We think Typo turned one year old either this week or last. He's had a great year. Sadie seems to be his favorite sibling. He and Ozzie are still at odds. His favorite perch is at the top of DH recliner, where he can look outside. Another favorite spot is under the daylillies. He likes to jump out and grab your ankles as you walk by.

Ac turns off after prolonged use and won't turn back on.

You may be able to do some quick fixes by yourself. This could have to do with improperly cleaned coils, clogged air filter or anything that causes your air conditioner to overheat. Yes, you may still need a pro but we had the same problem and got ours to start running again by following some simple steps. See link below. If that doesn't work, ask again because I know some professional steps you can take. Also, VERY IMPORTANT. Turn off the power to your air conditioner before using any metal tools to mess with it. You can do that at your circuit breaker, as long as you know which one has power to your air conditioner. Here is a link that might be useful: Air conditioner won't work

Brag! brag! Last week, I finally turned off the furnace. Had it off for 4 days and then our nights began to get too cold and it was turned back on. For this week, the forecast is for night temps 43-50 F and peak day temps of 65 F. Tomorrow is the opener baseball game in town. It should be comfortable for the fans since we finally got the covered ball park roof working. One year in the near past before the retractable roof was built, we have snowed out the opener.

Aspidistra (Cast Iron plant) leaves turning yellow one by one
Q
Comments (24)
I am delighted to announce that both the original aspidistra plant and the offshoot I planted in a different pot are exhibiting new growth. For the record, I put them in a north facing window where they receive light but not direct light, give them one cup of water every 12-13 days, and left them alone. It seems July is the growing season for these plants, because it is also around this time last year that they put out new leaves. As for your yellowing Sans2014, I'm not sure what's causing it but I did find a pretty good site here where they may answer your question: http://www.ourhouseplants.com/plants/aspidistra From reading that site, it seems your problem could be caused by too cold temps (unlikely in July), too frequent repotting, or most likely overwatering. I water mine every 12-13 days and this is in July in Las Vegas, where temps in my apartment can reach 90 if i turn the A/C off before going to work. If you leave in a cooler climate, I wouldn't water it more than every two weeks, maybe even less.

Another zero-turn mishap (this one's for you, Ken...)

I have a story to tell you. Many years ago, I worked as a consultant for the green industry….horticultural, arboricultural, nursery, and golf course….in the Hilton Head and Lowcountry areas. I was called to one of the hospitals in Hilton Head where the newly planted trees were dying. It was a beautiful campus; management had spent a few million on new landscaping and were distressed to see these expensive trees dying within a few months of installation. The management people were preparing to sue the landscaping company that had purchased and planted these beautiful trees. I was called in to support the management’s side of this case. BUT, it didn’t work out that way. It took me about fifteen minutes to see that the trees were all girdled by mowers and weedeaters; a look at the security camera footage verified it. The hospital’s own maintenance staff were totally at fault. I looked at the soil, planting practices, root systems, and anything else I could think of just to make sure I covered all the bases. I added this story just out of public interest, not saying anything else. 🙂

He looks like he's wearing eyeliner in the second picture! I'm so happy you were able to rehabilitate him - I wish I had one like him myself.

Love to see your pics of Typo Doris!

Too bad that he and Ozzie haven't made their peace though. I thought they'd be best pals by now. Although maybe next winter; I've had two cats who couldn't stand each other cuddle up and sleep together on cold evenings.

I was just thinking about him the other day and meant to ask. This was the cat you weren't going to keep... right. :)

What a very lucky kitty to find you!! And how lucky for you you decided to keep him.
Now, Ozzie? That's another point of view!

I just burst out laughing and can't stop...I didn't know what species that was from the photo! I swear I have tears streaming down my face I'm laughing so hard at my surprise! I have the giggles and can't stop. I'm afraid to go back and look again.

You must be the kindest person, Doris, to adopt that.

Okay, I settled down and looked at the swan he has become. Must be all the love you gave him.
