OT Question about cutting some plants
Comments (12)Hi- My huge white flowering moonflower vine (Ipomoea) is blooming for the first time tonight this summer! I wanted to get photos, but remembered my hubby took the camera to C.A.(darn!) Anyway, it is the most heavenly scented honey- sweet-like perfume I've ever smelled! It was so incredible, I wanted to shout to the neighbors to come & sniff it! My Daturas also smell like peanut butter- that's so weird! Concerning Mandevilla, my neighbor says she overwintered hers in her cold cellar for years, but she got sick of dragging it in & out every winter & spring. Mandevilla's another thing I'm trying this year. Does anyone know what a "purple people eater" is? Some type of Datura? is it hardy in zone 7? How well do double purple daturas grow? Might get them on a trade soon...Thanks for sharing all the info... Kasha77...See MoreOT: Good News - Not Bad! Trust Me!! :))
Comments (44)Mike! That is such awesome news. I guess Arrant (and God) knows that you need him in your life awhile longer! I could not be happier for you. On a side note... I think Aleve is the miracle drug... I love it! Have a great weekend. Bob...See MoreNow for Some Good News About Marriage
Comments (26)Congratulations! We'll celebrate 39 years in December. Trailrunner, I know what you mean about "whole new territory". My DH retired May 29th. And, while tears come to my eyes to think of life without him, if he relocates one more item in this house, I may have to beat him to death with a ballbat in his sleep. (My daughter says I shouldn't publicly announce this because the prosecutor could call everyone as witnesses. I say it would be justifiable homicide) Dee...See MoreI could use some good news. You got some?
Comments (42)Hi Rob, Not much to add ... and hope that you're back at least part way out of your blue funk. Brother, retired farmer who lives 1600 miles way, has one son, only child, in a city 100 miles from here, a couple of small grand-daughters from son's second marriage, and comes to visit them a couple of times a year. He'd called to say he was to be in the neighbourhood, and we got together on Friday, I called son and he and his partner were there for lunch, as was brother and wife ... and a couple of favourite cousins were, as well. Brother spent a few years when he was very young with the family of our Mom's brother and their two children when she was ill, so he considers one as almost a sister: the son, a local farmer, died several years ago. The other cousin lives locally and I see her at church fairly often - she, who had voice training, has sung in the choir for 75 years. The brother and I went to deal with some complications over inheritance of cemetery plots that Dad owned ... and it looks as though resolution is to be easier than we figured. Then we sat and had a chat ... and he's rather worried about future viability of his son's marriage. We don't see one another often, but we've been close, over the years. Our brother died over forty years ago, when his kids were in their teens, and our ready-made sister that came with our stepmom lives near brother in Saskatchewan. It's a red letter day when we get together. ole joyful...See More
