Well, you've read the notes, the notes stopped and started, and now it is time for you to post until the stop and start cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SHIBBOLETH!

I've heard nothing but that El Nino is going to be huge and that we have 100% chance of rain. I've heard this since Saturday and today is the day it's 100%. Really. Funny, clear skies yesterday and the day before and no sign of anything right now.

I don't have a favorite, but Mr. Chippings does and he sings about them.

What a coinky-dink, DR George! I just bought the same computer keyboard you did, for the same reasons.

I guess neither of us have an excuse for any posting typos, now.

I am not feeling very well - have a fever and am sweating, and I was up and back and forth to the bathroom at least once an hour all night.

I would prefer not to have to go in to work today, but looking at the appointment schedule, it may be unavoidable.

I slept rather well, although an unsettling nightmare woke me around 12:30.

I had one crazy dream just before awakening. Boy, do some dreams not make any sense at all. And yet, we believe them.

Vibes for everyone.

TOD:

I grow roses, a few of which are still blooming at this late date. The colors include several shades of orange, an heirloom that is purplish red, one yellow and one white.

I also have a Mexican love vine, which produces flowers that are both red and a fiery orange.

My favorite flowers are irises. I have not had any luck in growing those.

Moving into the theatre vibes for DR TCB.

Nice new keyboard DR GEORGE.

Good luck at SAG vibes for MR BK!

Feeling better vibes for DR SINGDAW.....it is terrible to have to work when you are not feeling well.....

I love flowers. I always buy a nice bouquet on Monday to have in the house all week. Of course for several weeks after my father's funeral, we had plenty of flowers in the house.

I liked color tipped carnations. They usually stay nice for a whole week. Snapdragons are very pretty. I like lilies, too.

We don't grow too many flowers, but we have a few out front - probably zinnias and tulips that are very colorful!

DR JANE is still on vacation!

Tuesday morning greetings! I'm off to Dayton soon for lunch with my grantwriter friends. It's cold here, but clear and sunny, and I'm looking forward to being out and about.

Ginny · « **Reply #27 on:** January 05, 2016, 07:52:55 AM »

TOD - I think roses are overrated and they don't last. Give me pink carnations any day. And I love daffodils, the only flowers that grow in our yard. We usually get one really good bouquet each spring.

I have probably about fifty rose bushes in my yard (front, sides and back). My favorites are the striped roses, which are mostly mini roses. The George Burns and Purple Tiger roses are especially lovely, but they don't last long. The Oranges and Lemons rose is nice too. The best large striped rose I have is called Rock n' Roll, which is stunning and lasts longer. The longest lasting rose I have is also very beautiful and it's called Perfect Moment. When I bought this house, I really got into gardening and learning all the different roses and their names, which I found very amusing when they're named after celebrities. I have a Barbara Streisand rose and a Rosie O'Donnell rose too. Then I started grooming dogs on the weekends and my roses are sadly very neglected now.
For smaller plants, I like to plant perennials so I don't have to replant constantly - they last a couple years. I like to plant impatiens in the Spring and cyclamens in the Winter because they bloom with no sun at all and I have a lot of areas that get no sun. For annuals that do need sun and only last a couple seasons, I like petunias in the Summer and pansies in the Winter, but I keep those areas small since they have to be replanted so often. I tried to grow gardenias once, but they never bloomed. Bulbs don't do well in Southern California because we always get a heat wave in the middle of December and they get confused and think it's Spring and start coming up. Most people here dig their bulbs up and put them in the fridge for the Winter, but who has time for that nonsense?!

I'm up, I'm up and I guess the days of getting eight hours of sleep are history. They are now tearing down the house to the east of me. That's the third in the last three months. But this one is adjacent to this property and it's like they're in the backyard with those huge yellow machines that are making hash out of what used to be the most charming neighborhood in the Valley. This isn't regular people doing this - this is developers buying up everything and knocking it down so they can make obscene profits. I get it. But I hate it.
