Hi Larrisa, You wrote, "... the leaves of many of my orchids were getting very warm in the direct sun." Question: Do you have adequate air movement to cool your plants' leaves? I live further south than NJ and didn't have that issue today. The skies were clear here. --Stitz--

Wow, Renee, this is so pretty! Gorgeous full bushes and very nice color combo. It also looks very tidy - my roses are chocked by weeds. Marina

1.Made pumpkin bread to satisfy a craving 2.Didn't know what to make for dinner so I decided to make it a game. I had to make the first thing I pulled out of the freezer ( boneless pork chops) and make the first recipe in my book (of tried and true) that I found using pork -szechuan pork! 3. DD(19) wanted to come with me when I pick ed up DS(13) from school today. We got to wait in the car and chat-it was a nice day with even a breeze!

Anglo - you would love this place. They have a vintage room with all kinds of frames from days gone by. I love the extreme cat eye frames from the 60s but I'm not bold enough to go for those. I have a friend who has them and they look great on her. i have had that same experience where they all look the same. In fact my last two pairs were way too similar. I decided now that I'm 60 I'll splurge and get just what I want which is why I went to this place.
