We are getting a doxie to help my friend who's starting her own shelter here.... for 2 weeks (ONLY!). He's coming tonight. I'm excited...hoping this will soften my grumpy hubs.

Deb, I'm glad to hear your cholesterol (?) is looking good, I hope the spray helps you!

We may be getting a 5 YO Peke who's bonded to a 14 (we're told) YO Lab mix needing rescue. As fosters there's the "escape clause" line . . .("Of course they'll be adopted, then we'll be back to normal.")

Not a show I watch, but would still be neat to catch some of it.

JJ house update... We got a lot done today. Forms are in, base is in and tamped, and some of the re-bar is laying there. Cement tomorrow.

It is looking good JJ.
But, you know it really doesn't bug me that much when you call concrete, cement.

No, I took it from pole-cam. I have a 20' swimming pool cleaning pole. I build a head for it so I can mount my camera on it. I can hols it about 7' in the air so add in the 20' and I get the camera 27' in the air.

Yes it is. Three guys, 8 hours and they got it ready for cement.

Kewl job with the high cam shot.

Ok, now your terminology is starting to bug me, they are pouring CONCRETE, not SEA-MENT.

That Puddle fella sure is a good wordologist.

This is really cool chainsaw art. A bit long of a video, but nice result. LINK

Well.. you see.. I have an aversion to rock, fly ash and sand. I only recognise the Sea-ment.

Nice digs.

Redbud?

Thank you and no. Redbuds I know and hope to get one maybe next year, this year it is a Bradford Pear. After researching the weeping cherry I went out and took a closer look, the dead give away was the...

Your weeping tree is a grafted weeping cherry. If you look at it you will see they grafted a weeping top to a straight cherry trunk. It will stay smallish and make an umbrella instead of getting very big.

Beautiful color pallet, Wooly Dan.

Becky your plants look high in the beds as a a result of years of mulching though they could just be high. It's not a bad thing. Minimize how much dirts you add as you rather they are high than low. Use a spade to cut a nice defined edge on your beds, add a little soil, and mulch is my suggestion. Use pine fines or a mix of shredded pine and fines. It is better for the garden than nasty shredded hardwood mulch.

The bud you posted is indeed a magnolia.

Thanks Zane. I've actually done the first tilling of the entire garden area, filled in just about half, and tilled again then raked and smoothed. After all the gardens are done, I'll see what is left and lay a layer of the mix on top of what is tilled in. Can't get pine fines around here, wish we could. There are some under the blue spruces between the neighbor and us, might see how much I can rake out, though it is really on their property not ours.

Thanks for the ID's. Will the weeping cherry produce edible fruit? Curt is hoping for a pie.

Here's a kind of fun engagement shoot: http://blumephotograph​y.com …-amazing-engagement-shoot

Nice. The photographer also knows what will work with processing techniques, such as the split tone processing he did on the shot with them in jeans. Good thinking, I'll need to add that to my memory banks.

BTW I have 3 seniors to get booked, parents came to me after church service on Sunday.

Our backyard was so pretty when we first had it landscaped. Now it's just .... doggie.

Sounds beautiful to me...wait, I've see the videos, yep, looks gorgeous to me.

Bax if left to his own defenses will dig holes through out the yard, that we watch and letting him know...NO DIG. Other wise it is dead patches where he pees and nice fertilized grass masses where the mines are laid. And my house now, after Baylee is here is one clump of hair after another. *weighs hands* Lets see, vacuum or garden...vacuum or catch up here...vacuuming seems to be on a losing slide here.

Good evening all.

Fingers crossed Diane.

Deb - good job on your BP

Gil - like the house photos

Wool and Sid - love the flower photos.

No fruit Becky, but I'm sure you could find some cherries at the market for a pie

I have
Dog

Amazing. The grain in some of the logs was absolutely beautiful.

Hush. Though I love making pumpkin pie, fruit pie not so much. Fresh fruit is too labor intensive and canned fruit...ew. Though, blueberry pie, isn't difficult, no pits, stems or peels.

Right now though he wants a nice rhubarb or rhubarb/strawberry pie. I may just need to plant some rhubarb out behind the shop, in the mean time find someone else who has a few plants and can spare some stalks.
