Weird Weather of '09 #10

We came from here... http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/968477/

A beautiful day of sunshine to start a new room....maybe not so weird now for a change.

Beautiful tree Trisha.......hope you have a good day tomorrow. That's my plan to, go play in the sunshine. ^_^

I am looking forward to it.....don't have any other commitments for a change!!!

The cat and will like it too...she only gets out with supervision....she likes to bring in birds and squirrels if left unattended!!

My outside stray brings me a trophy now and again, but she can't get away with when she's with me. Sometimes I see her go into her crouch through the window, and I knock on the window, upsets her whole strategy. LOL

Nice job on starting the new thread Laura. Congrats!

today was a beautiful day outside. I forgot to put sunscreen on my ears and got sunburned...that figures. LOL.

Sally, I'm not sure what it is, but I just love foiling their bird hunting adventures. most anything else and I leave them to their adventures.

Just can't help myself, feel guilty for luring my birds to the feeders, then they have to put up with an attack cat. She's well fed and I don't bother her when she's after a mouse. LOL

I agree with that!

My internet was down due to drivers for a couple days, I resprained my ankle Friday night so didn't get on yesterday, right now I'm actually on my BIL computer. DH and him are doing their thing and I decided I'd jump on his computer and see if I could catch up.

yuck. sorry to hear about your ankle. that's no fun at all. i'm on the computer that i'm house sitting at. it's reasonably paced at everything except pictures. trying to attach a picture on one or these threads can easily take 20 min. I'm doing other things like taking a shower and laundry between pictures, it's that slow!

That sucks, I tried to use my Grandma's computer when I was dog sitting and just gave up, she knows she needs a new one, but went on a cruse instead of spending the money on one.

Sage's birthday is the 22nd, so we came up to Port Angels to see my MIL, BIL and his girlfriend. We're staying at BIL's house. Sage is with her mom on her birthday so she already open her presents from us, except from her grandma. We put up a collection and got her an Ipod, 10 people that would have got her something small. Other than that she just got some polymer clay and a fairy garden kit. I was so proud of her, she really understood how big a thing it was to get an Ipod and why she wasn't getting a lot of gifts this year.

sounds as if things are pretty busy for you right now... as per usual.

Yeah, I know how that new computer thing goes. Mine at home is going down... slowly, and I really need a new one. I keep saying: oh ... next paycheck, then a new bill and it's ohhh... hopefully next payday, etc. etc.

Sage sounds like a really good kid. I'm sure that she really like the Ipod. I know that I was always happier to get one gift that I really, really, wanted, than 10 of something that I didn't. She'll have a lot of fun with it.

I'm so happy I finally upgraded, I'll do without other things to keep this. Not the fastest, but way better than dial up.

Sounds like Sage is having a good birthday and glad she understands things are tough right now. Great idea to pool the resources. I remember when my GD got hers, it was used, but she was glad because it already had her favorite tunes. A friend of hers upgraded and her mom bought the other one.

What a good idea to pool resources and get Sage an ipod. I love mine - use it in a docking station at home and with a cord in my car. Rock on Sage!

I checked the red twig dogwood cuttings and they are getting little roots! I lost my little sticky with the names of those who want one - I have about 10 to give away. Dmail me with your info if interested.

Morning everyone! Wow, leave for the weekend and look what happens, a new thread!

Well, the weekend started off Fri a.m. in high style! Meet Bolt the new bull calf! Our DGS named him. Yes, we had a 100% bull calf crop this yr! WOOHOO!!! He was up and nursing 25 mins after birth, very healthy. We didn't have to worry about the cow calving while we were gone, thank heaven.

Now all of the GK's have named a calf.

I haven't read any of this thread but will later.

TTYL,

Susan105

Congratulations! Bolt is darling!

Thank you BeaHive!^_^

Beautiful guy, Susan. Takes me back to my youth!!

What a handsome creature Susan! Congrats!

Thank you!^_^

Susan...I think calves are so sweet.....we saw soooo many new babies on our bike ride yesterday!

I agree Trisha, it's that time of year!!!^_^

What a strong name for a bull!!

Usually the names fit!

Hey! Do you think these 2 are confused???!!! LOL!!! They're on top of my barn.

They're looking for a place to nest, don't think that's a good spot though!!! And I thought geese were intelligent. LOL!

What a cute guy Bolt the Bull is! How much does a newborn bull weigh?

Those geese must know that's a really nice barn!

I have a camellia in a big big pot on my front porch that gets early morning sun. The rest of the day it is shade. The outer petals on the blossoms are turning brown - is it too hot? Too cold?

If it's been blooming for awhile it could be just natural.

That makes me feel better. It's been blooming for about 6 weeks. The blossoms are so heavy!

Hi Judi, thank you! They all weighed around 90-100lbs.

I think they thought it was, but that's not a very good place for a nest! LOL!

gardener.... I think that those two are definitely confused! Bolt looks great!

gardener..love the geese. I bet the view is great up there!


Can't think of the name of this plant but it is loaded with blooms now.
It begins with a c and has a y in the name. Corydallis??

It was so pretty swaying in the breeze tonight. Made a ruffling sound very faintly.

Here is a close up of the blooms. The blue is also lovely!

Beautiful Corydalis Bea! Do you know which variety of corydalis it is?

Red.. will check in the morning to see if the tag is out there. Let ya know. :)
Well the memory was not to far off in the spelling... yeah me!

Susan, At least if the geese nest up there, you won't have to worry about stepping in the goose poop! Fledging might be a little tough for the small ones though..that first step is gonna be a doozy!

Judi, I agree with Willow that if the camelia has been blooming for a while, the brown is probably just natural. They fade that way, and then the petals will just start to fall off.

Beahive, when I grow those, I just call them slug food. Yours is glorious though! Very envious!

Slugs have not bothered this one so far. Last year it only had a few blooms..this year it is loaded. I think rinsing my pond flters in this area may have something to do with it. Fish poo is good fertilizer!! The hostas near this plant are the first to leaf up too this year!

Oh such pretty Corydalis - the shade of blue is amazing. What do you use to keep those nasty snails away?

red.. this corydalis is called China Blue. I have not seen the slugs feastingon this plant. If I do have slugs..I use sluggo. I try not to use much as I worry that the frogs will eat the slugs that have eaten the bait. I would imagine it is not good for froggies!

Found this nice surprise while taking pics this AM. I remember planting some..but forgot all about them until today. They did not surface last year!
