Haase!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't kid around...I got to go back there in a month roflmao Karyn I just like you to know that I was even scared of my own shadow when I saw something HUGE out of the corner of my eye this morning while watering roflmao Got to go back and READ. Guess I missed the best part but had to water till now. Oh but I did take Hibiscus cuttings. Please cross your fingers for me...I really want to share them :-) Lucy

Frances what a *gift* that you actually got to see this little one and he even waited for you to return with the camera :-) Eloise I always believe that whatever we are suppose to have in life...we WILL :-) good luck in replacing or finding what you are looking for. Dee thank you for sharing the little grandma story lol. I know exactly what you mean. The things we do, that we would not dream of doing if it was not for or with our grandkids! Shirley sorry about the reminder. How is the walking going? Dianne how is Tommy handling his insulin treatment? Can you keep your brugs going inside until they bloomed? YES I asume for you the *winter* has arrived. :-( Marquest still do not remember your name and if you have given it away before and I am just forgetful...I am sorry. If you rather stay marquest..that is fine too. Sooner or later I have your address in my little pink sharing book also lol I LOVE your picture! Kristy don't you just hate it when you walk straight into a spiderweb with your face? That is when my patience for spiders stops lol. I keep taking down their web so long until they move someplace else. Guess you are ready for Halloween lol. A few days ago when we had the morning fog...EVERYTHING showed up so nicely. Got some really great pictures that day. Karyn there is NO WAY that sweet Kyle would do that to you ;-) I am more worried about the birthday bashes you throw rofl. I saw that too that he did not have as long as a tail as his brother or sister, right next to him. I am with you. I would not mind for the Turkey's to stroll by the house. But they take the back road. Lucy

Well I could have waited a little longer...but I just do not want to spend days on the garden if we would get bad weather during the time all the kids and grandkids are home. That does not happen very often, that they are all home at the same time. So this year...it was fine with me :-) Besides....I have a Santa Rosa bloom on a cutting going at it in the green room. lol Lucy

Yes, most of us can certainly sympathize! I'm sorry you're dealing with this, and it's hard to ignore things like this when you work so hard on your own property. At least there's a good fence. My neighbor across the street is on disability, and something of an alcoholic I gather. The house isn't too terrible from the outside, aside from needing a good power washing and one boarded up window. What bothers me is that he has a collection of bright red, Target shopping carts that he uses to collect recyclables and transport them to the recycling center for the deposit. I wouldn't mind so much if he kept the carts reliably on the side of the house, out of view, but he regularly leaves them right square on the front lawn or his driveway, and of course they're bright red. Sometimes he abandons the carts here and there on the side of the street, to return for later I suppose. At times, he keeps other sorts of metal recycling in front of the house. Especially annoying was a refrigerator that sat out there for several months. I eventually made a comment to him about it "do you need help moving that?" and he got the hint and it was gone within the week. The only saving grace is that he is very nice and friendly, and does occasionally take the hints that I drop. My dream is to one day buy the house and flip it, or maybe retain it as a rental property. I have already visualized what I'd plant on the property, so I can look across the street and see something pretty from my front windows. Patience is key! -Chris
