Pam they are outdoors. I only took it in for the picture. Was to lazy to get the camera and go back outside right away lol Shirley I KNOW. I will see which ones will make it through the winter and next summer. Then I can let you know or even share a cutting?! Lucy

No way with a Great Dane in the house...LOL! I do remember a story I think I've told y'all many years ago about our Poodle we had back in the 70's. She loved to sleep in piles of laundry down in the basement laundry room. One day when us older kids were suppose to start the wash before Mom came home from work we couldn't find the dog. This was after the divorce so we were latch key kids a long time ago. Anyway, we couldn't find the damn dog and were freaking out... no we didn't do our chores that day...Mom comes home...goes to the basement to check on the wash we were suppose to start and she finds the dog tangled up in a bunch of bras under a pile of dirty clothes...LOL!! We still talk about that one to this day. Sue, I had visions of one of my cats that use to love to lay on the ramp to boat dock up at my old place on the lake more than once.....it was just a flash but very real to me.. David

MaryAnn - If you're still looking for fun stuff for your office buddies, GardenGirl posted a link (here at Crafts Forum) to a cute little MarthaStewart votive candle cover. You could also use that as a tiny trick-or-treat container. I found this other MS link that has 6 labels for Hallowe'en candy... whatever candy you want. Just put it in a little bag (or jar) and add one of these funny labels. Here is a link that might be useful: MS's Candy Jar Labels (pdf file)

NewDawn: Thanks -- the oil paintings are my favorites here too (apart from the DH and the cats .....well ..... maybe the cats ..... Just teasing! LOL!) ttodd -- Just can't tell you how thrilled I am with all of the very, very kind responses to the photos of my home .... honestly .... I am overwelmed! :) Artworks???? -- This is my secret --- my DH carries them around until my "TRY IT OVER THERE" attitude wears him out -- and we finally just hang the darn things up! And adjust them as needs come up .....THEN I change my mind .... and end up switching them around in the house. ((add glass of wine ....)) I keep my own hammer and supplies in a handy drawer in the kitchen ..... I'd LOVE to help you out! Jan
