Actually I forgot Pat Austin which is a show stopper and I love her really really much! Great tea fragrance and the color is really pretty. People here say that it fades to an ugly pink and shatters fast. It is all true, but I am not looking for perfection! I also have Heritage and love that rose a lot too. The blooms are so delicate and the fragrance is strong. Yes, they shatter quickly too and the shrub wants to grow into an octopus. My Heritage, Pat and AD are all grafted. Most of them have not been blooming as frequently as can be, but that's OK with me. Perhaps, I am seeing the good sides and am blind to the bad, but I am pretty relaxed as far as my requirements to roses go, and I enjoy my garden a lot. Masha

Almost 31 years of marriage with his and hers ranting. I learned it from my husband. We never even had a thought about not being married to each other. My hubby just vents that way, but if he doesn't stop within a few minutes, then it is my turn. Then it stops! Some people have a dry sense of humor. Some are trying to make jokes and be funny when they post. That is their sense of humor. It doesn't mean they can't have a rational and meaningful conversation with the other person in their life. Geez, let's lighten up! I doubt the OP is seriously angry with hubby. My mom's going to kill me! I'm so hungry I could eat a horse! I'm so angry I can't talk to my husband! Back to the backsplash tile hunt..... before I pull my hair out! (Another one.)

When I first got really interested in daylilies How Beautiful Heaven Must Be was just coming out. I longed for it. Not only because it was such a pretty daylily with great form, but also because of the name. However I also found out back then just how expensive new daylilies can be. I still love it though and it would be a toss up between your Wonder of It All and HBHMB as my favorites of this group. How wonderful that you have both. How do they compare for you as far as growth and bud count etc?........Maryl

I’m laughing at the thought of my squishy, comfy pillows being called forbidding or them fighting with anyone. I took a couple of more pictures, including the chairs without the pillows and I think you’ll agree that the cushions make them look more inviting, not less. Also rearranged so that people can see that the sofa facing the fireplace, chair at each side will not work in the space. I tried it as the most obvious answer and discarded it. It’s awkward to me, like the sofa is turning it’s back on everyone. Also, due to the placement of the fireplace, the sofa and chairs cannot be centered on the fireplace or the bedroom will be blocked completely. I can’t pull the sofa back much more without blocking the walkway. The fact is, space for the ‘living room” is much smaller than you think. I also pulled the rug away, to demonstrate that the rug and sofa not going together is kind of the least of this room’s problems. I wish I could get a good angle that shows just how off center the couch and chairs are.
