Life is "mind over matter". If I d
JB--Thanks! Good to hear from you too....
Sorry--byt this all will be off-topic.

Now that all the craziness is over (the huge, nation-wide Festival (held at our Inner harbor)--AND--putting up my 2 sisters for 4 days and nights--has driven me a bit crazy.
It does not help that we have a lot of friction and disagreements between us.
They both live in N. Carolina now...
I am just glad to be home alone putzing around my garden. Mostly watering everything. My big, spectacular Epi just opened her 1st bloom. Second will follow
in a day or two.
Just washed all the bedding--so that is done! Am watering every area today as well.

It seems crazy--but I have been OFF work since June 29th. I SOOO miss being at work at the HD! I miss the people and keeping busy. I go back to my regular schedule this coming Tuesday. YES!!! Back to some structure to my life...a little crazy--but familiar.

FYI--My printer just died yesterday. i had an Epson (since 2007)---so now I am stuck with 4 almost new Epson cartridges $$$$$$ , I may get another Epson--there's one for $79.99--BUT--Cannot use the old cartridges on another Epson--it won't work.Bummer!

OHHHH!!! This post is about Foood.....
I grilled some ribs (first time) on my small 2-burner grill, which has been sitting covered for 3 or 4 years. I have used the side tables as a plant holders...all this time.
I am now encouraged to do grill something again. I DO have 4 ears of corn......

Also---big, fat, dark red cherries are available now. I bought 2 bags for $2.99lb.
Yummmmmm..... G.

Some photos from 2-13..(when I still had my old camera)...

1--My Epi is blooming again. will have 2 spectacular blooms.
2--My HUGE Honeymoon Lily--which had 12 blooms again.
3--In just a week or so--my Kopper King Hibiscus will look something like this.
4--In 2013--Ric and Holly visiting my garden--sitting on my porch swing.
(one pic here is going to be a douplicate....bummer!
