Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
She was just born yesterday.

Those are some pretty flowers. Might have to plant some myself.
Flat Stanley came from the Alamo website.

Thanks. The website has some good ideas too.
I've not had much luck with Morning' Glories, which surprises me. I didn't think they'd be difficult to grow. Is there a secret?
I've been calling 'em spring peepers, but apparently that really refers to a variety of frogs that live back east. I'm guessing these are Pacific Chorus Frogs. They do sound a lot alike, though.
It's a nice sign of spring!
As the snow receded from the front walk, I found a little snowdrop coming up right in the inside corner of the walkway to the front door! A hopeful little sign of spring, but it was curled up tight this afternoon against bone chilling cold we had! I went out to get the mail and the just cut right through my jeans, GAK! it was cold! It's supposed to be nasty cold the next two days, then it looks like the worst of winter is over. Supposed to be in the upper 30's and low to mid 40's over the next week or so. I LIKE that!
Wasn't quite as exciting or stare inducing, as Flat Frodo, but it was fun, nonetheless.
Yeah - we have frogs! I got bit by some mosquitos the other day, so they are just in time :~)
This is Lobelia, Laguna Sky Blue
It's cold here. Too cold for frogs. Or spring.
Evenin' folkses...

wassupanstuf? Have I missed anything?
He did ok, most of the day...this evening it started hurting.
I doped him up with 800mg of Advil and a couple of Benadryls to help him sleep. He's out like a light now.
I got the bathroom done. Yes, me...he helped a bit, mostly advise. It even involved repairing some sheetrock behind the loose tile.
Good for you! I can wield a mean caulk gun, myself. ;o)
Heya - I'm headed out to your favorite 'vacation' destination next week. Well, technically across the bay and up the hill, but still in the neighborhood.
Bravo! Hehehee
Dunno....I've never grown them on purpose. :)
