What do you think of first , when you think of things.... .....
Comments (6)Ornithogalums??? Oh vetivert, you are bad, but Ornithogalum is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of spring chores and getting to work outside, usually in late Feb. Now I realize my question could have and should have been phrased a lot better. How about this? If the Bulb Forum members would submit their (own) pics of plants and blooms grown from bulbs for a new forum picture, what should it be? . Should it be open to anything grown from bulbs? Should it maybe exclude such things that have more 'specific' forums of their own, such as Lily, Tropical, and House Plant? Should it be an individual bloom, or as you suggested, maybe a still life flower arrangement of numerous delectable blooms grown from bulbs? Please 'scuse me for just having tunnel vision and tunnel thoughts of just Daffodils. At any rate, the folks who are having their spring now, can hopefully be trying to get some great pics. Ok...so when does anyone think we could/should start taking picture submissions? Should we wait until late 2010 so glads could be included by those in the US who grow them? Should we wait a full year (or nearly) so the members down under have an opportunity to have another summer blooming season, like for glads? hmmm...what is fairest? I guess before proceeding, I should check with the 'Powers that be' to see for sure if they would be willing to get the pic changed and updated with a pretty pic of our choosing. I hope lots of folks will give their input and in time, post their pics for entry. In doing a search here on the forum, it seems that Tulips and Daffs are the 2 things most often posted about. I imagine though that tulips are most frequently asked about, due to them having problems, or emerging early, or for not blooming a second season when they are thought to be perennials like daffodils. Here is a spring 2009 pic of a bouquet of Daffodil Show rejects. Hopefully in 2010, I can put together a much better arrangement and pic.

Comments (4)I did not hand out treats this year. The landscapping on the way to the door was torn up and I did not want any kids getting hurt. It was really cold and windy anyway. The neighbor said she only got five kids. Here is a funny story. One of my co-workers was kind of sick so she worked from home that day. She started to feel a little better towards dusk, and she had purchased candy. She had been in a bathrobe all day and her hair was a mess. She found a goofy looking hat, a pair of eye glasses with eyeballs on springs bouncing off the front of them and a fake mustasche. She had quite a few trick or treaters and she put on a goofy act for each group that came to the door. The last group of the nite was 6 little kids and two dads in masks. She opened the door and started into her act. Keep in mind that this woman has a very distinct voice. After she finished her performance one of the men said "Randi?????" That's her name. Turns out this guy was one of the higher up VP's in our company. She had done some market research for him recently and had several meetings with him. She was so embarrassed that she dropped the plastic pumpkin of candy! LOL...See MoreI think I finally have it... what do you think?
Comments (6)Yes, GE Cafe matches much better, but having compared them side by side, the Samsung is much nicer and seems sturdier. Gets much better reviews as well. Samsung is at least a closer look than the Kitchen Aid fridge I first looked at. . . As for Bosch, I like the size of KA better, gets solid reviews, liked it in the store, and use one now that is terrific. Thanks!...See MoreI wonder what dogs think of Halloween
Comments (20)My dog a sweet natured Rottweiler, wears a prong collar when we go out in public. I also "double safety" it by attaching it to her flat collar with a small carabiner. She is well socialized both with people and other dogs. Adores kids. Last weekend a friend and went to a park and brought her along. There was a crazy women there who were being led by a large Doberman (maybe a mix) on a soft harness. The kind dumb owners put on for Foo-Foo's comfort. The dobie was not socialized. Not at all. It went wild when it spotted my dog. Hackles up, in total fight mode, lunging and snarl/barking. The crazy dumb beech of a women grabbed her harness with both hands and the harness was pulling away from the dog's body. When my dog reacted, with a sharp bark and a stance I was able to give her a mild correction, speak softly telling her to come along and we walked away from the train wreck it might have become. My dog had a great time at the park because training never ends. We worked on her compulsion to lunge at squirrels. There were plenty to practice on. Once she got that lunging was unacceptable she sat and watched them. In high drive mode, body aquiver, yet she stayed. I guess I'll go sit alongside summer as another mean dog mom. LOL...See MoreUser
