Birds & Oil Do Not Mix

What is happening in the Gulf Coast now, is a tragedy of major proportions to say the least. First I feel for the people of New Orleans, Louisiana because of what happened after Katrina. Which is to say the Bush administration did nothing for those who lived there. It seemed as if they want Louisiana to be a 3rd world country on its own.

Weekend Stars

It's a rare meeting of space ships and planets according to Nasa. Check it out and look up this weekend.

A Love that will Grow!

I have a new hotty and it's feet are firmly planted in my front lawn. It's name is Fothergilla and her name is Mount Airy, hmmmmmm.
This was one of my purchases last spring, my first spring here in Grafton. When I saw Mount Airy, I knew I had to plant it immediately. So in the front lawn next to  the Bridal Wreath Spirea and it's back drop is the soon to be removed Blue Spruce from Colorado. Good bye to Colorado and hello to I have not made up my mind yet!
Back to Mount Airy and it's stunning beauty........

Springing back......

What a spring, about  a month ago it was hotter than Hades here and the past two weeks we have had the temperature drop back down to where it should be and a few times cooler than it should be. Working in the horticulture and landscape trade I seem to spend a lot of time listening to the radio for frost warnings. Many plants that bolted a month ago have had frost damage. One day last week it snowed, sleeted and rained all in the same day.
