to have a houseful of Mannequins. I had to have cataract surgery last summer so had to put Thelma aside while waiting for my eyes to settle down after surgery. In the mean time I worked on other projects that were not so visually demanding. And there Thelma sits waiting in my dinning room. With no table. LOL. I really need to finish some thing before going onto the next thing and I am winding things up now. I want to finish my hallway wall and making a gazillion grape leaves and also need to cut probably the same number of grape vine pieces. This is so boring. I am mounting the green leaf glass onto mirror bits. Nothing artistic about it just boring. I also need to compete the arbor sections to install on the wall then build my grape vine. Then get some sort of lighting and I hope to no longer have a long dark hallway. Then I will move back to Thelma. I need to lay her all the way across my worktable and cutting table and need to clear room to do this. I am sure when you are ready you will start on your mannequin. they are fo fun to do and develop such a personality. In the mean time hubby has cancer so I do not want to get too tied up in a project while needing to tend to him. There is just so much do to all the time. Holding down the fort. The out come will be grim. :'( Soldering on............. I am glad I have my art and animals to turn to.

Thank you. I have been neglecting my gardens so much this spring lol. I am keeping all my roses but have been moving and removing alot of the livestock "toxic" type plants and replacing with non toxic and food/fruiting plants. So basically everything is a disaster haha. We also are expanding our veggie garden quite a bit so I can fit in a few more 4x8 raised beds. I have roses, bananas and other crazy plants stuffed in my veggie garden too now. We are also making new goat and pig pastures. Its been so hot & muggy that it has been slow going. I hope fall comes early!! Which rose society do you belong to? I keep thinking I need to join a rose society. I am almost out by Callahan. A tour might be fun if/when I ever get my stuff together, lol. I dont really have a fancy garden or anythibg just hodge-podge flowerbeds and pot ghettos with a bunch of farm animals mixed in Haha. I wish you were my neighbor! It would be a huge improvement over the ones I have now lol. We live in an area with lots of crowing roosters and people with llamas, horses, etc not everybody likes to be woke up at 5 or 6 am to rooster serenades. :) but I like it. We got these 2 little Nigerian Dwarf girls recently. They are so little, smaller than the bottle baby Lamancha doeling I have even though they are a few weeks older than her.

I just found this forum...don't leave! I think the Adenium is getting more and more gardening "press", and there are a number of newbies that could use support. (like me) I discovered Adeniums a few years ago, and unfortunately lost several to lower temps in Texas nights (Winter...below 50 degrees is not loved by Adeniums). I now bring them inside on evenings that drop below 50 degrees, and they are doing better. They still get yellow leaves that drop off (dormancy? less light?) over winter, but they come back like champions in the Spring. I could use some advice about soil, as the "Desert Rose" soils I find online are expensive. I have been using Cactus soil with success. I am trying to get the caudex to grow larger, and would like more flowers. Advice? I am getting 2 new one year olds in April, and hope to start them out right with some advice from other's experience and wisdom.

I'm still here. Days are long and the weather has been so nice. Out in the orchard until 8:30-9:00pm. Busy, busy, busy. Four new gosling yesterday. I will post pics.

Nice pic of the squirrel. I'm glad we don't have those little buggers on the Island. Can't keep them out of the fruit and nut trees.

Very good picture. Squirrels are so funny. I planted ornamental cabbage one year and at night I put flower pots over them so the rabbits wouldn't eat them. Every morning the pots would be tipped over. After putting the pots on one night I sat down by the garden and a squirrel that lives in the tree next door run through. Got to the pot stopped took his front paw and tipped it over then proceeded on it's way. I could hardly believe what I was seeing. I still laugh when I think about it.

It's been absloutly crazy around here...1st I had my Grandson for two weeks, my son had an auto accident...was taking and picking him up for work,DH having car trouble so have been taking him to work and picking up, not only that, his boss is being a real PITA...I come in and check on everyone here to see whats up but don't have much time to post, kids have been sick...to the school I go...It's not simultaneous but one thing after another...Plus been stuck inside with all the rain we've been having for about a week now...It's driving me nuts cos I have yet lots of seed to sow for flower gardens...The perennials are filling out and the tulips are gone...Its May 20th and time feels like it's running out...AAAAGGGHHH! Okay, I'm breathing again, LOL...Now that is out of my system....

Hey Gmom, I love squirrels and that is a very nice silhouette shot! Although we live in the country and have woods at the edge of yard, we just don't see them around here at home anyway...We have lots of bird feeders where we do get to watch all kinds of birds come in to feed...We have a bluebird pair nesting in one of the boxes we put up...I think they're the same pair from last year...My camera doesn't take good pics at the bird feeders very well...Hoping to post some pics soon...And will be checking in on ya all!
