For a second I thought something had taken her head. Whew!

There isn't a relieved smiley, is there?

the evil lawn mower as I moved it to the shed(not even running)...I later found her hiding under the 2 ducks, soaking wet as they had just gotten out of the pool

They learn to ignore the lawnmower after a while.

I did pick up Rouge Cardinal and Rebecca for 50% and 40% off elsewhere this winter. Joy Creek has nice stuff.

Oh heck. If they have Niobe, I'd like one. Or maybe Gravety Beauty. It seems a shame to buy something one can get anywhere at Joy Creek.

My DH is afraid for me to ask but where is that? I just adore clematis! Can't have to many of them. Last year I added a cedar arbor to the top of my fence in hopes that someday it will be covered. 2 Montana's would probably do it in a season. Polish Pride is gorgeous... almost luminescent!

It's in Scappouse, Or.

That's what I tell myself: otherwise why would I sent to them on their birthdays, right? But it really messed things up today.

I owe people birthday photos, best go find something to photograph, no? Oh, also: I'm going to Joy Creek Thursday, do you need any Clematis, etc?

Satan, get thee behind me!

Now, now, just trying to keep some reciprocity on the favors thing, y'know?

My /purpleJapaneseclematisstartswith"R"/ have died, both of them- the freeze/thaw/bread dormancy/drop to single digits thing was too much for it- Ruuguchi, that's the name! So I'm replacing them on the way to go photograph Iris in Salem/Silverton. And also going to Heirloom for red roses of some sort (Austin, prob). My doc asked me if I was digging out the roses now that I'm into chickens: silly man!

They should have Gravety Beauty. Niobe is of a period with your house, isn't it? It would be nice on the proposed bigger garage, it needs a good scrambling surface.

The Clematis cirrhosa "Balearica" that I thought had died is recovering from being turned inside-out; I need to prune the heck out of it and put it on the garden seat before much later; maybe tomorrow while I'm waiting for the paint on the inside of the chicken coop to dry, although I really need to attack the Ispahan rose so it won't ball; I've got about 3X the canes I need. I'm really looking forward to being able to free-range the chooks under the big roses to get the bedstraw and velvet grass down. Have to have a real coop for them instead of a no-door chicken tractor. I am seriously considering fencing off the narrow patio in front of the study window and keeping the hamburgs or banties of some sort there. I wonder what their relationship with Peonies would be?

I was in town clothes, ready to go off to a dental appointment and did not wish to hunt down the slug scissors.

The dental appointment was OK but got over after I should have eaten, and I was in chatty mode, got involved in a conversation with... OK, here's the deal: over my life I have several times fallen across crazy people on their birthday who *really enjoy* talking to me. Today it got me on the wrong bus, so once again I didn't make it down to the farm to take a photo of the new bull.

We all have our roles in life, I guess.

Talking to crazies on buses is a humane act. I remember one old guy on the NYC subway with tears in his eyes because I actually listened to him.

oh my gosh!! What a nice person!!

Niobe dates to 1975 or around there. Gravety Beauty would be period.
