Found Angry Birds and owls.

Snork said:I wonder if it comes in a Duck pattern.....Would love to buy some Duck duct tape.......

That will get even more people to pronounce duct tape wrong.

I have a t shirt that says, I can fix anything, where's the duck tape?

Got a notice that my order from Country Delights is being shipped. I have never ordered from them before, but had to have Chocolate Ecstacy and they had it. Of course traveling companions were ordered too! Another cool day today, I have to dig some orders to ship. I have some weeding to do as well, and some planting. The grass has all but stopped growing now, so I don't have to mow as often. We need some rain now too, but this is more typical of July. Always dry.

Here, Tom, no duct tape needed. I designed this bumper sticker a few years ago for someone who worked for me. Have to click on it

A similar sign was hung outside the repair shop, in the old "Mutt and Jeff"comic strip. All you ever saw of the mechanic was his butt ! He was always bent over, under the hood of a car! Being a mechanic (retired, thank the Lord !), I relate to things like that ....Arlyn

I have an old buddy of mine that should have a sign that says "I tried to fix it, so now it must be broken".

I have a brother-in-law who told me that everything he touches turns to @#$%^ and that he is King Midas in reverse!

I've always said some fella's should have their forehead tattooed...."Give this man NO tools !!"...That being said, "mechanically challenged" people made me lots of money when I was working ................Arlyn

If you have a helpful partner who breaks your stuff, buy extended warranties and say "That's so sweet of you, but if you work on (insert item) it will void the warranty."

I paid the extra $500 for an extended warranty on a new car once after a well meaning sweetheart blew the engine on a 62,000 mile car. It seems if one sets the timing wrong the oil cap hits the hood of the car, oil spurts everywhere and white smoke blasts out the tail pipe.

Ouch

Ruh-roh!!!!!

Thought you might like to see my seedling bed. Now that I finally have them in the beds. I though I could get them all in one row. Had to steal some space fromt he veggie garden for the last one. I was planning on making another row into the garden anyway for next year's seedling. Now I have to go draw a map in case I loose some markers.

That is exciting, Tom! Interested to see photographs as they bloom.

Looks good, Tom ! ............Stealing from the veggie garden is an accepted practice among iris fanatics,,,,,,,as is reducing lawn area.............but when you hang grow lights in the bathroom, and fill the tub with potting soil.................you have gone TOO far !..........Arlyn

Arlyn! But taking over the guest bedroom is still considered acceptable right?

Nice beds Tom. How many seedlings are planted? (Boy do I miss that lovely soil they have in the Midwest!).

I have 142 babies. Boy, I don't think I could do the thousands that some of the big guys do, but I'm sure they hire help to plant them all. Now I wonder how many will survive.

Yup, bedrooms, and window sills are fair game ! It will all be worth it in a few years, Tom, when they deliver that Dykes medal from England to you !!How many crosses do those 142 represent ?............Arlyn

Tom - interesting to see your rows of babies. Just so I understand, these are from the
mother plant? If the mother has just produced one baby, do you take that? Or do you leave a
baby with the mother?

Or - I might have misunderstood - are these from seed?

Planting too many iris can keep us young!
