I managed to get 4 beds cleaned today. (Superficial cleaning...cutting stuff back and pulling out large grass clumps.) Leaves are still there for protection, as I expect colder weather next week.
I think I have lost a lot of my Becky daisies and mums. I was worried about that since we had a really cold spell (temperatures in the single digits) early in December after a fairly warm fall. Maybe it's still too early to expect new growth, but it looks right now like I am going to have to replace a lot of stuff. Fooey.
No I had not seen that, but I do know some Houstonians do not appreciate going into some stores and the clerks cannot speak English. It's amazing.
We ran into that in Florida 15 years ago. My husband was amazed; he didn't know that there were that many Hispanic people in Florida.
A comedian Robins wrote something similar to that. I've forgotten his name, but he was in "Good Morning Vietnam".
Short memory.
Sometimes I think about that too Dog. It amazes me how many Americans do NOT KNOW we are at war. Amazing.
My mums are up. So are the wild daisies. I don't have Becky, so I don't know what sort of a time schedule "she" is on.
My guess is you lost the mums. What color were they? Some colors are hardier than others in my climate. Yellow does best. Burgundy does well, too. That coppery colored one does not survive Iowa winters well if not pampered.
No some of the neighborhoods speak only dialects of Indian, some Chinese, some Mexican, but these people do not speak English and expect the Americans to speak their languages. Amazing.
Gotta hit the hay. Same ole readon. It's tired.
Y'all sleep well. nite all.
I will be upset if I lost those Becky Shastas. Those were very sturdy-stemmed, long blooming daisies, much better than "Alaska."
I have a few shoots up, but not very many. I guess I will have to replace them. Bummer.
Good night, till.
I don't know what it is with flashlights and extra batteries. They seem to take off together for long journeys and are never seen again.
Take care IG.
I am feeling somewhat better. The Zithromax is doing its thing. I'll be so glad when I feel a lot better. This really had me down.
Thanks for asking, Lysie.
Well, I thought I could stay up until 10:00 pm when the 'meat' of the storm is predicted to arrive here. But I'm just so tired.
I'm going to go to bed. I've got a cell phone and a portable phone with me. #3 Son is on the Volunteer Fire Dept. I just had an email message from him, and they haven't been called out for Storm Watching duty, yet.
See everyone tomorrow morning.
Our Em is still cute!
Daughter & I were out having coffee at Panera today....and afterwards, I applied my lipstick.
Em watched me very closely.....then looked at her mother----who proceeds to take out the chapstick and apply to Em's cute little mouth.
Em mimicked exactly what I had done....she held still while the chapstick was applied and then compressed her lips, blotting it....it was adorable. :)
Thanks
That is my fear also.
;^)
We'll be getting rain/thunder in the wee hours, looks like.
I taught my youngest granddaughter the story of The Three Bears. She can recite the whole thing, with appropriate low growly voice for Papa Bear and high squeaky voice for Baby Bear! It is so cute!
Not the best lyricist that Texas ever produced.
Greetings. I'm fading fast, and mi gato forgot that she can't use claws on the human. She nailed me to the chair through a very sensitive middle toe. Screaming, wailing, thrashing.... And then I started whining about it.
The catz were glad to have me back. Now, I think they want me to go away so they can continue their wayward party ways with me gone... 8>)

I am as pooped as them, and am going to bed.
Good night!
