It sure did! I am so delighted to "see" you after all this time in trading and correspondence, Birgit.

What do you look like? ( Second Edition )
Hi Zoomer!
You can have some of it if you wish, it
stays in a bun most of the time.
I recently trimmed it back, as it was at 60",
not condusive to gardening. LOL
This is my first try at posting a picture, so nobody laugh, at me or my pc skills--lol
Sandra
sixty inches, Wuvie?? I'm only 6 inches taller than your hair was! By most standards, zoomer & I have long hair (hers looks about waist length too), but you make me realize I have no concept of what long hair really is! LOL
Sandra
You are gorgeouse ...I always read your threads. Thanks for the photo.
Kaleem
Long time no see gumlla!
Hello Everyone:
I'm fairly new to Dave's Garden and just wanted to join in on the photos. This was me last spring after a day of planting. Anyone interested in the flowering tree behind me, it's a Radiant Flowering Crabapple. They put on a nice show but probably best if kept away from sidewalks and house as they can be somewhat messy. But definately worth the show.
Welcome to Daves, Richard! Hope you enjoy it here. Your tree is wonderful, I love the color.
Donna
Nice meeting you, Sandra and Rich!
Terrie
Gumlla is here.
Hi Kaleem!
Hello
Actually I started a new job so very busy there. Hydle power station.Here is a photo.
That is beautiful! What do you do there?
Thank you Gumlla, your photo is very nice also. I haven't posted alot through the winter, but I am going to do better. How is the weather there now?
Thanks for the welcome Terrie.

I am control room engineer, my duty is to start and stop the Turbines/Generators and all the trouble shooting related with machines.
Sandra
Weather is cold now , minimum temperature is 32 F and max. 45 F. Thanks for the comments.
Kaleem
Congratulations for your new job, Kaleem!!!! Can you please tell me your current temperatures in Celsius degrees?
Isn't that interesting. I would have never guessed Pakistan ever got cold. It's about the same temperature as it is here right now. Who knew? Love that photo, Kaleem.
Oh, silly, silly Gumlla - that sounds pretty warm to me right now! It was -3F when I left the house this morning. It is supposed to get down to -12F tonight! I am thinking it will be VERY cold in NYC tonight. All of those tall buildings create wind tunnels.
Your power station looks very impressive. It sounds like alot of responsibility! Congratulations on the new job!
And how are the kitties?
Ursula
Minimum Zero Celsius and maximum Ten Celsius.

Thank you. My kitties are fine they are big now. Very naughty. One thing more they are thr great enemy of my plants ...same like Kim my blood pressure is also high some times when they destroy my plants. But I can't do any thing.
kaleem
Kaleem, there is something you can do about your kitties: just love them! (a bit more than plants, LOL)

I would have thought it would be more a summertime year round there too, I can't seem to remember much of my geography anyway, I do good to remember my name some days--lol
Sandra
Lol Kaleem, did you read about Kim's latest mishap with kittens, kids and plants, over in seed trading?
Kaleem....try giving them their "own" plant.....my cat leaves my plants alone as long as I grow "kitty grass" in a pot next to the window for her. She does the mowing herself! And the best thing is that she KNOWS it's her very own plant....even gets between me and the pot when I try to water it for her. Kitty grass can be purchased at garden centers, online, or if you're lazy like me, just get a box of Perennial Rye grass seed and make a pot for her every now and then. One note....use a low, wide and heavy pot or they will tip it over when they "mow". Oh, and keep them away from it long enough for the grass to esetablish decent roots or they will just pull the blades right out of the soil. Good luck! K
Edited...you're right Capt...sorry about the rabbit trail everyone!....I should have probably private emailed that, but felt maybe it would be helpful to others. :~)

That's so cute that she guards it!
Really off topic here, but do they have pet grasses for pups?
Micha
Oh no.......I missed that thread. What happened there? both are fine I mean plants and Kim.........
Kachinagirl
Thanks for the sugestions, my big size pots are already their rest rooms....will you believe those pots are best for their sun bath.
Kaleem
Oh, great kachinagirl...now you tell me! "Oh, and keep them away from it long enough for the grass to esetablish decent roots or they will just pull the blades right out of the soil." LOL! My babies have been ripping it out by the roots...oh, well! At least it's been keeping them out of the other plants! Ha, ha!
Capt - my PekeBoo will chew on it when it's established, but it's been hard for me to get it along that far with 3 kitties munching away on it.
Yes, Bill - still off topic. But can you tell we're enjoying your thread??? ~:-)))
Oops, sorry Sequee! I asked DH to bring home a hunk of sod (he's a project manager for a landscape co). I'm going to put a piece of sod in the pot and see if that works....at least it would be evergreen, where the perennial rye poops out after a while.
As far as grass for dogs, Capt, I don't know. I always thought dogs ate grass to induce vomiting when they felt yucky. I was told dogs are carnivores, and cats are omnivores...and actually eat veggies like we do. ??? I guess we'll have to ask our vets!
Yup...still rabbit-trailing! Sorry Bill! We'll get back on track~ :~D
(maybe we should start a cat grass thread...so many of us have cats)
Ok...just one more thing, then I'll shut up. I asked my vet why my dog eats grass and he told me, "Probably because he likes it!" Gotta love that guy!
Our vet kissses out pets when we take them in....too cute!
Sequee
Bill will kill us.............lol ~ lol ~ lol
kaleem
I guess we need to find more photos! I know I took some over Thanksgiving, but I can't find them!
Bringing up this thread again. Here is the most recent picture of me with my DH in Mexico last week.

VERY handsome couple!
Thanks! Glad hubby was the goofy one with the hat. (grins)
Is this Maxican hat? You both are looking gorgeous.
Kaleem
Why thank you, Kaleem. (blushing here)
Yes, that is a Mexican hat. He didn't want to put it on but the photographer insisted. LOL
Terrie
You two make a great looking couple!!!
Next time you'll have to invite all of us along!!
Judy
Thanks, Judy! What a hoot that would be! Can you imagine all of us coming back through customs at the same time? Our bags would probably all be loaded down with seeds of some of those rare tropicals. (grins)
ha ha ha ha
Cool. I'm having a darn good time on DG.
