Thanks very much, Yorkie - what kind of critters?

Deer and javelina ate the tops - the moles ate the roots. Not a thing left - not even a thorn. LOL

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

DEAR GOD, who suffered torment, agony,
and death upon the Cross to free our souls
from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend
our troops. Guide them in the performance of
their duties. Strengthen them to endure hard-
ship,danger and deprivation in Your service. Let
their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghan-
istan from the chains of terror and slavery,
foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all
to a greater share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

The most beautiful one was called The Senator. (It was a Republican, I am sure - because it was pure, beautiful, elegant and smelled wonderful!)

I can’t find it on the net. I bought it in a five gallon container from a very good garden center, here.

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!

This is my Neptune Rose.
It's a beautiful lavender color
and has THE most wonderful scent!
It does get overheated quickly though. Sad. :(

[MEG33]

What a wonderful color LUV!

Happy Caturday to YOU, Meg!

See you tomorrow!

[ConorMacNessa]

Have you tried landscape roses like the Meidiland (sp) Roses? Their bloom form isn't that great but they may stand up better to the animals. I know some ppl here who have buried wire mesh around their plants to deter moles.

[ConorMacNessa]

Stunningly beautiful, Luv! When we get into the really high temps here, I find myself watering two or three times a day.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

It is simply gorgeous when the Texas sun hasn’t had a chance
to bake the petals to a crisp! I wish you could smell it. :D

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND NATION!

GEORGE WASHINGTON – THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE

In the coldest and darkest days of the American Revolution, General George Washington raised his prayers for the survival of his beleaguered Army and of the new Nation. The Lord answered those prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting glory and bestowed His manifold benefits upon the new Nation.

In like manner, let our prayers now rise for our heroes in the American military who seek to secure the benefits of Freedom on behalf of a people hungry for them. Father, look on our prayers for them with favor, guide their steps in righteousness and keep them in the shelter of Your healing wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Amen.

I’ve tried everything (well, not everything, like the Meidiland rose) - but even planted a whole bed of giant marigolds - and they were all gone in a week. I planted tomatoes three years ago, after wrapping household insulation around the roots, and then tight, compact chicken wire around that, before planting the plants - and the underground critters just put their little claws through the chicken wire, pulled the insulation out, and ate the roots.

I have had vegetable gardens and flower gardens and rose gardens everywhere I ever lived. This is the only place that God’s critters are smarter than me. LOL

[yorkie]

Oh, my goodness, Luv! That is BEAUTIFUL!!! I had roses when I lived there, but they were never as beautiful as that!!

[tiapam]

Thank you,ML! That cat almost looks like he’s ready and waiting for a massage! LOL!

[ConorMacNessa]

Oh my! Have you considered concrete? Can you grow stuff in pots?

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[luvie]

Thank you, Yorkie!

It was a birthday gift from a very dear FReeper FRiend who
lives in the east. It’s not adapted to our heat, but in
the springtime before it gets H O T, it does very well. I
had about 14 blooms on it last week!

Another BIG Recital Tomorrow!
I have had two Cancellations, so my other Heroic Students have all offered to do extra songs to fill in the gaps!
That's the Kind of Musicians I Train!

Love,
