April hugs to you Grandma! LOL Couldnt do it withour you. I hope you had a great thanksgiving with your family. It sure feels good to home..... MJ Thank you for the nice comments. I had such a hard time rooting this one. All the other ones so far are doing great. I just love the wretched mess plant. April was kind enough to trade with me and I will never forget it either. Well it is christmas season witch means gun season. Here is my flower he is in the middle. I am having way too much fun with the camera. His best friend is on the right they grew up together. I still cant get over that. I cant imagine knowing someone your whole life. It amazes me. And yes they are like brothers. You would think they had the same parents. I hope they get their deer. Wi in hunting season.....Barb

I am so happy to see roses again! (pics)

Wow, those are just stunning. I especially like the color on Alexandra, Marie Curie...well, actually all of them! Makes me want to run out and buy some. Do you have a separate rose garden or are they mixed in with other perennials? If you have a group shot I would love to see it. I have stayed away from roses until last year when I broke down and bought Paul's Himalayan Musk because it was on sale and I wanted a good-smelling climber for the deck post. This year I just bought a yellow carpet rose (can't remember the name at the moment), still in the pot waiting for me to decide where to put it. The reason I have been reluctant to buy roses is the JBs. At my old house I had some roses and those little monsters came in droves to feast. Do you have trouble with them or some great way to control the population? One more question...What kind of camera do you use? Those pictures are so clear. I want to replace/upgrade my digital camera for garden shots. Thanks for sharing, Gillian

So this a prerequisite to be a good gardener; one must love bugs and such? Lol. Although I must say he is kinda cute! George, lover boy and his lady are cute also. But if he kept doing that while on duty you might have to have a talk with him! Everyone is always laughing at me for being scared of crawlers and what not. Just two weeks ago we were at a nursery and a giant worm crawled right next to my foot, it was about 12 inches long! I jumped higher than Michael Jordan and sprinted faster than Usain Bolt! Then today as I was replanting a camellia I found at least four worms! I was not expecting any considering the fact we just added compost a week ago. What a wimp right?

That's really a Happy Ending to that story, You did Good! Recalls something that happened to me a few weeks ago. To back up, about 7 years ago, my husband, while out washing his car, saw a car stop in the neighborhood & a little puppy get dumped. We rounded her up & brought her home. She was the cutest thing, but my husband said four dogs was one too many, though she was "accepted" by our three. Since she had the prettiest reddish fur, we named her "Ginger". Since we had fostered several dogs at that time for a rescue group, I was able to talk them into showing her at their next animal adoption day, which was a few weeks before Christmas. I'm sure it "sweetened the pot" in that we took care of paying for her spaying, so the then-$100 adoption fee would go to the rescue group. As it turned out, there was a little girl there wih her mother who wanted only a puppy for Christmas, and, amongst several, she picked out "Ginger". It was really hard giving Ginger up for me. My husband delivered Ginger to her new family, who, it turned out, lived several blocks from us, and over the years, I've often walked by that house, looking for a sign or sound of Ginger, but never seeing/hearing her. Of course, I had no idea if the family even still lived there. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I decided to walk to Trader Joe's & on the way back, noticed a middle-aged man ahead of me walking a red-haired dog on that same street. My thought was "I wonder IF that could be Ginger?" Sure enough, they both made a left-hand turn at the big yellow house & went in the front door! Ginger is much bigger & has gotten a little gray in the muzzle, but it was HER!! I've often wondered how all the past dogs we fostered made out in their new homes, but was particularly gratified that life turnd out so well for Ginger.

I remember the day we closed on our house. We had to write so many checks for fees and taxes and attorneys,even for the heating oil in the tank, we were left with only $15 in the bank. We had no money even for groceries. We went to my husband's brother's house for dinner that first evening.

Thank you all for the congrats..

Jannie, yes everything is so expensive.. We have to pay almost 800.00 for lawyer taxes etc, plus our downpayment.. Gas is costing 50.00 to transfere over cause there is no meter there, Everything cost money, we might be eating peanut butter sandwiches but at least it will be in our new home lol.

This is my third marriage and while i would like a wedding wedding, I don't have any family here and we want to go on a honeymoon neither one of us has been on a honeymoon and we want to put money into our house, so we will just go the quicky justice of the peace type wedding then have a wonderful Cruise.. Money is better spent in the house and better investment I think.. I am happy regardless, I love him so much and he is taking good care of me while I heal.....

Oh I messed up my ankle over a month ago been through xrays and mri and its just so badly sprained its taking along time to heal. I am out of work till I am 100% better cause its not safe for me if I cant walk down stairs yet (emt)......
