Aww, very sorry.

We had to say goodbye to Comet this afternoon. Australian Sheperd. She was 14 1/2 years old. We hope there are a lot of rabbits to chase in Doggy Heaven. And hopefully Fedex & UPS makes a delivery once in a while so she can raise a little hell again.

Wow, you all are fast! I like them, and we were just curious what they were. It's funny to see them in full bloom in the morning, then go out after lunch and the blooms are gone.

These are growing in the front yard of our project house. They came up on their own this spring, and they seem to spread. They get pretty little lavender flowers on them. They bloom in the morning, but when the summer comes over in the afternoon and it gets hot, they close up. They also close up at night.

If you REALLY don't like a neighbor, plant some bamboo. That stuff is wicked. My mom had planted one stalk in the ground and within a few years it had spread to about a 10x10 area. Within 10 years it was out of control. A neighbor planted some and it cracked their pool.

I use Ant Bloch and it works well. It's not cheap (around $25). http://amdro.sitelab.net/AntBlock/index.html You can find it at Lowes or HD. I had a ton of ants in the house this spring and after putting Ant Bloch out they were all gone in a couple days.

I planted some new shrubs this weekend. All of them said they were "Deer Resistant". Barberry, Weigelia, Butterfly Bush & some Red Fountain Grass We will find out in a couple weeks. I also dug up the Azalea's and brought them back for my son's house in Hagerstown. No deer issues there Hopefully they will make a come back.

Well apparently the word got out. There was quite a dinner party when we got here last evening. 4 or 5 came out of our yard, and I could see another 4 or 5 crossing in front of your house. Some went across the street to the vacant house, and we watched one stand up on his hind legs to eat leaves off a tree.

Guess they got tired of the stuff they were eating over at our house

Was this from Agnes?
