It makes all the difference you know?? Rest well. I need to go again. Time to jump in the shower. My cousin & I are going to visit my Niece & her new baby this afternoon. I have been but my cousin has not. and seeing a baby can't be bad so I am going again. _________________________ ..............................

Tina Tina Webkinz Queen Garden Helper Registered: 11/12/05 Posts: 22745 Loc: So. Cal.	I did not want to take a day off. I wanted to get some energy and get some work done outside. I barely got out into the warmth and sunshine at all today. _________________________ ~Tina Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 23996 Loc: Worden, Illinois	Originally Posted By: tamara Ya but you got to play with a baby well actually I played with Bridget the "big sister" who is 18 months old. Since I got to hold the baby last week I let Marcia have the honors today, while I played with Bridget. But yes I DID have fun And Tina, perhaps todays rest is wha your body needed, and tomorrow you will feel all new & ready to attack the outdoor work. I believe we should all listen to our bodies when they "talk". _________________________ .............................. Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!!

tamara tamara Northern Star Garden Helper Registered: 06/04/03 Posts: 22167 Loc: NB Canada	Good morning, the sun is shining and today is a brand new day. I was discouraged yesterday but today I feel better, DH told me to look into what it would take for us to build a little greenhouse. Something cheap but efficient. _________________________ ~Waiting on our first grandbaby August 9/2010~

Tina Tina Webkinz Queen Garden Helper Registered: 11/12/05 Posts: 22745 Loc: So. Cal.	I had plans. My laundry is going well. I shopped for a couple of necessities. I planned on going outside to work but my enthusiasm is waning. I at least need to bring in wood. The sky is lowering and it is actually getting cooler instead of warmer. It won't reach yesterday's high of 64*. _________________________ ~Tina Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)

tamara tamara Northern Star Garden Helper Registered: 06/04/03 Posts: 22167 Loc: NB Canada	Originally Posted By: Tina That is awesome. You need one with heating there right? Yup, that's the problem...I've wanted to make one forever but discourage myself when I think of how much it'll cost. Last night I discouraged myself again on the idea I just can't see spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars for a small greenhouse. I might try comeup with a plan for mini domes...I need it only for tomatoes and peppers. Good morning everyone, coffee is on and bacon is frying...I'm slow going this morning. _________________________ ~Waiting on our first grandbaby August 9/2010~

Tina Tina Webkinz Queen Garden Helper Registered: 11/12/05 Posts: 22745 Loc: So. Cal.	I live on a hillside. A neighbor put up a jaccuzzi and put a 3x3 ft solar panel downhill of it with pipes running to and from the jaccuzzi. He got a siphon effect on the water and it began. Cold sinks and heat rises. So the cold water ran down and heated through the pipes under the collector panel and then, heated, they ran back up to the jacuzzi. If he didn't stay on top of the on/off thing the water in there would reach nearly boiling. But that could be controlled with a fairly simple thermostat gizmo. I have been interested in solar heating and cooling for greenhouses ever since. I also don't like to use power for anything and pay those bills. My problem with a greenhouse here is wind. They just can't withstand what we get whistling through our canyon (50+ mph today). If you grow a strong enough windbreak then you defeat the sunshine thing you are trying to harness for your plants and for the heat. I would love a greenhouse mostly to protect from that same wind. A conundrum. _________________________ ~Tina Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)
