King Alfred Daffodils: some bloom, some just foliage
Q
Comments (5)
All of them bought from Lowes, all huge King Alfred Daffodil bulbs, bought and planted the past 3 years, always bought and planted in November. What's making me wonder about nutrition in the soil is it's my understanding when I buy them (in Nov.) they already are pretty much pre-determined what they're going to do in spring since all nutrients they took in before they went dormant. What patten I think I'm seeing is the bulbs that are 2-3 years old are the ones whereby some of them bloom and some don't. Regarding shade, I planted a whole bunch in the most shaded area on my property, more shaded than anywhere else I've ever planted them, planted them Nov. 2008 and they're blooming like crazy right now whereas some that were planted 2-3 years ago in full sun are not blooming although the foliage is tall and healthy looking. The only thing I can figure is the soil doesn't have a lot of nutrients in it and the 2-3 year old planted bulbs didn't get enough nutrition in their growing season(s) to form flowers the next year. That's my only theory but am curious opinions. I'm considering in the fall digging up the ones that didn't bloom this spring and add compost to the soil to try and juice up the soil. Open to opinions, thanks!

If you were getting a lake house, which one would it be??

Other than the landfill being a possible issue, it sounds like option #2 is the best. #1 is based on "what ifs" like, "what if we suddenly change our likes and want more noise and action?" "What if people suddenly start to visit us?" People quote Magnaverde as saying something about decorating for the life you have NOW. I think this applies. I remember going to my friend's cabin on a lake when I was young. It was very simple, small lake, one canoe, one small motorboat . . .nothing fancy. I LOVED it, loved the peace and quiet, listening to the loons, the feeling that a little place in the world was just yours and yours alone. I don't think you need to attract kids with noise and flash-- there's enough of that in everyday life. And besides, it's too hard to count on anyone visiting ever-- it's better just to live for your life as it is. #3 is just too risky. What if you sink money into the place, and all of a sudden the owner dies and leaves it to someone else? My mom's neighbor . . .I can't tell you how many times she's changed her will regarding who she is leaving her house to (no children or family left). The latest is that she wants her personal assistant and his family to move in, and she'll will the house to him. Why? Because then he'll take care of her cats when she dies. It's the only reason-- her cats.

House falling into lake (Tx)

Why would they have had an inspector and a geologist check out the property prior to purchase? If the cliff was 80 feet from the house initially, why even consider a geologist? Who'd consider that initially? Maybe if they started to get cracks in the walls, but not pre-purchase. I've heard of just far too many landslide issues where the owners never had that inspection done prior to purchase. The news reports in the link said the owner just walked up to the house and made an offer on the place. Also said that the insurance co denied the land movement claim so they were going to make another claim based on fire damage. Oh yeah, like THAT claim would be paid!

Some real neat photos. Just a thought though, something in the foreground would add depth, especially in #3. Were these the way they came out of the camera or after Adobe? Either way, they are good shots. The reflections in the rippled water add life to a serene subject.

Thanks, Linda...please do post yours, I'm still learning a great deal on this camera, I think maybe the time of day had alot to with the way they came out...
and 'Thank you', Kt!
And thank you GTF...I don't have adobe...but I did use Vivid in picture control on my camera, before taking photos and did little basic editing after downloading. I think the vivid really helped alot for the fall colors!

Very pretty, Juanita!

I love trees reflecting in the water.
Here, the leafs are mostly gone now, some weeks ago when traveling up northern Alberta, near Fort Mc Murray, took some shots in a resting area.

I think I could use that resting area at times. A beauty for sure. That cloud reflecting in #1 adds.

Those are all beautiful fall shots. My favorite time of year. My mother used to sing a song to me when I was little. These remind me of it.
Come little leaves said the wind one day.
Come over the meadow with me and play.
Put on your dresses of red and gold.
Summer is gone and the days grow cold.
Soon the little leaves heard the winds loud call
Down they come fluttering one and all.
Over the brown fields they danced and flew
Singing this gay little song they knew.
Winter is coming yo ho,yo ho winter is coming
with ice and snow.
Soon fast asleep in their earthly beds
The snow laid a white blanket over their heads.
