DH's mother in law also sent a funny card with flamingos on it. It was great! DH got a little spending cash in the cards and decided that we need our first palm tree to spruce up the all rock backyard. DH & DW headed to Home Depot to check out the garden center. We found a great starter tree and pot to put it in. We brought them home & transplanted the palm tree and it made a huge difference in the feel of the landscaping. The sun went down tonight and you could actually hear the russel in the palm fronds as the wind blew. Did we mention that we grilled burgers tonight at 9:00 p.m. and it was 90 degrees? "Evil laugh!" We hope all is well with each and everyone of you.

Nice christmas lights!! lol! IT sure looks good that little palm tree! Kaza says that you look like a little evil-angel when you were a little turd! LOL!
Did you use the Osmocote when you planted it in the pot? Be sure to Miracle-Gro it at least once a month! I'm glad to see you expanding with some flora and fountain. It makes coming home at the end of a day so much more enjoyable! And, sitting out there with your glass of wine, the wind, the sun, the fountain.. ahh... bliss!
Meanwhile - back to reality here - DH is pulling a night shift so that 9127 can go to a week long homicide class, the dog is getting bigger and stronger (meaning: teeth and legs!), the Banana's 'boyfriend' pissed her off while visiting her in Winona this weekend (bye bye boyfriend) and I was out at yet another 10/52, 10/54.
I belive it only reached the high 60's here today - a bit nippy this morning at a brisk 52. 90's huh? ummm.... you can have that. Way too hot for us!
Did you happen to look at hummingbird feeders while at Home Depot this weekend?
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your comment. We didn't add extra Osmocote because the potting soil we used already had some in there. We will, however, have to pick up some Miracle-Gro. We also did look at hummingbird feeders and are trying to figure out if we should just get another sheperd's hook to hang it from or if we can hang it from the palm tree. Since bringing that palm tree home, DW has seen a hummingbird hanging around it twice already! Only 52 degrees! That's considered arctic here! We've all acclimated to the heat, in fact, both dogs love to lay in the sun in the morning inside of doing what they need to do! We're all doing well and miss you guys! Tell the Officer hello for us & we are happy for him.
