Oh the weather is just delightful!

11 years ago

With the sun shining, birds chirping, windows open and high in the low 80's.

Time to get outside and enjoy this beautiful day while it lasts.

Friend and I are going to SAWS for soul food, today. Know we'll have to stand in line outside cause it's a little hole in the wall.

Enjoy your day!

It's good laundry weather here in OKC. Got one load on the line, and the second just about ready to go out.

I advise giving it the royal treatment this year and see if it doesn't noticeably improve next year--it third year. Third year (or older) plants often outgrow some of their earlier "problems." As Buford suggested, give it a good afalfa feed (pellet, meal, or "tea")now and in about another month. I'd add that you should combine that with an organic feed like RoseTone (monthly until mid-August), and water it a lot. After a season of that, it should be a much improved plant by next year. Oh yes--you do have it in at least 6 hours of sun, don't you? It likes sun. And keep it healthy by spraying Bayer Advanced Garden Disease Control for Roses and Flowers, as suggested above. Good luck.

WONDERFUL!!! You all just make my day so light hearted and joyous. Down right funny and Rick that is a fantastic poem. Poor Ellie, please, be sure to stay away from my Chaste Tree (Vitex). I bet it had thousands of bumble bees on it yesterday. I tried to get a photo, but the bees move so darn fast that my poor camera just couldn't do it justice. You could actually hear the BUZZZZZZZ before I got within ten feet of the tree. Well, maybe I will post a photo of the tree. It's been so pretty. Blessings, Mona

Thank you for all the comments :) The Poppy/Lupine/Iris combination actually came about by accident several years ago. But I really loved the way it looked when I saw it in the Spring ... when the dogs happened to kill both the original poppy and lupine, I planted new ones. The original lupine was pink, and the original poppy was pale ... but I actually think I like this combination better, with the darker purple and the pink poppy against the yellow irises. Ianna - I also love the way Lupines look with Peonies ... I have that combination in another area of the garden, which should start blooming and looking pretty in several days. I've never thought of adding an Iris or Poppy by the Peonies, but that's an interesting idea too. I'd love to see photos of yours :) OgRose - I'm planning to start expanding my Iris collection too, this year. Irises and Lillies ... I want more :) Once you see them blooming, its hard not to!

Staying home, 3-4 inches of snow and icy roads. Home is good!! Alberta clipper expected tomarrow, so we will see. Guess winter is here, for awhile.

Seems to early for winter, doesn't it? It's going up to 81 today and the next 5 look just as nice. Doors and windows opened and enjoying the beautiful day by doing laundry. LOL!

En route home from the library last night, car said, "Ice possible" and 1 degree Celsius (about 33.5 F.) - and it was snowing.

Tomatoes were covered.

Over half of them have been touched by frost ... or the teeth of some of the critters. Some have small holes that leads to a substantial cavity, and I've been wondering what is responsible. T'other day I saw one with a little hole in it ... with a small bit of some light coloured, rather flat thing, sticking out. Tried to give it a pull - it was resistant, so got a fingernail pushing against another finger to give a more hefty pull ... and out slid a snail! I've seen a few on or near some tomatoes.

Picking some more green tomatoes later this aft.
