Please post pics of your citrus leaf problems-help w/ ID of cause
Comments (59)Could be a fungus like Vladimir said, could also be an insect egg or just dirt on a bit of fluff. However, I'm more concerned with how dusty the leaves are. I may just be dust or it could be the beginnings of a spider mite infestation. It's a good idea to wash off the leaves from time to time, like maybe every 4-6 weeks. Take them outside and hose them off, or if that's not possible, put them in the shower and shower them off with cool water. Then let them drain well and put them back where they were. It helps prevent spider mites as they're attracted to dusty plants. And your plants love the rinsing off!...See MorePost- rainy day pics 5/12/08 South central PA
Comments (14)Hey Greenguy, I am sure you are right after looking at your pic. Any suggestions as to what mine might be ? It looks to be the reverse of what you have. If anyone comes up with suggestions, I can probably decipher which one it is. When we moved here 2 years ago, I brought some of my favorite hostas for this small shady nook. Apparently the tag blew away this winter. I know I brought Capt. Kirk, I just have to find him now ! In the meantime, what else could this hosta be ? Thanks to everyone for their comments !

Comments (5)Glad you enjoyed it! :-) I spent an hour or more looking around too! Lots of neat ideas which served to make me bold enough to do a few (more) funky things in my yard! BTW, I was looking around at those gardening books that are on the aisle at Lowes. One was about painting things in the garden. It had the cutest ideas. One was painting a little row of elephants on that gray scalloped edging. If you are in Lowes check it out....See Moreroses....and more..please post your flower pics..
Comments (114)I have been enjoying everyones gorgeous gardens and fabulous flower pictures. We finally have warm weather here in Wisconsin. Tulips, daffodills and other early spring flowers have come and gone. Roses,peonies and others are not blooming yet.My flowering trees were a week to 10 days later than normal but as you can see by this one. It was worth the wait....See More

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoWe just got our Christmas tree. It’s in the stand warming up waiting to be decorated. We’re going to get something from a local restaurant for dinner then will decorate the tree. Usually we have the tree at our lake cabin and have a decorating party with our neighbors. Can’t do that because of COVID so we have the tree at home - first time we’ve had one in this house.

3 years agoJust finished dinner of fettuccine and leftover chicken. This is DH’s Advent calendar, an ounce of jam a day. Delicious, but too difficult to get the wee jars out. At least the box is adorable. I moved one of the little trees (a 2-second seasonal arrangement) and dropped it in one of the tea lights. Oh well. Getting ready to settle in for the movie of the night. Probably Sound of Music, a break from Love Actually and Christmas in Connecticut. Oh, we did watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which prompted DH’s purchase of Newman’s Own BBQ Sauce this morning lol.

I’m listening to the Mister play guitar (Def Leppard at the moment, Boston before that) and we’re going to snack on hot chicken wings with our wine. I’m also playing on my early Christmas present — new iPad he brought home all wrapped up. We are not supposed to spend this much on each other this year, but I stepped on my other one and busted the screen. This one is purdy, the rose gold color. I love it. :)
All outdoor decor is out, and most of indoor. We’re putting up our big tree tomorrow. I did get this little vintage number for our hutch yesterday. It’s sweet. 💕
I did a little diorama on my cake stand next to it:
And DH’s first wife (we are both widowed) collected Lenox and other ceramic Christmas decor ... her “cafe” is on the other side. It’s lit by a tea light candle.It’s beautiful, just like her.

3 years agoJust pulled a rustic apple galette from the oven. It's been cloudy, rainy and chilly here all day and that always makes me want the oven on with something that smells yummy.
My comedian DH asked if those were red onions and my comedian in training DS1 responded to the pic asking if those were hasselback potatoes. 🙄

My fur baby is checking out the margarita while waiting for her nightly walk. She knows it’s almost time!
She didn’t get any ! :)

Tonight I was curious to see if my Anastasia music box was still made, not sure why except I adore it. I bought it only for it's beauty and music in 1997 when The San Francisco Music Co made it for the animated Anastasia movie. FTR, I hate the story they did.
The box has been sitting on the same shelf for years and I sometimes open it when I'm dusting. It wasn't until tonight I found out when and why it was made. It sells for $699 on ebay. whoa.
This is going to my DGD pretty soon, I want her to enjoy it while she's still young.
The video below (watch the first min. or so is all) is how I found out the history of the box and who gave it to Anastasia.
Under the video is a picture of the box I grabbed from the web. It's a beauty!
Nicholas and Alexandra dancing. :(

3 years agoA cold, snowy night here in the mountains of northern New Mexico. DH and I were playing Scrabble at our game table in the corner of our living room. Sipping on Bailey’s Irish cream while listening to Miss Billie Holiday. Ahhh!

3 years agoI should have done some shopping yesterday and never got around to it. I know this morning I'll have to finish my online purchases so there's a chance they'll arrive in time.
Instead I spent the day putting up the tree and spreading holiday decor around the home. DH can't handle large live trees anymore so last year I purchased an artificial one and I do like not having to deal with stringing lights and dropping needles. But I bought a fairly slim one last year because it needed to fit in the corner between the fireplace and the French doors. Now that we've re-arranged the furniture it can go between the windows in the family room where it's visible from the kitchen and the hallway - except now my skinny tree looks a little puny. We elevated it 15" by putting it on a wooden crate and that made a huge difference - except it meant going up and down the stepladder a zillion times. But it's done and I'm pleased (although I'd still prefer a larger, wider tree).
Dinner was salad with the last of our garden tomatoes and leftover chili from the night before. Then we both collapsed.Here's a photo of one of my favorite ornaments made by BIL over 40 years ago.
