I planted those zinnia seeds in your yard through telepathy!
Coming up in weird places? I have some beautiful ones growing in 6 inches of hard packed gravel!

Here's the ultrasound photo of my unborn alien/frog child.

ROFL


Looks just like his/hers/its Daddy!

Ahhh...my pond's lookin' so good!
Bought 4 little goldfish to put in it, but I should have bought 24! I can't ever see them! They go behind the rocks and hide all the time. Brennan got his little fishing pole out as soon as we got home today to try to catch one!

Raked more leaves (yes, it's fall already!) and gathered more zinnia and morning glory seeds, and some redbud seeds from my tree.

And, made friends with a few more skunks! I love those little critters!

We purposely leave food out for the "critters and love watching them.

I collected seeds today and I planted 2 yuccas,moved some canna lillies,planted Cindys butterfly bush, cleaned out my veggie beds(2nd season starting), moved my spicebush and planted some "mystery" plants that I found in my "yard trash" pile(I think they are cukes).

It's been overcast and drizzly...but the temps around 80-85...and thats GREAT! I'm sooooo tired of the HEAT!

George got me thinking(he says thats a BAD thing) and I'm thinking of building a trellis and site blocking fence tommorrow.

Karen

I mowed de~lawn!! UGH!
With the push mower...

Watered all of my coleous's...
Had alot of fun with those plants this year....
(gotta do some clippings if I can find the window space???)

Cleaned the yard up some, winter's coming you know. Starting to put some of my pots away before all the leaves cover them!

And picked some Jalapeno's and Cayenne peppers, and sent some down to the neighbor......
And my nephew came down today too (**One of these 20 year old wanna be macho~know~it~all boys), and I handed him one of each, and jokingly , told him to gnaw on those on the way home.....
He processed to bite one off, giving me a look of WATCH THIS, I'M A I tried not to look at him while he was eating them, and then he popped the jalapeno in and still pretended like nothing was going on, Then, all of a sudden, this choked up, wee~little squeakie voice said, from behind me said, Ah, can I have something to drink, and I could hardly contain myself ,
He was on fire, and could hardly talk......
I told my brother, to watch the seats of his new truck on the way home for evidence of what he JUST ATE!!! OH MY GAWD!!!
Those peppers were unbelievable HOT, I tasted them, and complimented myself on a job well grown with them!!!! TOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNNNNNN~NEEEEEEEEEE!

And inspected my punkin's, I should get some decent sized one's considering I didn't plant them until the middle of July (I was soooooo far behind this summer)

Anyhow, Anyone still picking zucchini???

Weezie

They're always good for a few giggles!

George was off of work today and decided it was time to paint the outside of the house :p I started out by pressure washing where it needed it and he came behind me with the roller. I had to go around and cut in all the trim. Didn't mind doing down bottom...didn't like standing on a ladder to do the top ! We got 2 sides done and 1 other side cut in. I hope we get it done before Jeanne strikes. I'm gonna be SO MAD if she messes up my new paint job!

I must admit it does look really nice and fresh. Its a rich creme color and the shutters and trim will be blue.

Boy am I TIRED!

Karen

I hate to paint a house, room, etc.
I am a painter (that is my claim to fame, as far as careers go...Sign Painter Extrordinaire), but when it comes to painting something that's not a graphic... !

Now, if I painted a mural on a house, that would be GOOD! Or pin stripes..... or flames!

Yeah! Flames on a house! Too cool! (I have them on my lawn mower! Want to see a picture! )

Cindy

I would LOVE to see your lawnmower...It sounds really cool!

Karen

I do!!
Pick me, I wanna see!!!!

Weezie

Well, I'm trying to find the memory card I took out of my camera, and I'll take a picture of it! Why is it not in my camera, the scanner, or on my desk??? Of course, it could very well BE on my desk and I would have to get the dozer in here to clean my desk off so I could find it!

Let's see...I took a picture of a frog planter with zinnias and dahlias in it, put it in the scanner to download, then got it back out to take a pic of the new skunk last night, stopped on the way to the computer to make a Jim Beam and Pepsi, now I can find the camera just fine, but no memory card in it. Could it be in the freezer? I had to get ice out...

The aliens probably stole it!

OMG!!!
You didn't drink it, did you???

How about in the computer still???
A friend of ours did that.

Along time ago I was bringing in groceries to my apt. ...I had another little bag of stuff (some paperwork and a reimbursement check from someone) and threw it in the bag of groceries to make it easier to carry. Well let's just say about a month later I found that missing check....yep in the freezer(next to the ice cream)....I just shoved that bag of freezer stuff right in without thinking about the check being in there.

Are you serious or are you making fun of me?

Cindy

***Karen,
Is that the definition of "COLD HARD CASH"???

Weezie

YES! ! !

Would I ever make fun of you Cindy? Nawwwww.. not me!
... there are times that you leave yourself wide open though, and its very tempting...

Oh!!!
You mean those times when you just call me a DINGBAT?

.. thats not making fun of you!

Bill, you can make fun of me all you want as long as you add those sweet little kissee graemlins!

You KNOW I can't resist those!

Did you find your "THINGY" yet

Karen

I found MINE!
It had fallen behind the refrigerator!

Karen

That should have been the first place you looked!
I'm curious Cindy... you wouldn't by chance be a blonde would you?
... just asking.......
