Yes.
41 degrees here this AM, altho they said 43. Brrr---from me and my dog (Dora)
its got down to 39* up this way & I still have Brugmasia's in Bloom I need to get them cut this week .
well gotta get off here I"ll BBL
39° here now. It will be back in the 80s Wednesday, but I suppose the days will get cooler and cooler from now on. No frost this morning.
What kind of dog is Dora? I put the cats out about 3 or 4 am and they were very ready to come back in when I got up around 6.
I am so ready for college basketball season! Go Cats!!!
Dora is a chihuahua, the only chihuahua in the world. She sleeps on the back porch in a pet carrier. I cut a hole in the screen so she can go in and out as she pleases. In winter I put a radiant heater under her sleep box unless it is real cold. Then she comes inside for the night. She prefers to be outside and is happy to get back out. She does not bark and is not so nervous as many chihuahuas, and I think it's because she can release a lot of energy having outside access. She is solid black except for one white tiny spot. I can go on and on.....
sounds Like my peanut she is chi/peek-anies :) she will lay out on the porchmorning to night rain or shine , hot or cold I have to force her in when it is very cold she won;t wear her sweather , if i stay in bed so will she ,but as soon as i'm up she is out the door.
zoey's on here way over so u all have a great day bbl
DH's aunt and uncle had a chihuahua (Misty) that someone dropped off on their street. Opened their car door and tossed her out. She became so attached to DH's aunt and was always right by her on the sofa. I don't remember where she slept. After being around her, I've always wanted one. Maybe I'll still get one if I can find one that likes cats. :)
My mom had a chihuahua named Ginger, and my gma Sue had two of them named smokey and snowball ( u can guess their colors) some day I am going to have a teeny tiny something, as soon as I can figure out to get Joe passed the "no more pets" syndrome. ;)
It is all in, the basement is going to be awsome this year, so happy Joe said it can stay there all year round now..
Cville, what plant is that? Columnea?
looks like a lovely salvia. beautiful red color.
Yes, it's Pineapple sage (Salvia elegans). It definitely needs to be moved out of that planter box into a larger container or, better yet, the ground. Love it for the hummingbirds.
O course it is a sage! guess I just had my mind on houseplants!
Well, my starfish plant finally opened, 2nd picture. I also have my first moon flower bloom!
Nice going, LK. I love Moonflowers. Stapelias too. I've got some of the large buds on mine right now. It's still outside in a protected location, and I'm hoping to beat out the cold weather.
WOW, you have a bunch of buds! I showed the bloom to hubby this morning, and he said, WOW, that is creepy looking!
Not what most people are expecting from a "flower". :)
sure wish i could do house plants Just gets to dry or to hot, or to cold , mostly to much dust hard to keep up on it living on a dirt road .
well gotta get my day going here you all be well
looks great, LK,. and glad you got a moon flower!
LK oh that is so great. I love the weird blooms! So fun. Congratulations.
LK...gorgeous Moon Flower! Did you grow it from seed this year?
Yes. I grew it from seed, and I thought I would never see it bloom. It took a long to to flower!
Greetings from FL. Here's a pic and a poem I made!
Are those little gators? I don't see a poem?
Those little gators are very cute. Adults, not so cute.
I don't see the poem either but I'd sure like to. :)
what are you going to do with all those gaters when they get HUGE :(
Forgot to add the poem. Silly me.
The gators are in the 6 Mile Cypress Slough Preserve near Ft. Myers. I certainly ain't bringing none home. Just a-looking. They will survive and grow where i live in east central Alabama. One of y neighbors had a 10 footer get in his back yard pond. His wife told him it was the gator or her, so he got rid of it. I think it was on walkabout and ended (literally) up there.
6 mile Cypress Slough
A selection of gators,
sufficiently small
Could be thrown in a pot
and consume them all.
Be charmed by their cuteness
and one’s wide yawn.
When next you meet
upon the wide lawn,
Who eats who
is a question to ponder,
wait too long,
and the answer is gone.
Nice poem! Glad your not bringing one home!
Thanks for the prayers everyone, she made it through surgery just fine! Now it is time for healing!
Good news, Linda. I know you are relieved.
Love that poem, Crystal. Funny but oh so true. :-/ I wonder if the neighbor hesitated before he made his choice? Just kidding. I saw my first live gators in Florida when I was a child. We used to vacation there a lot. That was the days of the space race and we saw a couple of rocket launches at Cape Canaveral. Very cool. Now our astronauts have to hitch a ride with the Russians. :( Don't get me started on that.
It has finally stopped raining here ... at least until Monday. October, which is usually our driest month, has been very wet so far. We usually only get a couple of inches but they are expecting up to 5" before this current wave of storms is finished on Monday and more the end of the month.
Aster 'Raydon's Favorite' is blooming.
Good news, Elfie. Glad to have you back.
Welcome home Kris. Hope you had a good vacation.
welcome home Kris, glad you are back safe and sound.
Love the asters.
Thanks. Love all the shots of your basement, Debra. Our garage is a single car and it's stuffed. Can't get the car in it. I can barely get the rolling plant shelves in there anymore. I really am trying to eliminate some things. Really. :-)
Morning everyone! Love all your blooms ladies!
I would love the link Kris.
