It’s perfect. I think we could have a long and very happy relationship.

Look at the floors and wood (among other features). All original.
I will spend most of my time in the sunroom:

I have fallen in love with Heaven on Earth!!!
Comments (11)Sammy, jeane, and sunnishine--how is HOE for bs? I've got a no-spray garden (except for deer repellent!) and I find the floribundas to be pretty bs tolerant/resistant. Pretty Lady appears to be BS PROOF. HOE looks like my kind of rose... Sammy, jeane and sunnishine live in zones much like mine-- (hot and humid)--that's why I asked them. I'm not playing favorites... but we all know that a rose that is awesome and disease resistant in some climes is a MESS in others! melanie...See Morei have fallen in love!! please help!!
Comments (2)Did you move? You had good advice on the other thread that roses need 6 hours of sun. Sweet Chariot is planted in the ground here and gets 8 hours of direct sun per day. SC gets over 3 feet tall x 5 feet wide. It will stay smaller in a pot. Can't advise how it will do without direct sun. Good luck. digger Here is a link that might be useful: Deb & Digger's Sweet Chariot...See MoreHave you ever fallen in love with a plant?
Comments (16)Yep, but I am fickle. Depending on performance,I am out of love and on to another in weeks or months :). Right now? Daylilies - the 50-70 bucks a fan type. Nope, I just admire from afar. Halloween Hocus Pocus daylily - great color contrast, and still, in August, has one lone bud left to bloom. Burgundy Gaillardia - love the performance and color. Kaleidoscope Abelia. Dynamite Crape Myrtle. Double Delight Echninacea - at least until the last two weeks when the blooms slowed dramatically. Any coral bells. Drooling over the new Echinacea coconut and lime. Fallng out of love with Sunset Echinacea, first bloom is gorgeous, but fades too quickly. It may not make it past next year......See MoreI have fallen in love with a sewing machine!
Comments (11)I hope you can get one. I have the Babylock new Espire and am crazy about it. (I didn't need a machine for embroidery, so I went for the Espire as cheaper, though it was still expensive.) I have had the Espire now for 14 months and it has not needed to go back to the dealer for fixing or tweaking in all that time. It is very fast, and I have successfully done my first meandering machine quilting on it. In order to get it, my bargain with DH was that I would make this machine last me the rest of my life (unless it becomes non-repairable, of course). lol. I can't imagine myself wanting anything more in a machine than this one has. Sometimes dealers sell machines under a year old that someone has traded in. It's a long shot, but you might find an Ellegante like that for a lot less. I got a great trade-in deal on my 10-month-old BLQC, and they presumably resold it at a reduced price to someone else--after fixing it up really nice....See MoreJilly
