My feet are usually quite rough because I'm always bare-footed. I use my ped egg on a regular basis to keep my feet happy too.

Bare foot trees arriving today

greenmulberry...get ready to be disappointed when you see those trees. They are gonna be small, but don't be discouraged no matter what anyone here says. There are however a lot better places to get trees from, no doubt. The biggest, prettiest and best fruit tree I have, came from Arborday and at the time cost I think $6.98. It has provided my family with beauty in the yard and probably over 140 lbs. of spectacular ( truly something special) fruit in just 3 years fruiting. It is a Methley plum. I also have a Montmorency cherry that produces fruit every year and it's good too...I don't net it so the birds like it more than we do, but that's ok. My wife made a great cobbler this year...the birds got the rest. Arborday's trees take more time and come with greater risk and they are not as good as other better nurseries at getting things right, but they are WAY cheaper. They get some people growing who may otherwise would not have. If a really good nursery could duplicate their advertising campaign...they'd really have something going.

Just bought a peony today

If it's potted I'd leave it in a shady area and plant this fall. I did the same thing, found Takara at a local nursery. It's on my front porch in medium shade; I water it a couple of times a week and will plant it when it and the other herbaceous peonies start to die back.

bought filing cabinets today - now to organize the files!
Q
Comments (4)
Infrastructure!!! I'm a big fan of high-quality filing cabinets. Unless money's an object (or unless you can find truly good ones at the Goodwill), I think people shouldn't spend a small amount of money on them. $125 minimum. They need to be full extension, w/ tough drawer glides. If you truly can't get a good one to start w/, or if you're experimenting, then the cheaply made version is better than nothing. but oh my, how wonderful to have a DECENT filing cabinet. Way to go, mommabird! Paper does hang about. That's because when you filed it, you needed it. But once you didn't need it anymore, it's not like the paper walked out and tapped you on the shoulder to say, "Hey, toss me out!"

I bought five lamps today
Q
Comments (26)
amy and mago, I am liking the ceramic one the more I look at it. I like that it is pulling in the color from rug. OMG Mari, isn't that terrible that I hadn't considered if the lamp is casting the light required for the room? (At times like these, I am glad we are anonymous. lol) Actually, if I have company we are usually not in that room. More likely in the FR which if next to the kitchen. BUT, that is my favorite room to read in so lighting is important. I just tried the ceramic lamp and it works pretty well. The shade is narrow enough that the bulb won't be in anyone's eyes plus it pushes the light down for reading. bac, I was thinking about stacking those pictures, too. OR moving them to a different room. (Lots of empty walls in my house.) lkplatlow, I like that dark metal lamp, too. It is a lamp that I already had in the room by the chair. I think it looks pretty good on that table. Here it is next to the chair with one of the pics I bought yesterday. Here is my other pet peeve on lamps. What is up with the cheap gold looking cords? Thanks again for all the input and feedback. I will take any advice I can get. I am soooooo not good at decorating.

I have a foot file too, and use it at least 2x a week during sandal season. When I get a pedicure the tech always comments on how nice my feet are.

Besides filing, it is good to put lotion or oil on your feet at night when you go to bed. The dryness is what causes the cracking.

Glad that you feet are happy.

I was about to ask whether it was "letter" or "legal" size!

Or whether they are categorizing them by the foot, now.

My podiatrist recommends AmLactin moisturizing lotion. It comes in a tube and is pricey but the tube lasts a long time. I had forgotten about it and came across it in a drawer. Amazing how quickly it softens my heels.

I've heard that some heels get a bit soft ...

I know you'll be pleased with the results. Don't forget the moisturizer after you get rid of all that dead skin.
