I still have coneflowers and blanket flowers in bloom, but I noticed some still have butterfly weed in bloom and ours have been gone a long time. I do have some red yarrow still blooming, but my yellow and white died out last year and I haven't replaced it yet. I am beginning to cut back some of my dead looking perennials. My hostas took a beating from the heat and yellowed badly. I have daylilies to split and transplant and many other things that are too large. I know you surely have a variety

Just heard on radio to eat a couple of pieces of dark chocolate before you go out in the morning to drive. The cocoa has something in it that makes the blood flow to your eyes better and then you can see/focus better. Thus, beneficial if you are driving a vehicle. Just thought I'd pass this on to all!

Hello to all! Here it is sunny and headed for low 80's, chance of shower. Going to do a bit more outside this morning before it gets too warm. MtnBabe, believe Jw2(Idaho) is working a new job in Mn., buying a house so entangled in the paperwork of that, and enrolling her kids in public school. That is why she hasn't visited much, I am sure. She is a busy gal! Love the Lavatera plant and the color. Also, the fields of sunflowers always a nice view. Used to have some on a Pennsylvania road

Hello this morning. We have bright sunshine and a high to be low 80's. Could have scattered shower, maybe. I am going to work this morning on some of my cutting back and dumping what I already have a lawncart full. Need to find some boxes around here, too. DH is off to dropping off my bag at the church shed for donating clothing. Then he is headed to get me some peanuts for the birds (bulk bag of them) at TOPS store. I started unloading the dishwasher so need to finish that job. Need to get myself

A quick hello to all! Rosalita, I can remember one summer when my grandmother was canning corn and her daughter came down from the city to help her. The school in that area let my grandmother use the large stainless steel kitchen to can her corn that year. I don't know if my grandmother had to pay anything to use it or if it was just a nice gesture on the school's part because she was a taxpayer in the school district. Now that was back in the late 40's I'd say. The school was a new

Hi for a bit! I am about done for today!!!! I didn't do a lot but did get the rest of the lilies in one corner of the back flower bed cut back and the area raked up a bit, pulled some weeds and ended up with a lawn cart full of debris to put in the box on the haul away pile under the spruce trees in my next yard. I will do some more on the dead stuff every day it is nice; it will get done eventually. I did water my tomato plants, too, on the table on the patio. Read the paper and went through

We have reservation an hour from us where the Seneca Indians have a casino and are adding another larger hotel there. They have had good business there since it was all built. My grandfather's parents were full blooded Indians, but not sure of tribe. Think it may have been a combined tribe, and many Indian artifacts are still being found in the area he was from I recently read in the newspaper. So I am part Indian myself. My father and grandfather had the facial features and ruddy skin of Indian

Thanks Molly and Charlene for answering my post re: Ann. I don't do Facebook either. I do drop by Backyard Projects now and then on these forums and some nice landscaping pictures there that people have done to their property. Enjoy seeing those. I enjoy seeing what projects are in progress. You gardeners would enjoy seeing that post.
