it's happened again!!!

17 years ago

Hi, I think most of you have seen the photo of the fountain in our pond in the backyard, the fountain turned into a heartshape 2 days after my daughters funeral, my daughter loved hearts, she would sign cards and letters with a heart.

Anyway this last tuesday afternoon the 29th of august my husband turned of the fountain to feed the fish, he does this all the time, but this time it was different, the weeds turned into a heartshape, this time the fountain was off, he called me to come outside, and I was in awe of what I saw, I raced inside to get my camera and took this picture, I think she is trying to tell us she's ok, because we just struggle so much with her passing, at times I want to be with her so much.

My husband comforts me and we see a griefcounselor, but I cannot seem to get out of that intense grief, I am still thinking she is coming home, I know I'm thinking unrealistic but I can't seem to get my way out of that, I think I may have to go back on antidepressants again, I have been on them for 11 years, and stopped finally last december, I felt fine without them, and then my daughter died, now I feel I cannot cope again, I know I am person who gets depressed, I know I need help, I was hoping I would never have to be on them again, but maybe I don't have to be on them for so long this time.

Anyway here is the photo from tuesday,

Martha

WOW that is truly amazing. I saw your last photo also. SOrry to hear about the anti-depressants. My dad passed in Nov. 2005 suddenly and now my mom is turning into a zombie. The doc gave her pills too. She said they make her feel sluggish. I think your daughter is still sending love to you the only way she knows you will believe its from her. I hear songs now and then my dad use to like and I know thats him telling us hes ok. I dont know what goes on in the afterlife, but I do believe they are surrounded by complete love and happiness. God will walk ahead of you and then hold your hand to help you through the hard times. I am sure your daughter would not want you to be unhappy, thats why you keep seeing hearts. She probably wants you to still remember all the good memories and leave go of all the pain. I hope that helps you sheebah. I'll send prayers your way. Someone told me once that people are born to have a purpose and that sometimes they only need a few years to accomplish that purpose, and for some of us it takes alot longer to do. I know we will all be together again someday.

Our church has a food pantry that gardeners take their extra produce to give to needy families and they are really happy to get it but some others won't take it. You will have to check with yours and see. I wish I had some. A friend gave me a bag last week and I was so excited to get it but even though it was small it was all hard as a rock. I think she was picking it for a couple of weeks and putting it all in the same bag in the fridge before she have it to me,lol. I was able to pick through it and get a good mess out of it but it made me sick that I had to throw away so much of it. I told her next time she gets a lot let me know and I'll come over and pic it myself and put a bunch up in the freezer. I use it in my chicken and sausage gumbo all the time and like it whole in some peas and beans. I made an excellent dish the other day with it by flower and browing cubed pork chops and sauteed onion pepper and garlic added a can of tomatoe paste and let it all cook down into a gravy then added the okra at the end. It was really good.

I think you have the "decorating gods" on your side when it comes to finding these deals, as they should be. You are using your gift to preserve and promote a classic decorating style that people without unlimited budgets can aspire to. Thanks for sharing your find! Can't wait to see pics of it w/ the sofa.

Ficus losing new leaves (Al any other ideas?)
Q
Comments (57)
This is typically what I post for neem application directions: Neem Oil Insecticide 1 pint very hot water 1 pint rubbing alcohol or ethanol 1 tsp pure, cold-pressed neem oil 1/2 tsp Castile Peppermint Soap, Murphy’s Oil Soap, or insecticidal soap In a 1 qt spritzer, mix the neem with the soap & hot water. Shake vigorously. Add the alcohol & shake again. Shake regularly/vigorously to keep the mixture emulsified as you spritz the plant, making sure as you spritz you’re covering all the vegetative surfaces, especially the underside of leaves and leaf/branch crotches. Use all the mix same day or discard. Use only pure, cold-pressed neem oil, such as that packaged by Dyna-Gro. Methods of oil extraction other than cold pressing limit the effectiveness of the active ingredient in neem oil – azadiractin. Al

Acacia Baileyana (Wattle Tree) dry and losing it's leaves
Q

Definitely not a tree I'd be trying to grow in a pot. They just want to grow too big, too fast. They need very good drainage, and withstand droughts well, so yes, I'd be cautious about over-watering it. And like most Oz natives, very susceptible to death by phosphorous if you're fertilising it. I've never met an Acacia that liked being fertilised at all, and I've grown dozens of different species over decades. Yours appears to be dying/dead. A. baileyana (Cootamundra Wattle) is also a known environmental thug of native bushland, so if you must grow a wattle in a pot, why not choose a smaller species? I'd highly recommend A. cognata in your situation, but as there are more than 1000 species, a trip to a nursery with a good selection might be a good idea... Acacia cognata in pot
