Hi radu!!

I have been pouring the water on the plants this year, we have a drought. Just a tad of rain yesterday not enough to wet the parched lawns.

Your Violas go through a rest then bloom again --nice? Mine will get the frosty treatment come October. They may winter over and come back in the Spring. Pansies will do that sometimes.

[radu]

Howdy feather!

Yes, my violas bloom twice a year......early spring and again in the late summer/early fall. I guess they don't care for the heat of summer down here.

Right now, the only thing blooming in that bed is the one cleome that apparently came with the daylilies I transplanted from a friend's garden.

It's been dry here the past several weeks, too......until today. I've had to water the flower beds quite a bit this summer.
At least we've had enough rainfall, and at just the right times, to have a great corn crop.

I snapped this shot the other day from the yard of the Bernard House, that cool old place across the road.

The corn looks so short in this pic but it's 8 to 10 feet tall. Just to the right of center, you might be able to make out the roof of the house you stayed in while you were here. It's just in front of the silver barn roof.
Our house is hidden by the trees.

Nice picture. I can see the silver roof and the guest house roof. Anything happening with the old house?? That place is so cool.

WOW that is a great corn crop. You had corn the year I was there, but it had all been cut when I arrived.


Good to see the farm again. Thanks and HUGS. Please say Howdy to Fred, Cotton Mather, etc., Petey and Aunt Clara.

Too, bad the Beast got panned. :(

They're doing a little work on the inside of the Bernard House. They've installed new windows throughout (this is in the kitchen. our farm is seen in the background)....

....and are beginning to strip the walls.

Here's a close-up of what's behind the wood strips.

Fred's in my lap, trying to give me sugar right now. Makes it a little difficult to see the keyboard. LOL! Petey's on his computer and says "Howdy" backatcha. I'll pass your "Howdy" along to Aunt Clara when I see her.

[Soaring Feather]

WoW, taking her down to bare bones. That is a job, but the best thing to do. Nice view of the your farm. Thanks, HUGS.

[radu]

The work is going along slowly. They've only stripped the walls in that one room so far. The plan is to re-do the whole house.
I only hope Dewey lives long enough to have it completed. He was diagnosed with cancer last Dec. and I don't know how things really are with him right now.
We have no idea how he's willed his property and we fear that grand old house may end up being demolished if the restoration isn't completed in time. :-(

YUG!
Plaster and Lath!

[Valin]

Sorry I can't help I'm busy hiding under the bed.

I think the NFL is so popular because there are no hidden agendas, no lies involved. Just a game.

Let'ss not forget gambling.

BTY I pretty much agree with you on TV.

Afternoon Folks!

Played some golf this AM and now get to watch my 12yr. old nephews. Geez, they can make you feel old.

But then I saw the Saturday Symposium topic (BMT) and feel young again. ;^)

[A Jovial Cad]

Hey, remember when you actually had to get up from your seat to change the channel or adjust the sound?

Yep, and sometimes the screen would start "scrolling" for no apparent reason, and you had to fiddle with the "vertical" knob to get it to settle down. I actually remember the first TV we got that had a remote control--Magnavox magic! My wife and I were laughing about this this afternoon: rabbits ears, UHF hookups, Betamax! All gone the way of the Whigs, and eight tracks... A great stroll down memory lane.

[lizol]

Welcome back! How are your feet?!?!?!

Have always wanted do do it, but apparetnly have no courage enough. :-)))))))

Actually I have read today, that some military pilgrimage (probably the one you've described) was supposed to be protected by the 1st Special Commando Regiment from Lubliniec.
But maybe it was GROM, I don't know.

[Valin]

The world will be a better place with him at room temp. Tonight would be a good time.

[Professional Engineer]

Room, jungle, ocean, desert. They all work.

[Professional Engineer]

A collection of cartoons!
They take a while to download but it's worth it!

All gone the way of the Whigs, and eight tracks...
