Does anyone else feel like they 'give up' this time of year?
Comments (21)Yes, Ginny, that's a good point. My DH keeps suggesting that I get a greenhouse so I can "garden all year" - and I keep saying No way! My fall gardening season is coming to an abrupt halt after tomorrow, as I'm leaving for a 5-week trip on Saturday. There are lots of volunteer tomatoes about to ripen, the crape myrtle has just started to really bloom fully, the huge Salvia leucanthemum is peaking, and most of the old mums have not really started showing color but are full of buds. The Franklinia altamaha is looking perfect ... at least a couple of them (I have 5, I think) are loaded with flowers and buds. My newly planted border still needs constant attention to keep ahead of the weeds and volunteers and to add mulch here and there and check the soil moisture, and the newer trees and shrubs need to be checked every few days to be sure they're getting their water etc needs met. When I get home, it will all be frosty and brown. DH is not going to be able to keep track of anything, and I'm just hoping we start getting some regular rain, soon. It will be spring before I know what survives this kind of neglect. So, if you can keep gardening this month, count your blessings, and enjoy these last few weeks of the season. It's going to be a long winter!...See Moredoes anyone feel like helping me w/ master bath hardware selects?
Comments (12)i found the mercury glass knobs on amazon. they came six to a package; with shipping it came out to $6 a knob! i actually had my eye on them for my closet, so if i don't use them in the bathroom they'll go there. and breezy, i also thought about the MOP knob but decided against because i thought too matchy as well. -and then i moved on to glass or crystal and decided they would be lost against the dark wood. i think the mercury knobs will work well. we'll see! elle: thank you. the floor tile is some kind of italian porcelain i picked up from best tile. ditto for the shower walls, except it's a crackle tile that doesn't need to be sealed. never saw such an animal, but it's smooth and the crackle finish is much slighter than the usual. i would have carried the marble over from the vanity top but we have well water....See MoreDoes anyone feel like a New Year 'Old Rose' Quiz...
Comments (11)No, you didn't miss it, Vaporvac. I'm so sorry to have to let down anyone who was looking forward to it, but unfortunately I've been unwell (I have severe ME/CFS) which the brutal summer heatwave we're in currently is making even more challenging. The neuro-cognitive impairment aspect of the ME means I simply can't think properly in the particular, somewhat more complex ways, including doing computer-y things, necessary to organise the Quiz into its final usable form. In the midst of this, an urgent need for online advocacy has recently arisen - an issue that could radically affect the lives of people with ME in Australia and around the world for years to come - and this has been taking and will continue to take almost all my energy - what doesn't go into the bare basics of survival - over the next few weeks, in order to for me to be able to make my contribution before the deadline. (We sort of 'run on empty' most of the time in a state of permanent physical, mental and even emotional exhaustion because the mitochondria in our cells can't produce and replenish energy in the normal way.) So, my apologies again to you and others, but it looks as though this is going to be one of those fun projects I so often just have to 'let go'. It's both frustrating and embarrassing to offer something and then to not be able to deliver, but since it happens so often, I did put in that little disclaimer about not being able to guarantee I could do it....! So, thank you, Vaporvac for asking about it, and maybe we can do it later in the the year, circumstances permitting... :-)...See MoreWhat is this marble like counter that feels like Corian?

Comments (4)That’s likely super large format tile, with mitered edges. Like Dekton, Laminam, Florim, and other large porcelain slabs. It has a matte “hand” to it in the non glossy versions. It’s commonly specified for architectural cladding....See MorePawprint
