I really don’t know what colors they will be. They were bare roots. We’ll see what comes up. My Nana had a lot of 4 o’clock and as a kid, my cousin and I would collect the large seeds from the flowers. They have sentimental values to my childhood.@Frodo, I hope everything goes well with the surgeon.
Ooh, i love 4 o'clocks! mirabilis jalapa I think is the scientific name. I have mostly pink ones but a few yellow and very few white ones. I know there are other colors that I'd like to get eventually. What color ones did you plant?
Yeah we was a movin and a groovin.Y’all had a quake in Joisey!?
Just working, work tomorrow.
@winds-of-change love that you have that. Missing my flowers from back east…sweet Annie, violets and Johnny jump ups. I decided I’m just going to garden everything. Sun might kill it all by July. I have a lot of flower seeds but none from my mom’s or my own.
I’m not so good about maintaining my flowers after I plant them. I’m not able to get around easily or drag the hose with me as I waddle around. It gets unbearably hot here, too. So it’s mostly survival of the fittest in regard to my flowers. But I had total knee replacement last October and I’m doing a bit better.Y’all had a quake in Joisey!?

Ooh! You know I want to see pictures! LOL. Sounds very cool and I'm glad you found something you could work with from Offer Up.I'm getting my spare bedroom ready for my queen bed to King bed swap. I went to offer up and bought a king headboard, took it home and found out it was for an Eastern King bed, instead of my needed Cal King bed. Every inch matters in order to set it on a wall with adjoining nightstands, so I cut it down 8" to 73", which is perfect for a Cal King. This frame was probably 50 years old, based on the flathead screws and square nuts. Well, so far, so good with the cuts. Now, I just have to paint it to match the existing Ethan Allen furniture in the bedroom. Since I'm moving the bed to the long wall, I also have to remove the TV and place it on the opposite wall, which of course, means I need to snake down new power to hide the cords behind the TV. Then, I can patch and paint the room. What an exhausting chunk of work, just because of the Sleep Number bed that I got mama for her birthday present.
I love that they are so low maintenance. They will grow like weeds though. I still love them. I also have sentimental attachment to them. Two women who were like grandmothers to me grew them. The one who was like a mother to my mother grew pink and white ones in her yard. The other one who was like a mother to my dad (both families pretty much adopted us when we moved down here) grew yellow ones. I took seeds from the 4 o'clocks in both of their yards and planted them. I still have some seeds lying around. I used to have them labeled by color but the cats spilled them so they are all mixed together. As a kid I did an experiment with cross-pollinating the different colored flowers and came out with interesting results. white with pink stripes, pink with yellow stripes, yellow with pink stripes. Some came out almost orange but were clearly mixed color. The smell of them is really nice too.I really don’t know what colors they will be. They were bare roots. We’ll see what comes up.

I will see if I can locate her.One of the ladies (Sharon Williams) was a local cop near me, and now works on the Grand Canyon Train. Tell her hi if you see her.
Sounds like its been a great trip so far. Williams was a cool little town back in 2002. We enjoyed Hermits rest, had a fund day in that area.Drove South to Williams AZ.
Only about a 160 mile drive but the wind was howling all the way.
Constant speed of around 20 with gusts around 35.
White knuckle drive the whole way. Got snowed on but nothing serious.
Wind is still blowing and the temp is supposed to be 22 tonight.
Going on a train trip to the Grand Canyon on Sunday.
So far this cross country RV trip has been fun.
That is just plain criminal, a person should not pay co pay till the insurance pays and they should set it up on payments if you need to.Yesterday was my Dr appt
Symptoms still present
So the Dr wants to have another look to sere if the meds have helped or not
His plan is to scope me from both ends
They tried to schedule the test then the process stopped when they asked for co pays. I said nottoday
Just from some So Cal cop friend, Mark from Azusa. She moved to Williams, bought a chunk of land, and had a custom built house and barn. Besides needing to truck in water (shallowest well is 3500', so very pricey) but loves it there.I will see if I can locate her.
Who should I say said hi?
I like the irony . Muhahahahahah. (my evil laugh needs practice)So I just bought some winter rims with tires off a Prius , they are getting slightly modified, the center bore, and then they are going to get used for firewood equipment. I find it rather ironic and humourous and the price was right insert evil laugh here
Why am I now in the mood for some fettuccine alfredo?no goat kids
2 more cold nights
today more weather like yesterday but we are going to be home so ok. The problem with the cold if they have kids is that they can't dry them off fast enough if there are 3 or 4 so we have to help and make sure all babies nurse very shortly after birth. Then they are usually ok even if its cold. We had one give birth when it was 15 degrees outside and not too much warmer in the barn last year. Everyone made it ok, she had 3
I think today I am going to start cooking more freezer meals for husband when we are gone and for us when I really don't have time to cook. I did make some but son ate them all as snacks LOL
So far everything I made worked ok, except frozen broccoli in some fettucine alfredo didn't heat up well, it was still hard and cold and the rest of the meal was already very hot when reheated in the microwave. Maybe I need to cut them in smaller pieces or just not put any in
almost forgot, update on cutting Otto's nails: I have been giving him treats to let him touch his paws, and sort of cutting 1 nail a day, almost done. He is getting more tolerant on me touching his paws.
Uh, what is ironingDidn’t get as much done today as I would have liked to. Didn’t sleep well last night so took a nap about lunchtime. . Had to go to DMV and renew my license . Took hubby his lunch, stopped at the accountant and dropped off the last papers I had been waiting on, went to two different stores then came home for that nap. Finally finished the stack of ironing and cleaned the living room, bedroom, bathroom and began on the dining room- leaving the rest for tomorrow. Fixed what will be tomorrow’s lunch (hamburger cabbage soup) and am now sitting
I've NEVER heard of that!! Wonder what she's talking about???Uh, what is ironing
