rocklady said:Glutened. Never thought about that although I don't have to watch for it, but it does make sense.

If 1 spouse has celiac disease & the other does not; then if the spouse who can eat gluten does eat gluten or drink a gluten beer; then they have to brush their teeth thoroughly before kissing the spouse with celiac disease. Some people have a "shared" household where both gluten eaters & the celiac eat but that's very hard to do & there's a lot of mental stress to make sure crumbs aren't left around & no one dips a gluten utensil in the PB or oleo or mayo or mustard etc... they have to have separate toasters, cutting boards, sketti strainers ect.... Most find it easiest to have a gluten free household & the gluten eater can eat or drink gluten away from home but not in the home.
Since my hubs has celiac also (lucky us ) we have a gluten free household but we were shared for 5 months until my hubs discovered he also has celiac disease. Sort of one of those weird situations where it worked out for the best????????? BTW, 1 in 133 people has celiac disease but 90% don't know it ----yet.

Wow!!! I never would have thunk it! Makes me feel extremely fortunate! I've never had to deal with something as this! "Knock on wood" that i never will!!!

Although, If I were to cut out the flour/white sugar etc. I'd probably be thinner and much healthier too!!!!

Good Morning Florida Gardeners!

David - the jungle looks wonderful.

I opened the sunporch windows this AM. 1st morning below 70!!!!! Hopefully the plants will enjoy some fresh air. I know I will. Not sure what is growing in my yard. I left before sunrise yesterday &, by the time I got home, I was too tired to go out & see what was there!!!! I do know that the DP is sure putting on a display of orange!!!!

Looking forward to Sunday when I can get out & play with my plants!!!!!

Good Morning! It felt like fall yesterday.

Ann!

Was the Quilt show fun and productive yesterday Jean? It's actually raining here? No umbrellas needed today they tell us? Ha!

73 here this morning. The convertible top is coming down!

Raining David? Ha! Weather guessers.

A cool 67 here this morning. nice, very nice. High today 81.

WOOHOO!!! A wonderfully comfortable 69 this morning!!! Fresh air! Ann! Nice! Very nice!

David - show is going very well. Was PACKED for most of yesterday. Fri & Sat are normally busier!!!!

The sun is shining here - 1st sunny AM in quite awhile.

I'm sure allt he rain will come to a screeching hault the day my new sod goes in!!!!

Jean, Isn't that the way it always goes!?! When you 'need' the rain, it's a no show!
Glad to hear that the show is going well, and drawing a crowd! I didn't realize until I read in the paper, that so much goes to charity. That's a great thing! Bravo to the 'Piecemakers'!!!

Yes, lovely outside here this morning, too. Yesterday we still had soup, but finally the dry air has reached us.

Jean, it's so nice you have the patience to quilt (or sew at all). It's not my forte'. Nothing puts me in a bad mood faster than sewing. It makes me doubly appreciate people who do.

Oh yeh, you know it, your sod will go in & then there'll be drought for 3 solid weeks.

The sycamore tree is looking quite sickly leaved --- FALL! And plenty of the leaves are falling. Pecan leaves are beginning to fall too although I don't really see any color changes on them. My first year with them so I'm not sure what to expect. Do pecan tree leaves change color? Or just turn brown? Right now they seem green but some of the varieties of trees are a pale, pale green & mostly those are the ones losing leaves.

I keep meaning to get out & take photos of the pecans. The first ones are just starting to drop --- they are the Candy variety, They are small but meaty & tasty.

Jean, where is the quilt show? I have a dear friend, who coincidentally is also named Jean, who quilts. Years ago we went to Paducah where they have a quilt show and some of them were unbelieveably beautiful. Although I do jsut about every other type of hand work, I have never quilted, but one of my most prized possession is a pair of quilts that my grandmother made.

Well I'm at the show in JAX but the show in DeLand is also this weekend.
I survived another day!!!!! Just 1 to go & then I can get back to my yard work.

DH said we got quite a bit of rain today. The puddles that disappeared yesterday are indeed back.

No rain here today. Our first nice 'almost' fall day. The sky tonight was awesome.

I wish so much I could have gone to the quilt show.

Took a walk around the back, my thryallis is just blooming away, I just have such fond memories of this type bush, and their yellow blooms. Im for sure adding some more next year, along with more beautyberries. They are just troopers in the dry weather.

Pam, thyrallis will survive up here????? I love that stuff! Cast iron it is & pretty in the bargain. And the flying things love it.

If you already have beautyberries I'll bet you can find babies all around to move around right in your yard. Those things pop up all over the place here!

Good Morning

The POURING rain woke me at 4:15. Looking at the weather map it is just hanging right here. Like we need more rain.
Hopefully it will let up a bit Sun/Mon so I can get these last few plants in the ground.

It's raining here too. I hope we have a few nice breaks in it. I need to to many things today that I'm behind on. This is the last day of your quilt show. Take a couple of pictures to share with us. We can look at something other then plants once in a while here! HaHaHa! I know their are quilts with plant patterns and prints anyway., Right?!!!
