They're all wonderful, but number 3 looks like a postcard (and I mean that in a good way). What better backdrop could you have!!

The paper will be fine. Some wood mulches can repels water though, especially if applied thinkly or allowed to crust on the top. Either paper or cardboard work well to prevent weeds. Karen

Wayne, I got the idea before I left for vacation, I was leaving it up to my brother to water my plants but he's not real reliable and I was worried about my watermelons. So I went to Menards looking for a soaker hose to drip faucet my melons and I stumbled upon the gelatin water bags. Their inexpensive about 1.69 for a small bag and the larger ones were 3.00 a bag. It really makes the difference in watering constantly. I've also changed my fertilizer to a 10 10 10 instead of the Miracle grow which has 24, 8, 16, it makes the differnce in the flowers and the growth of the watermelon. with the Miracle grow I was geting more vine than anything else but now I changed it to a 10, 10, 10, feed and seeing a greater difference in weight gain and flowers. I also heard if you want to grow really big cut off all other watermelon so the plant focuses all its energy on the one fruit. I really dont know if that is true or not but ask around. But I am seeing a difference in the flowers and fruit weight gain using the different fertilizer.

Stop the elk in New York!!
Q

Yeah, this will never happen. But, not for the reasons you think. The sort of land elk need is now protected. Not for the beneficial ecological / environmental purposes, they have been prioritized for mega solar companies. Albany has put a target on the backs of Hudson Valley areas like Greene & Ulster Counties, specifically to clear cut vital habitat, forests, meadows, farmland and so on to make room for industrial scale solar farms that render the earth, dead, useless at the end of their roughly 25 year life-span. That's the future of NY State as long as Albany law-makers have their way.

HELP.....water stain on big cross stitched picture
Q
Comments (1)
It will probably depend on what stained it. Was it the backing or the matting. You might have to take it to a dry cleaners to have the stain removed. Do NOT let them press it when it's done. You'll lose the "loft".

WOW!! Excellent photos and such beautiful country!!

I really like those type pictures, with wildlife and scenic views.

Reminds me of some years ago, I used to go deer/elk hunting in Colorado and we would see snow similar to that but not near that beautiful scenery.

Oh, and here's a little secret. I went hunting on many occassions, but never killed or even shot at a deer or elk. Don't tell my fellow hunters, but I went just for the beauty of the outdoors. The only shooting I did was with my camera and I always came home with countless photos.

Kt, your post reminds me of a guy in Minnesota who said he gave up the gun for a camera. He even sits in a blind to get good photos.
Here's a link to his pics, they are beautiful!

You're my kind of Guy!
Same here, I never really hunted, perhaps shot one or two ducks in my life time with my friend, it seems, when you get older and wiser, you get to appreciate nature more and hunting is done "only" with camera!

Joan...
Nice link!....some lovely pictures!!

>> but number 3 looks like a postcard

This is my favoured too....my wife shot that one. [ I couldn't with my tele lens]
I have one more I like. I was driving and stopped in front of those trees and said I like to have
