Comments (20)I just got back from Rockport today, and we were flooding. My yard had been underwater for days, I had to bale out water from the laundry room, everything was floating. I had to remove the bricks from around my flowerbeds and dig trenches. I cannot believe all the flooding around the Corpus Christi area. Today coming home IH_37 was under water before the 188 exit. Nothing on this was on the news. I watched the weather channel, and nothing. Last Saturday Linda, came over to take pictures of the white hummingbird in my yard, she said we already had over 10 inches of rain, not including Saturday. It has rained almost every day since then. I was down for 3 weeks, and this last week was a nightmare. I am glad I was there, the water was at least 5 inches deep in my flowerbeds, I removed the bricks and dug trenches so the water could escape. I was soaked, but I think I might have saved some of my plants. Today when I left some of my new plants had lost their leaves, and the datura actually looked like they had been fried. I will go back next weekend, no telling what I will find. Three weeks ago I planted some new giant elephant ears, today they actually looked yellow, I sure hope they make it. The ground is just saturated. Barbra...See Morea few pics from my friend Betty's garden today... :)
Comments (6)Hey, Dean, love your pictures--always love to see garden photos. Very nice daylilies--my fav is Morrie Otte. I looked it up on AHS and it says it has a silver-frost eye zone with a green throat. It certainly caught my eye. Avedon...See MoreMy 'fireworks' for today and friends
Comments (6)WOW, Jane, you really have a "fireworks show". Now, where can I buy those? Also, how do I find room in my little gardens? I've already misplaced a plant I received as a gift this spring. Don't ask. Kay...See MoreDo you have Irish Luck? (especially today!)
Comments (24)Ah I see Don, Comedy isnt your day job is it? lol. Yes flying insults and profanities back and forth is part of our culture and not just in a sporting context either. To insult a stranger is a no no, but to your family and friends its seen as endeering and cements a group together. It is said that it hasn't been a good wedding or funeral or whatever til there's been a bit of a scrap. The wit you can hear in the football stands sometimes could make you wet yourself. I'm more of a rugby fan myself though. tsugajunkie, its quite often misslabled here too....See Morejakkom
