Attention! Sunshine has left the house and will be replaced by your old buddy, Sidney.
Later in the week I will ask for a screen name change too.
Sidney

Sidney

I just have to share..

Our grandson's first birthday

What a beautiful baby! Congrats to him and the whole family!!!!

Pheadra what a pretty Grand baby! I didn't even know you had one.
Sidney

Holy cow! I wish someone would have reminded me how active a 1 year old is.. they are home for Easter and I am exhausted already...
A good exhausted but wow how did I survive mine being that age....

Sidney, wonderboy is now grown and living in south Florida he choose the college first program with the army so he is attending classes working and doing weekend drills to fullfill his army obligations.

Hallelujah!
I think that's wonderful!
Got bulbs and Brugs to pot-up today.
I'll be looking for someone to do yard work around here.
It's our yearly leaf shedding.
I hope the live oak leaves I've been composting for 7 yrs are really dirt yet?
Sidney

What a cute baby! And, yes, there's a reason why Mother Nature gives us babies while we're young and still have some energy left.

Karen

Ditto what Karen said! I know your pain too well Pheadra! And it's such a good exhaustion. Your grandbaby is such a cutie! He makes me smile!!!

Juanita sent me some brug cuttings and what a great surprise it was. I am so happy now that I will have some gorgeous brug blooms this year.

Have lots of these in the woods right now. They are windflower or wood anemone. Very nice. My azaleas look awful. Between the snow and the deer eating them they are pretty pitiful. So sad since I just planted 20 of them this past Fall. Still haven't recovered from digging the holes.

Oh no! Juanita
Have you tried misting them with eucalyptus?
Or perfume?
All the hunters I knew hated perfume because it repelled deer.
Sidney

Wow Juanita, that's a sweet little flower. Does it have a nice scent?

I've been spraying deer repellent , but unfortunately when we had the 40 plus inches of snow that wasn't an option. What will be will be.

Brin the anemones don't have any scent. I seem to have a lot of wildflowers coming up this Spring. Maybe I always have, just never noticed them. I need to get a good guide, because I am woefully uninformed on identification.

Happy Easter all!

Good luck with the deer problem! I know that has to be discouraging.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

The deer drive me nuts, too. Ditto rabbits. Heck, even the birds have stolen my seedlings. I feel like they all meet at midnight and plot who will destroy which plant before daybreak.

Karen

Actually Karen they auction off nibbling rights much like we do some hunting permits.
The only time I tried to grow veggies the squirrels were the only ones bidding, so they got all that grew.
I'd be too blue if they started in on my play plants.
Any hints on growing our Geraniums, let me know. My alter-ego got carried away on ebay last night, again.
I am so excited. Here these will grow year round. A ten yr. old plastic pearl finish Conch shell planter has been on it's last leg for a year or two. It's still okay from a distance so I told Henry that when that geranium died that I would throw it away. So far it's hanging on.
It's a beautiful afternoon'
Happy Easter.
Sidney
