Rosemarie, beautiful pictures! I especially like the seventh picture with the silouette of the tree against the gorgeous purple-pink background. Thanks, Dan

I really hope they resolve the whole Desmond thing. I miss him too. And Daniel Faraday. I assume he is really dead, but who knows? I'd like to see him in sideways. Perhaps Desmond is on the boat with Widmore. Ilana is quite interesting. At first, I was indifferent to her but now it seems she knows all about the island AND Jacob wore black gloves when he visited her in the hospital. Was she the marshals (don't remember his name off hand) proxy on the return flight? Why is she so important? I am still not sure about Jack yet! He has waffled constantly throughout the series even in light of strange, unexplainable things yet has been consistently dense. I hope he finally gets it now but I doubt it. Unless the writing is so off that in one event (the lighthouse mirror) his whole perspective has changed. I would have preferred a more subtle (ie realistic) change. And I love Hurley in sideways! Finally rich and Happy!

The AOL article doesn't say much of anything, really. This is a Kansas story so the better coverage is in Kansas news, so far. It's going to be an ugly story, I think, and those adoptive parents better prepare themselves for a long journey into he!! Here's a link, I hope.

old_dirt......Until this year I used only Miracle Grow. This year I am experimenting with something different with about 2/3 of my new acquisitions. It is an organic product made and sold here in Texas called Lady Bug Raised Bed Blend. I talked to a rep from the company and while she had no knowledge of people using it for hostas (not like you see many hostas in Texas), she thought that the pH of the product matched what hostas require. I mixed in some expanded shale with it. It drains well and seems to retain moisture a little better than MG, which is good for our 90-100 days in the summer, but we'll see if it comes back to haunt me in the winter. http://www.ladybugbrand.com/our-products/soils/raised-bed-blend/
