DS Parke, met a kt'er today, and had to call me!
Comments (15)Well I'm still smiling, Glenda. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Parke today and it was a real hoot. (I admit that I did "play" with him a bit.) First of all, I want you to know that I think Parke is a charming young man and a son for a Mom to be proud about. I'd seen him several times over the past month or so as he whizzed past my office and I knew that he looked familiar to me. Today was actually the first chance that I had to stop him and we had a long talk. I thought I recognized him from photos that you posted but decided today that I wanted to confirm it. So...I had a very pleasant break in my day and a visit with a very nice and polite young man. That was a treat for me too and I hope you pass that along to Parke. And honestly Glenda, I thought you 'd mentioned here or either told me at some point that Parke used to post at the KT. In any case, when he kept blushing (Parke blushes!) and asking today how I knew him and you...I did tell him to ask him Mom to explain. So I dont think I divulged any "secrets" and you can breath easy. LOL...See MoreWhich KT'ers have you met? Kathy wants to know!
Comments (51)The first two KTer's I met were Pat Lavender and FranCes....and my sister embarrassed me. She insisted on going with me in case one of them was an axe murderer. But now I know Wildchild is really the axe murderer. The only reason I have survived our visits is because I take her to Jocko's for steak. I remember going to a get together at Joni's in Ventura long ago and then a couple of them in Bakersfield I have pictures from a Tehachapi trip. I got rescued by Flamingo from a shopping mall in Branson...I think it was Branson. It is really great meeting KTers and hope anyone who travels on the central coast of California will contact me....See MoreHow many people have relocated for a better growing climate?
Comments (11)I moved because of climate. I wanted somewhere greener and lusher, with more trees, and more water, and cooler summer temperatures. Unfortunately the new location had crappy weather for half the year (late October to late April, continuous rain, cold and overcast skies) but the other half was paradise. I'm still trying to make up my mind. One place is paradise for half the year, and the other place is basically paradise for the other half of the year. Wish I could move back and forth like a migrating bird. Well actually both climates have their interesting features in the off-seasons. Location A, you can easily grow subtropicals, and it's possible to grow most tropical fruits, virtually no disease to worry about but the trees require consistent watering, especially during the summer Location B, much easier to grow stone fruits, and it is a paradise for growing fruit, but it can still require watering in the summer. You could grow things here like raspberries and gooseberries that were extremely difficult to grow in the other climate. The growing season was a little bit short though. I've heard of several places called "city of eternal spring", typically in Latin American countries at higher elevations where the temperatures are extremely moderate throughout the entire year....See MoreSo when people see how many plants you have ...
Comments (11)Lily, I so agree with you ! People will enter my home and just walk by all my beautiful plants…This perturbs me so…Don't they notice such rare beauty? Don't they realize that they are real, not fake? Can't they recognize the skills required to make these plants flourish??? Brutes! lol My hip visitors will immediately vibe with the peaceful mood my plants create and admire my environment. I've just accepted being that I am a weird, eccentric plant nerd who knows the benefits of plants in the home. Actually, I am very cool…some people just don't appreciate it!...See More- 10 years ago
