I ...I don't deserve all your adoration, but thanks. I garden by what's on sale and what flower would survive in temperatures that rival roasting in Hell. Voila! That means this year it's all about Zinnias, Verbena, Day Lilies, and Angelonia. I planted two Crape Myrtles also.<BR/><BR/>Like I said, my house is in shambles. All my years of hard work; painting, wall papering, and decorating, have been destroyed. Gardening is more gratifying to me because it stays in pristine condition much, much longer than a just cleaned house with six kids living in it.elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20441833.post-1150089985848679062006-06-12T00:26:00.000-05:002006-06-12T00:26:00.000-05:00Beautiful!

I can only imagine that gardening in the mid 90s a temperature we only get occasionally here (I thank every deity I can think of for that!). <BR/><BR/>Over here, she who must be obeyed is glad to have a slave to do her garden bidding, especially when it comes to gettting rid of teh brambles that still like to infiltrate the garden and the holly leaves.. but such is life!<BR/><BR/>After a pretty wet May we have temperatures in the mid 80s now and the garden has really taken off.. Can't say I enjoy that level of heat though (I am such a wimp!).

If I win, I'll share some of my fabulous booty with you. Okay, that sounded really, really wrong.<BR/><BR/>I've built up super immunity elizabeth. It's hard for mere ant drones to bring down a Queen B. like myself. :)<BR/><BR/>miss biotech!!! Long time, no see! I'm counting on you using your skills gleaned from a Communist country upbringing, to infiltrate the homeowners association, and swing all votes in my favor. Are you up to the challenge? I'll let you take my favorite cattle prod along in case things don't go our way.<BR/><BR/>My house and garage are pig sty's. So, please just allow me to continue to back in the glory that is my yard.elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20441833.post-1149960938724015972006-06-10T12:35:00.000-05:002006-06-10T12:35:00.000-05:00As the Utahans say O My Heck!

If I'm betty crocker you're what? bob vila?? or whatever the yard equivalent is :) papi has a delightful humor. <BR/>I've been thinking about you and those blasted fire ants.
