thanks Zuzu, maybe not so much in that energy part right now, but I am resting up for it, soon I will be back in action!

My most recent picture, I rarely have my picture taken as I am usually behind the camera. This was a month ago. Oh I can hardly wait to meet and hold this babe!

Two lovely looking gals!

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned applying Epsom Salts around their roses in any of the articles. I find the flowers to be stronger colours, bigger blooms and healthier plants.

I used to do that, but saw no difference in my roses, so now I only use epsom salts on my clematises. This has saved me a ton of money in the last few years now that the price of epsom salts has quintupled.

Zuzu - you can't find epsom salts at the Dollar Store? Dollar Tree sells it...I think they're in 1lb packages.

That's why I say the price quintupled. The epsom salts at the dollar store now are 0.20 lbs. instead of a pound.

I found that some of the Ag supply stores sell it at a good price. Last year I bought some at Costco.

The container resembling a half-gallon of milk cost 89 cents at WalMart a few years ago, but now it's $4.87. Our local farm supply store doesn't carry it in bulk, darn it.

Rose in Seattle's winter! In honor of rose week

Greg - Wow! *jealous!!*

It was such a surprise to see! I'm originally from Detroit, but have lived here for almost 30 years (yikes the time!) so I forget that winter doesn't end in February! I do love our PNW climate!

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!!

Lots of lovely artucles going on for Rose Week. Of course the roses here aren't doing anything but spring will come (and I hope soon). We had a warm January but pretty much a cold February. Hopefully March will be mild. We will see.

Sue you are GORG! (wolf whistle)

She is, CR. I agree.

uh, I have never thought of myself as gorgeous, maybe just pleasantly OK, but thanks ladies!

Saw this on my FB feed.. Zu & all cat lovers have to watch it.
