Timing of bulbs for greatest effect
Comments (3)Keeping your own journal IS the secret. All the tulips I buy every year while they do say early, mid season or late there is never a listed number of days from planting to bloom. I have found that the tulips I saved from last year and chilled exactly the same as the tulips I bought this year, will bloom about 3 weeks earlier than the earliest of the new tulips. I do plant all my tulips at the same time. Maybe planting them a week between each batch would work as it does with Gladiolus. Al...See MoreDoes your house have to be up to date at all times
Comments (47)Great question! I like to know what current trends are, but not to chase them. If something is 'in' and I like it, and it suits my style, I may incorporate it into my house in a small way. It might be something as small as a lamp shade, accessories, throw pillow, or paint color choice. My style is still evolving (I'm in my mid-30s), but I have a strong enough sense of what I like (traditional but not fussy), to feel comfortable ignoring trends that don't appeal to me. Like ideefixe, I don't like the idea of my home becoming stagnant, so this approach lets me keep things a little bit 'fresh' while remaining true to myself. I used to think that my preference for a relatively traditional style, with a mix of current and antique pieces, meant that I was somewhat immune to trend-chasing or the potential to be dated. But it occurred to me, while reading the recent threads on trends/what's 'in', that different time periods/decades have their own approach to 'traditional' style. The 80s' interpretation of traditional was different from that of the 90s, and that of the 2000s, and so on. I'm sure it's the same with more contemporary styles. There are regional differences too. The era/region may manifest itself in the choice of upholstery (solid vs. patterned, geometric vs. floral), colors, or hardware. Few rooms are truly timeless, even if many of their elements, viewed in isolation, would be considered timeless. Magnaverde's room is timeless but that is the exception rather than the rule. Since my antiques are mostly in the bedrooms, and the living areas are furnished with things I bought in the last 10 years, my house probably screams "late 90s/early 2000s 'traditional.'" To some, it's already dated, and to many, it soon will be. But the rooms that are finished or close to being finished reflect my taste, and that's what matters most to me....See MoreDo you isten to music or TV all the time?
Comments (45)I like silence, or natural sounds at least. Only very rarely watch TV or listen to music, and can't sleep with that kind of noise going on. Very comfortable with thinking and living inside my own mind -- in fact, I enjoy thinking very much. Love to hear bird song and the sounds of the children in the neighborhood playing outdoors. When I do listen to music, I listen to music -- serious or other thought is impossible because the music will dominate. I do not understand the rationale of outdoor speakers in neighborhoods. What happens when multiple neighbors with outdoor speakers decide to listen to THEIR music all at the same time? Battle of the bands, or what? How about concern for the effect on neighbors who simply want peaceful enjoyment of their own property? Can music from these outdoor speakers actually be enjoyed when played too low for the neighbors to hear? I seriously want to know. Here, fortunately, we have a municipal code and a police department willing, as they are able (obviously not a life-or-death priority!), to mediate and deal with music played loud enough to interfere with the peace of neighbors, but I feel for those who do not....See MoreJeopardy Hosts....
Comments (13)I would be happy with Ken as the host. We’ve watched Jeopardy for years and years It was something I used to do with my father too, and the different times he was in the hospital and then in rehab. When we knew we were going to lose him, and my sister and I were caring for him, Jeopardy was the only thing he’d make the effort to get out of bed to watch. That was during James H’s run. Recently Alex talked about children recognizing the theme song. We watch my one year old granddaughter 3 nights a week and when Alex said that I hoped to myself that it happens with her. Then the following week we got the sad news. Watching Jeopardy is a family tradition, if you will. My heart and mind will be okay if the baton is passed to Ken. I hope he can do it well because that of course will be the deciding factor....See Morerob333 (zone 7b)
