Tess is such a good rose. It was on the bush 6 days and just kept getting poofier and poofier but held together. Its been a dry heat and in the 90's this past week plus uber smoky from the wildfires and literally 'raining' ash some days. Gotta love Tess! Some others doing well in the wicked heat TIMF Litchfield Angel Jude the Obscure...I swear I couldnt get enough pics of him the other day!! He is sooo ~Dreamy~ I'm obsessed with the way the buds look half open. I could get lost in those buds for hours!

Here are some pics of my Hall Bath and Master Bath >>> works in progress Just test a test post JT Image link:

Hey there! I am seriously surprised to see that anyone bothered to look at my post and then actually comment on it! A happy surprise, of course, because this forum is great fun and it is definitely a treat to get to know you guys online. Glad you guys enjoyed my writing. My husband is getting a little nervous about my kitchen fetish. But hey, a little competition to spice things up in the marriage never hurt! And it looks like our loans may be going through so a summer fling is possibly coming my way!!! Colleen--Wouldn't it be great if we could have a show/model kitchen and an industrial workhorse kitchen? Oh..where do the fantasies end??? Jterrilynn--I love that look! and it really makes the kitchen more affordable if you go with a dark stain instead of painted cab on the lowers! Buehl--You are always right on top of it. Thanks for the advice, it is because of you that I figured out I don't need a photosite account in order to post pics...just the html code. RJR--I am adopted, so it is always a possibility ;) Okay, unfortunately for all the forum members, I am an internet psychopath. I have my blog (linked below) and love *sharing*....sometimes I am irrelevant with it. Like, for example: where i am usually fantasizing about my kitchen oops!

Link works for me on my desktop. Looks great Pete! Thanks for the photos. I agree, there is something great about watching a tiny tree grow into something substantial. The majority of my plants started as puny mail orders. Only now have I started buying larger size plants and stretching my plant budget.
