Guest guest Posted April 6, 2002 Report Share Posted April 6, 2002 Ann, Chipmunks are so cute! I guess the bad thing is they cause a lot of holes and you more work. I have not seen any chipmunks around my house. I have a lot of squirrels. If the squirrels make the mistake of getting in the dog's yard they don't usually find their way out. My big dogs think they are something to play with. Ouch for the squirrels! The birds like to make nest in at least one of my hanging baskets on the front porch so I usually lose the flower in that one. It doesn't matter how late I put the baskets up that one bird waits for it I believe! Last year I thought I had outwitted him but NOT! haha The things we have to do for making our yards and surroundings as beautiful as we can. I want to put in a water garden this year but I don't know if we will or not. I have been watching the gardening shows and getting lots of ideas. My poor poor husband but someone has to dig the hole and make the water garden! hehe I am also wanting to get more cement and rock sculptures. Ahhhh the bad thing is it takes money so I might just be dreaming this year. There is nothing wrong with beautiful dreamers : > ) I can just imagine your dogs trying to go after them! It makes me laugh! God bless, Belinda > Belinda, > Do you have chipmunks? We have them and they like to eat things.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 'ts been a rough day. Everything hurts, wanted to do so much more. Painted some styrofoam as a base for what is slowly becoming my mini-rock-garden. Everytime I walk the dog I pick up a pebble or two, should be more impressive soon. The porticulata should cover a good deal of it, and planning to pull some moss from the stone wall in the park. Now just waiting for things to grow in a bit more. Can't really do anything else just sit on my ass and putter. My son did remark that I looked less gray today. Progress, I think. I'm sidestepping seeing mom this weekend, she'll have to understand. She's already made plans with my sister anyway (not including me as usual). Have my daughter and son here for mother's day. Good enough. Spectacular water garden, Ray, any lotus?? Loti?? Really am toast today. Taking a soak and packing it in. Stay out of hospitals, message received loud and clear. I have my nightmare stories too. I think we've all learned to put going there off if at all possible. Perhaps when Bill et al compile the brochures hospital ER's and medical schools should be a priority.
