And had to ask myself, is it morning or nite?

Then I looked at the clock and realized it's still today.

Now that's what I call a GOOD NAP!

I love my afternoon naps, but this one was TRULY like I had slept all nite. Hard and sound!

Who loves their afternoon naps?

Me me me me me!

Position in the ground with respect to sun exposure will always have an effect on when a clematis emerges from the ground. Shady spots stay cooler longer so clematis planted there will usually emerge later than normal. Even taking into account the same planting location, some clematis some years will just emerge later than they usually do. I had several this year that were much later in emerging than in the past. It never seems how much we say it, patience is the key.

Another late bloomer. This is my Sal Corleone. It was in a 15gl pot and roughly 5' or 6' tall with multi branches. Dead! So I thought. I cut it down a week or so ago and was moist. I knew this was going to be a good ending (or beginning). I just checked on it today and it is breaking a bud to the side. I cut the rootball down to fit in a 2gl pot. Still waiting for that one rare fig I have to break. Please enjoy the pictures, Never say never.

Hi Kaotickelly. Who says that's not me, but my son? Yeah, it's my 6' son, so you can get some idea how tall the palm is from the pic. Thanks Alex. Yeah, this past winter is far different than the -45 and -39 temperatures we had about 15 years ago. Last year it got down to -20, which is pretty normal. Denninmi, no hero here... just a guy with some crazy ideas! Islandbreeze, once the Trachys get established, they will really take off. I actually wish it would grow SLOWER! Chadec, I thought the Trachy was a fast grower, but the Washy grows twice as fast. I'm kind of scared of it. Yikes!

VFT never 'woke up'
Q

Signs of life? Need pics as stated previously, but a dormant VFT is not actually brown and dead. It still has low-lying green leaves and smaller traps. If your plant still looks like that, then it's still alive. But if it's some kind of brown, dry-looking plant mass, then it could be dead. From extensive reading, I found that some VFTs are still dormant even through May, depending on their area they were growing in.

I sleep best in the afternoons, too. We've had rain for six straight days here in Norfolk and today the sun came out!! I

went to a nearby town and parked in the city park and sat in the car and admired all the beauty and soaked in the sun.

I woke up an hour later, feeling very refreshed!

I do love my afternoon naps.

I wish I could take one, but I have so much trouble going to sleep at night I'd never be able to indulge in a nap or I'd never go to sleep.

I'm with you, Miss Glenda. I love an afternoon nap! I don't always get one...but I sure treasure that time when it happens. I get up by 5:00 every day, so I figure I deserve the rest! :-)

I like to nap, but don't get to very often. I feel great if I just sleep 20 minutes, but any longer and I'm groggy the rest of the day.

When I taught school, I would come in, stretch across the bed, never napped, and got up when I was completely relaxed.

Now I do really nap, but not like I did today.

Maybe it is due to my new pillow :o)

I like naps. I often nap after supper, which works out well because I like to stay up late. I usually nap for 20 minutes, and no more than 30. I feel very refreshed afterwards.

I wish I slept as soundly at night as I do when I nap.

I like to nap on a cold or rainy day. If I don't set my alarm , I end up sleeping 2 hours or more.

I often stay up late at night, don't get up till near noon, so am good to go throughout the afternoon.

However, when a youth on the farm, sometimes when cultivating a field a half mile or a mile long ...

... about 2 or so in the afternoon, on a warm, sunny day, the cultivating marks would tend to start weaving back and forth: on the right track sometimes ... and nearly on it sometimes. Time to lie on the soft ground by the rear wheel of the tractor for a 10 - 20 min. nap ...

... then be in great shape for the rest of the afternoon.

For a Frugal Fella like me, the current habit of using the light through the night ...

... and sleeping through half of the day, filled with precious sunlight, seems rather an unfrugal habit.

Sue used to say that I could sleep any time ... and any place.

I note that I can swig a mug o' coffee half an hour before going to bed ... and drop off to sleep with no problem.

I am happy and oh, so fortunate to have a very accomodating body, it seems.

The only day I can take naps anymore is Sunday afternoon.
:(
I used to go to work at 6 am. Sometimes if my only DD then, would take a nap I'd lay down too. Woke up once to a dark house! OMG talk about confusing, I looked at the clock and it said 5:30, but I didn't know if it was AM or PM! LOL
Betcha that was the LAST good nap I had!

I love an afternoon nap occasionally.

In 1970 or 71 I worked midnight shift. I had a lot of trouble sleeping and some days just took a few naps as I could. One winter afternoon I woke up at 4 o'clock. It was already dark due to time change and I thought it was 4 o'clock in the morning. I jumped up so fast and called into work to apologize for being late. I explained to the switchboard operator that I over slept. She laughed at me first, then she told me it was 4 in the afternoon. Whew!!!

I don't nap often anymore but back when the kids were in High School a call from DD around 5 PM asking me to pick her up woke me from a very sound nap.

I was furious. "What are you doing out at this hour?" Poor kid. We laughed about it later, and still do once in a while.
