yet another plant(or weed) id - thank you :)
Comments (5)One warning with the Caesar weed...the seeds stick to anything that brushes against it, so be sure you deadhead quickly. And let us know if that works for you. Tasselweed is a favorite of mine in meadows, etc. The butterflies love it. I bought seeds for an improved variety one year, and it was gorgeous. The flowers were slightly larger and the most electric red-orange you can imagine. They sort of wove their way through the sunflowers and other plants like little red jewels. Now that I'm remembering them, I'm going to have to look for seeds again.

Comments (4)Place a big pot of some hummingbird attracting annual on your back porch and hang the feeder close by. They'll discover it in no time. And I find some feeders are more appealing than others - forget the fancy blown glass ones and go with the cheapo plastic discs. These tend not to spoil as fast in hot weather and give the hummers a perch for feeding......all the better to watch them!! And the species you are describing are most likely Anna's. They are year round residents in the Puget Sound area and are not the most colorful hummers on the planet, especially when juveniles. Adult males often have iridescence and a red throat. And I'd not worry about them being fearful of the house. IME, hummers are not afraid of much - not me , not the house, not my cat (who knows he's not anywhere as fast and just looks) or the dog. In fact, I am a little bit afraid of them coming into the house as a hanging basket they frequent is right by the back door that is almost always open in hot weather. And they hover and stare at me through the windows....See MoreReady to begin the bathrooms remodel, what to do first/ Second? E
Comments (3)Remember tile is permanent so you would be wise to select something which will not go out of style or be difficult to design around. Earth tones will always be good. That said, I cannot imagine selecting floors independent of the walls. Size of tile is somewhat dependent upon the space. 12" works almost everywhere. Smaller tiles with more grout lines make for better foot security - especially if you will be using polished stone. Personally I believe glass tile is trendy though they look nice. Glass is more costly to install. Make a drawing of your space - floors and walls, then visit a quality tile shop. Look at their displays and purchase a few tiles to take home (they're returnable), then speak with one of the deisgners. Generally a free service when purchasing. They will assist with borders or accent inserts to liven the space. You might combine stone with ceramic or go all the same. Once you've selected the tile, move on to paint. My 2 cents. Good luck....See MoreWhat do you see first?
Comments (31)<I have no interest in being around noisy sports fans - they are the worst. My, so judgmental.> There is nothing judgmental about it - that is simply what annoys me the most - therefore they are the worst for me, but that is not a judgement. There is nothing wrong with them, but I just do not want to be anywhere near them. My being annoyed by them is not a judgment. I have friends who can be noisy sports fans, and I will not be around them when they are watching sports. In general, I prefer a calm environment. When I was a child, my father would drag me to rodeos with him, and these would offend me so much that I would cry constantly. Eventually, he stopped dragging me with him....See More- 5 months agolast modified: 5 months ago
