Pennies From Heaven, cl
Comments (5)It was one of these I got on the first of Mar last year. Most of those were about a foot tall, all the roses put out a foot of growth between Oct and Nov when it cooled off. This rose ended the season at 36"tall x 34"wide. It's very hot here too and this rose sailed through it without a problem. Unlike some of the other climbers this rose doesn't need as much water, it that helps too....See MoreFirst to Bloom - Pennies from Heaven
Comments (21)Thanks, Jean and Carol. Yes, I think iris and daylilies fit in well in rose beds. Even when not blooming, the foliage hides the roses' skinny legs! Some are concerned they will get too much nitrogen, but that hasn't been a big problem for me. And, Carol, since you are in the area, I got Different Flavors at a Dallas Iris Society sale. For your information, the next sales are on August 9 and September 6 at North Haven Gardens in Dallas. Also, this Sunday is their Iris Show. It is at the Pavillion Bldg. on the Texas A&M campus in Dallas. The address is 17360 Coit Road at McCallum and it is open to the public from 1:00 to 4:00....See MorePennies from Heaven
Comments (2)I can't remember the last time I found a penny until my Mom passed away in May. Since then I've found about 15 of them. I'm collecting them in a glass box on my dresser. Other folks I've talked to about this think I'm nuts. It's nice to hear that others are experiencing this. Thanks for sharing everyone... Have a wonderful week!

Comments (14)If you have the ones minted before about 1994, they're almost pure bronze (mostly copper) and worth more than a penny in today's market ... but the ones minted after that are steel with a thin coating of bronze ... so not worth much. On a nation-wide phone-in on Sunday afternoon on our national radio, someone on the prairies said that he'd been making money on his for years: when he needed a washer for small bolt, he just drilled a hole in a penny, as a real washer cost 3 cents! Actually ... I think that it was illegal to interfere like that with government property (and end up stealing it). Currency is only available to us on loan: it ain't ours! If the total of purchases, plus tax, comes to anything at or under e.g. $1.02, it's rounded down to $1.00. At $1.03 and above, it's usually to be rounded up to $1.05. One smart-ass went on a website where they were discussing it to suggest that one deposit $0.03 into one's bank account - that they'd have to round it up to $0.05, so he'd gain 40% ... and I objected, saying that a 2 cent return on a base of 3 cents ... was an increase of 66% ... and that after not having to wait for a year. But... sorry - dealing with the electronic side of things, the rounding-up and rounding-down aren't operational, as the exact amounts can be shown: it's only the physical situation where it applies. So - some are saying that there'll be an increased use of credit (read "debt") cards when making purchases. ole joyful...See MoreNell Jean
