I have used one of those month at a glance office organizers for years. I buy a new one each year. Every sunday afternoon I take a 10-15 minutes walk around the garden and write down bed by bed what is in bloom or otherwise making itself attractive. I do not note when it emerged, who it is taking to the prom or any other irrelevant data. I note combinations if they strike me. I will also note when I planted something. Short like: planted alstromeria in driveway bed. The back of the office organizer has a note section for things I intend to do in the fall or next spring. Like plant more blah blahs in the driveway bed next to the alstromeria. In the winter I have a bed by bed week by week list of what was of interest. (Except for August when I hate my garden and do not go out in it.) By making the sunday ritual simple and unambitious, I can keep up with it. This year to ensure I knew where the tulips were in the fall, I supplemented this notebook with short 1 minute videos of the major beds that I took with my digital camera in video mode. Again simple video walking down the bed verbally noting that the tulips were right next to the tree peony half way to the dogwood. Boring video one minute. But next fall I'll have the time to watch it before I add more blah blahs. KISS

I am glad the Butterfly escaped.... I helped a Monarch get free from an Argiope web yesterday (her web is a bit high for my taste)...interestingly enough, the spider wasn't paying any interest in the B-fly....guess they prefer the grasshoppers which is just fine with me :0) I may have to move her if it happens again...

Make sure some buttons aren't stuck in on the remote control.

Teresa, Understand that the code is for the remote, not the TV. So once you program the remote it should work regardless of how the TV is set. Another option might be one of the Harmony remotes where you program it from your computer. Basically you connect the remote to your computer via a USB cable, go to a website, input you TV, and it takes care of getting it programmed correctly.
