Real quick shout out to Paigea T. who asked about attracting butterflies. If you do not have a plant or ability to have a plant or just want to SEE lots of butterflies. Put out an old mushy banana and they will come in droves!! So will knats, so keep it away from doors and open windows.
This is what we get…
The banana is in there somewhere ( black) I slice it in half right through the skin or I peel half the skin and leave it on like a welcome mat! LOL! They love the skin too! I have done this will melon rinds I think any fruit that is NOT SO JUICY they get wet standing on it will do well.
Shout OUT to Rosemary!
Hey Honey! Those seeds you sent are awesome! Here is the first Morning Glory Bloom! Just this morning and its was still wrinkled when I snapped the picture! SO NEW! WHOO! HOO!! Thank you Darlin! I smile everyday at these plants from your wonderful gift! MWAH!
Memorial Day Weekend is upon us, we are going to be cooking the obligatory BBQ and sizzling ourselves a bit too I expect! Weee! My Jack-man is taking some forced time off so he will be underfoot starting today. WHOOT! He never takes vacation or sick time and every few years his company forces him to take the time or lose it. So he takes it and promptly glues himself to my backside. * eyeroll-laughter* I am not lying…the man hovers…its cute, but in about 48 hours I am going to be screaming for a little elbow room!
This morning when I did my waking up, Jack was snoring and then all the sudden he quit. This man doesn’t just stop snoring unless he flops over or something like that. I put my hand on his chest and waited for him to breathe…an eternity past. When I put my ear to his mouth to test his breathing, just in case my hand was too stupid to feel a chest rise, I guess. He whispers in my ear. ” I am holding my breath!” and bit me on the ear! HOOT! That man knows how to start a vacation!! I am still giggling about that!
I reminded him that a punch in the chest to re-start the heart is how other people react, and that I might try that next time. He quivered in fear, or was it giggles. Fear! Of course he was so scared he literally fell asleep! HOOT!

Thanks for the update on the Morning Glory plants! I’m SO glad they’re growing well for you. As stated, I have a black thumb, so I’ve even gone so far this year as to have the next door neighbor plant some Stargazer Lily bulbs (that I bought) in HER yard so I can enjoy them, LOL! I hope our Oregon ‘weeds’ grow well for you, and that you can beautify the ugly spot…BTW, the photo of the MG bloom is gorgeous…I ‘stole’ it for my pic files, hope that’s OK.
Hey Girlfriend!!
Now getting your neighbor to plant flowers for you to enjoy…THAT’S GENIUS!! WHooHOo!
If you want more variations of this picture to download, plus the same photo just a bigger size, visit my photobucket gallery I uploaded them for the taking.
Hugs Honey!
