Did you feel the earthquake?
Comments (1)Hi Ginny, thanks for asking. When it happened I called out to my husband and asked what the heck was that? He said it felt like an earthquake. We lived in San Diego for 17 years and experienced many, many earthquakes but this one was different. The chandelier was not swinging, the first thing I would notice in CA. It was more a noise - like a car had hit the house. The most interesting part to me was the reaction of our two cats. Both of them were wide eyed and spooked. We live in Stockton Springs.

Comments (5)Glenda I did have a pie cherry for years. It was a natural dwarf. It got borers too but lived for years so was worth having. I wondered if the ornamental ones needed spraying and care like fruit trees. My flowering crab blooms so briefly but it takes absolutely no care and I can look forward to its blooms every year. Three classmates and I visited last week. The one that has Rheumatoid Arthritis is eating black cherries and vegetables and watching her diet. She says she no longer has to take some of the strong medicine. I don't have RA but know someone who does. I love when Wal-Mart has those dark sweet cherries a certain time of the year, but I think another pie cherry would be my only choice. I may get two as you said for pollination....See MoreOakley....did you feel the earthquake?!
Comments (11)Oh God it scared the you know what out of me! We had one the night before that many here in my town felt (90 mi. away from the epicenter) but we slept through it. I had just gone to bed, dh in the LR, then I thought I heard some Apache Helicopters fly over, then the whole house started shaking like crazy and it was LOUD. It kept going for about 45 seconds, and once the shaking stopped we could still hear the earthquake! First I called my DS who experienced the same thing 25 min. away, then I called my friend in CA. and said, "WTF?" LOL. She kept telling me to "calm down, stand in the doorway." I told her heck no, I was going outside! I don't drink but there was a beer in the fridge and I gulped the whole thing in a matter of seconds! Now I'm afraid to go to bed tonight since both happened two nights in a row. One at 10, the other at 2am....See MoreQuestion for today 4/4
Comments (9)No, my daughter helped to teach me, however. LOL. I have taken my g'children up to the sewing room and worked with them on making pillows and pillow covers. Then I spent three days with my g'daughter overseeing her making her first outfit. She was only about eight or nine at the time, and cut and sewed a pair of capri pants and blouse all by herself and did a wonderful job of it. She still talks about it and was so pleased when I made a quilt for her to find pieces of the fabric she used for the outfit. I have offered to teach her to quilt, and hope someday she'll take me up on it....See Moreoldbusy1
