For Hollyweird crowd has always believed the sward was greener in Europe....as Gwen Paltrow proclaims her soul to Spain, she claims that "old" houses in the U.S. are a mere 17 years old. Yep, she is an icon of intellect in Hollyweird.

Gosh it felt good to sleep in today. of course sleeping in for me is 7:30 am. have to hit the grocery store bc we are hosting the horde of 17 yo boys tonight.

[tioga]

zero suspected of Plumbism because of recent readings taken on the White House sward ... "Makes sense to me", one commentator was overheard saying.

Helen Thomas suspected of being the prime carrier.

The rainy season has started so a variety of grasses and wild flowers are starting to grow plus of course the dreaded tumbleweeds. Actually it is pretty green here with the mesquite leaving out a couple of months ago and the other stuff starting.

helen is long overdue to fertilize some sward somewhere......

A+

Mark Sanford's misapprehension that the grass is greener on the other SWARD has the left orgasmic over the fall of a social conservative.

[tioga]

your “green” season is here? I have yet to see a desert turf anywhere.......I am thinking some day hubby and I will drive out to visit our kids.

I’ve been competing with my neighbor for the “best-looking lawn” title; today I nicked myself on the blade of my trimming shears. In other words, blood has been drawn in our sward-fight.

[xsmommy]

Among other things, with the governor's condemnation of Bill Clinton's serial adultery in the 1990s, the left has put him in a glass house the size of the Crystal Cathedral. And, in all fairness, Sanford should be taken to task. We all have a duty to hold our leaders to the highest standards, and I'll be the first to say that if a politician -- regardless of party or passions -- cannot uphold sterling moral and ethical standards, he needs to go

[tioga]

LMAO!

A++

highest grade so far!

[xsmommy]

what is it with men and their lawns? it is RIDIC, but true!

[tioga]

A+++

yep, they judge us lacking and fail to judge themselves at all.

OMG.......Obama trades a terrorists who killed five US soldiers for five dead bodies.......some trade.

Barack Hussein Obama has the blood of American soldiers on his hands. A fine way to say Happy Fourth of July to our troops. Barack the magic president used the distraction of the troop pullout in Iraq to hide the fact that he traded the murderer of five US soldiers for the bodies of five British troops. He released his brother just because. Happy Independence day.

Bush NEVER did this. We are now on new sward......

[tioga]

cool........a self portrait of Michelangelo.......
