pics of clem i found in my garden after accidental severe pruning
Comments (9)The one very successful clematis I have is Josephine. That thing is gorgeous. I have it growing over my gas meter. It comes to life every spring from what looks like a bunch of dead twigs. Two years ago we had our house painted. The clematis was not in the way, but apparently a bird had put a nest in the vine (that's how dense it was) and abandoned it when the painters were there. I was away on vacation and DH noticed a bad smell (the dead baby birds). So he cut down the entire vine and put it in a garbage bag. I was devastated. But she came back in a few weeks, and is now as big as ever. You do need some mulch on the ground. Clematis like cool roots....See MoreLook at the Beautiful Creature I just found in my garden-
Comments (20)That's something I miss about living in a warmer climate. I didn't have iguanas, but the little chameleons and tree frogs were everywhere and they're just adorable. You live in such an ideal climate for all these tropicals we struggle with up north. While we're freezing you'll be sure to post more beautiful photos of your green growing things to encourage us?

Comments (12)Rita, I always kill a few in the spring and early summer but mostly, they are young ones. I think though, that where theres smoke there's fire. Mama snake has to be around someplace. Chris, for a few years, I thought the babies were earthworms until I finally noticed how they crawl. I saved one I had killed and had it identified. I don't need to tell you that I look for and expect to see them here. I found a 3 foot rat snake in the middle of my back yard a couple of days ago but let him go because of his diet. I hate all snakes though.. Kay, don't you ever see them in your area? I think that the best snakes are the dead ones!! Squirelly Pete! I have a long fron porch and have gates at the bannister to keep critters off but I am surrounded by woods and there's lots of wild life. Some are not nice. There have been black bears seen very close by and I try to be aware of my surroundings anytime I am outside. We have tons of dogs ( my husband hunts) both beagles and tree hounds and the noise they make help to keep the critters at bay. I suppose they don't know ( critters) that the dogs are on chains.. Hahaha!! I won't tell if you won't! Ellie...See MoreFound out I'm the father of 12 year old!
Comments (10)OMG! What a nightmare. If I were you I'd do two things right off the bat. Find a good attorney and meet with him so that you know the right answers to the questions you've asked (or start at the web site mentioned above for a less-expensive route). THen, also find a counselor for your own marriage and family to help you get through it. I know that they cannot force you to move though, or to visit the child. It could end up being a financial obligation only. It looks like you live in CO (?) does she live in CO as well? If so, see the link provided. Child support and paternity laws will be based on the state SHE lives in. I see that in CO, paternity can be established up until the child is 18. So based on this, I guess she could legally go after you for child support plus arrears, but there is a chance that you could fight it. Especially since the girl already has a 'dad' and a 'step-dad'. Where I live, I think the courts would favor making 'dad', blood-dad or not, be responsible for supporting the child. Especially after 5 years of marriage. Have you had a DNA test? If not, you should insist on one. Also, where does this $500/mo figure come from? There is a formula that takes into account how many children you already have, what your income is and has been over the past 12 years, etc.. It also takes her income into consideration (see FAQ's on the link provided) Has she used such a formula to cite this amount, or is she just hoping for 500/mo ? You have the right to go to the court and question any court orders that are given to you. Make sure they do things right, don't just accept the amount they ask you to pay. Trust me, they will try to get away with asking you to give her whatever she has requested, in the hopes that you won't question it!! (Friend of the Court is often called "Friend of the Mother" ) Hope things work out for you... Here is a link that might be useful: CO child support info...See MoreOkiedawn OK Zone 7
