We have closing on the "new" house on Friday. Will sleep there that night, after cleaning cabinets and the like.

The movers come on the tenth of July.

the new house pictures are here, but of course, still with the present owners stuff.

Can I move my New Dawn rose now?
Q

Raptorfan, I am not sure what your local conditions are like at the moment, but usually plants are best moved in Spring or Fall, when the soil thaws and the chances of frost are slim. This should be done before the plant leafs out, (when it is still dormant) and should help to minimize transplant shock. You will certainly want to move it before the weather gets too warm. Many people like to 'prune' the roots first in order to help minimize shock as well. You dig a spade in a circle around the outer edge of the rootball (not too close to the plant, you are not trying to cut off all of the roots, just trim them), and then let it be for a few weeks. Oftentimes when using this method it is a good idea to backfill the crevice with loamy soil. After 2-3 weeks the entire root ball is dug up, and then moved to the new location. Before you begin, dig a good sized hole and amend it with a bit of compost or other humus rich soil. Be sure to mix in some of the native soil with the compost as well. Water the plant after transplanting to help the soil to settle around the roots. Roses prefer a site in full sun, but you may find that New Dawn will tolerate part sun. You will want to wait before fertilizing it. Depending on how large the plant currently is, you may want to prune it back a little; this is something that is often done when transplanting various plants, trees & shrubs that also helps the plant to develop its' new root system as it will have less top growth to support. In order to help the plant grow onto its' new support, you should tie it on (as the new shoots grow) with garden twine (we use sisal twine, which will eventually decompose, but you can use many many different things). Do not tie the stems too tightly (you don't want anything that will constrict the canes as they grow) just enough to give it some support and grow freely. These ties should be checked a few times during the growing season to ensure that they are not restricting growth or getting in the way, and are still secure, etc. When digging your rose up, be sure to try and keep the root ball intact. Do not pull on the stems, or carry it by the stems; it should be handled with care. New Dawn is usually a very vigorous rose, but how long it will take to become a 'good size' it depends on the age of the plant and exposure, and so on. Over time it grows to approximately 12 - 18 feet in height x 6-10 feet in width. Good luck with your transplanting! -Plantenthusiast_2008

How do I put it behind me and move on with my new life
Q
Comments (2)
I suppose one could chastise you for all of the things you have done wrong, but you asked for advice so I will throw in my two cents. You were (are) in a marriage that is failing and you are choosing to put that failure all on yourself - stop right there. Neither one of you was putting your full effort into the situation. He doesn't follow through with his promises to land a job and then won't follow you to your next job? He needs to stay with/follow you. There is no reason for him to stay behind (no job and your daughter is not in school, yet). Yeah, you cheated. And he is taking advantage of that instead of trying to get things back on track. You are both at fault here. You both decided to 'take a break and see other people'? That is not marriage. And you allowed yourself to believe that the only job you could do is one that takes you away for weeks at a time. You both need to change careers - yours is actually a career change; his is getting off the couch. You need to think about what is best for your daughter. And that would be a stable home life. Not mom or dad gone for 6 weeks at a time. If the marriage does end, then you will surely be forced into a new career if you have any hopes of raising your daughter alone. Would that be so bad? To put your daughter over a career? Careers/jobs can come and go. Your daughter is not so expendable. Do what is best for her.

Remember my post about Survivor moving to Sunday?
Q
Comments (6)
CBS airs both Survivor and Amazing Race. Since Amazing Race has always aired on Sunday, and Survivor has always aired on Thursday, I highly doubt that Survivor would be moved to Sunday unless Amazing Race flops with it and ends up on Thursday. We watch both shows and have never heard that either one is being moved to a new day, other than the announcement two weeks ago that there would not be an episode of Survivor last week and this week it would shown on Wednesday (which is because of the "March Madness" basketball games). And it's too early for Survivor to start talking about when the finale will be shown.

Moving into a new house and wonder about colour of kitchen niche.
Q

Thank you all! I guess painting is the easiest thing. I do like this new house. We sold our wonderful house by happenstance and my husband is thrilled. We live on Lake Ontario with amazing views of Toronto’s skyline but we are at the stage to downsize and got an offer we could not refuse. Luckily, we found this condo townhouse which is pristine, interesting and in a development of people our age - retirees. I will miss my beautiful home on the lake but it’s too much work for us now.

I really like it too Moni. Very nice laundry room with lots of cupboards. The yard is calling you I'm sure. Is there a basement?

We are on the waiting list to get a new roof at the present house. There were several major hail storms, starting on April 7.

At least we managed to get bumped up to late July, from the first estimates of mid September.

Then the ceilings will have to be fixed, and painted, and then the house can be put on the market. ARGH!

Leslie, very few houses in Oklahoma have basements, and this one doesn't either. No tornado shelter either.

The yard has lots of possibilities, :)
and I have lots of my plants already in pots, to take them with me.

I especially like the woodwork and built-ins, and the deck off of the MB.

I would be living in that woodsy back yard as much as possible, too.

I know you are glad to be getting settled.

What a great house. I love all the storage and the yard is great. But I highly suspect it'll be even better after you turn your magic on it. Enjoy your new home!

Great house. What fun it will be to personalize it. All the wood is gorgeous. Explain to me about the area where the piano is. What is beyond all that framed so beautifully glass?

You new place looks great and those deep eaves on the front of the house will keep hose beautiful windows nicely shaded. Boy it seems like it was only a week or two ago that you announced you were moving.

Where does the bike rack go?

The mirrored wall has the hallway leading to it, plus the master bedroom behind it.

The bikes will have to move in to a shed, we plan on putting where their pickup is. Not enough room in the garage.

Wow, Moni, that was fast.
The backyard looks very peaceful and by the way, don't you look cute in that dress!
How are you feeling about the move?

LOVE that yard, lots of shade trees, yay! I'm sorry you're moving farther away from me, though, so if you ever DO find yourself in my area, you must let me know, Moni.

I think you like change, so I think this move will be a good one for you. The new house looks really nice, too, you'll have fun making it your own.

Moni, I didn't think there were to many basements there. But it looks like the house is down a little hill, so that will help. And the house itself is of stone. Another plus.
I can just imagine your thinking as you scoped out the back yard, that has lots of potential.

It's a great house, congratulations. Still in Tulsa?

Went to Tahlequah (Tenkiller) last weekend. We tried to eat at Sam and Ella (love that name) but they had no pizza dough thawed out.

Kim, I LOVE the pizza's at Sam and Ella's! To bad, they couldn't accommodate you.

No longer in Tulsa. I am getting around, but only in Oklahoma. LOL. Back to the OKC area, this time, Edmond.
