Instead, I've got twelve feet up and two on the floor. Suits me just fine.

OK - so where did I put my Felco pruners?
Comments (7)Your Felco pruners are on page 12 of this year's Lee Valley Garden Tools catalog - you might as well order another pair, if only to stop wasting valuable garden time searching for them. Within a week after the new pruners arrive, the original "lost" pair will turn up - and then you'll have a permanent spare for the NEXT time you lose them. Trust me: I've been gardening for too many years and these baffling "events" just seem to be part of the scheme of things. Example: a couple of summers back, I came in for a glass of cold water and laid my Felco pruners on the kitchen counter while doing so. . .but they did NOT return to the garden with me! Later still, when I came in for lunch, I first put away the dishes in the drainer and some odds and ends on the counter - including my pruners. They lay there in that utensil drawer until mid-winter, with me using that drawer dozens of times a week - but I never saw them 'cause I wasn't expecting them there. . . Now your DOG sounds like the answer: if you could just tie a bone to the pruners, he could always find them for you. Carl...See MoreSo I bought 7 rugs...now I need your opinions please.
Comments (32)We swapped the rugs, Gold went to the living room and my DH is happy. He likes it better there and so do I. The color looks less orangey. And the size is good for that room. The silver rug looks 'OK' in the DR but is really a bit too blue for the DR and the fabric I've had for windows. It will be perfect upstairs in my snore room however when I get to that project so both are keepers and will work fine as place holders. Busybee3 - I would keep the table at the round 54" as I only do larger 10+ sit downs a few times a year. I guess I really think of the DR divided into two sections a 6 X 16 hallway and a 10 X 16; as that side is where the table lives, and the light fixture is placed accordingly. I do not want to center the table to the room as that would be trickly for walking to the kitchen. What I consider the hall is really part of the room and will have the buffet placed there. The other walls will have a china cab and server. For now I will have the silver rug placed where the large gold rug is in the first picture, but I will try with out a runner for awhile. Not ideal but will get us by to move in - While I keep my eyes peeled for the perfect rug....See MoreWhere can I put end tables. Confused how to setup with recliners

Comments (32)Well hi, Jenn Codename: Danger! Didn't know we had anyone else from Nebraska posting on Rose Forum these days! Maybe I've been lucky to be planting in the warm spots in my yard, but I've found that even these temperatures in the 20's hasn't refrozen the ground (yet). Supposedly we're going to crawl out of the 30's by tomorrow but I'll believe it when I see it, as the forecast today said 40's and it's not even close (brrrr). If you ever want to join in on a bulk order from Roses Unlimited, I do a bulk order with them every year that saves a percentage off both the roses as well as shipping. You're welcome to order however many you'd like in that shipment from RU and then come down to Lincoln to pick them up. It's too late for this year, but think about it for next year if you're interested. Cynthia...See Moredonna_loomis
