So far, of the ones you've mentioned, the climbing hydrangea is the only one I would consider, because of the thug like behavior of the others. And definitely a trellis, so it only looks like it's on the house!

M&M

Me, too!

M&M

Jingling!

Call it a sabbatical that included writing a book. Or you could say that the health of a family member caused you to need a job with a lower level of responsibility/greater level of flexibility, and that person's health issue is now resolved, leaving you free to return to a career job. No need to sa...

I agree with Boots, although I don't think I would have picked up on it myself. The back legs look like they are coming out of the same hole.
As far as the technique goes, I don't love these, but I think it has huge potential.

M&M

I'm very much in favor of personal responsibility, but I don't think that sign was adequate. Common sense - these people were from very, very far inland. And, as Alex said, the child could have been just near the water, and the same thing could have happened. Common sense and thinking, to me, means ...

M&M

I agree. I probably would have been putting my feet in the water.

M&M

How horrible. I am sorry, Khall.

M&M

Chance, is your present company looking like it's going under? I assumed you were looking just because. Meanwhile, it's Saturday morning, an hour before I need to go anywhere or do anything, the weather is absolutely perfect, and I'm on my porch drinking coffee, and checking in on my peeps on FB and...

Does anybody besides me remember "Sir Thomas Thom of Appledore, the Knight Whose Armour Didn't Squeak"?

M&M

NWIvy, this is a smaller community than UDBB was. I think it's highly likely that lots of people don't remember you/your horrible accident. I wouldn't be offended by a minimal response!

And welcome back!

M&M

I don't disagree with the Viscountess, but if possible, deal with it by having officials remove BF. Try not to remove your son. It's hugely important for kids to feel protected, and God forbid, believed and validated if anyone messes with them - ask me how I know. But it's also important to let a ki...

Wonderful post, Fergus. I can't wait to hear the massage story.

M&M

You definitely earned a glass this size...

Great thread title, by the way.

M&M

I'm not wanting to put either of you on the spot, but I'm assuming you and Helygen PMed and it didn't work out? I would hate to have you not check out her horse because of his size. I'm not looking for details about why you don't want him!

M&M

At least I got beat out by someone I "know"!

M&M

Awesome!

M&M

I'm sorry, Mountaineer.

M&M

The two possibilities are that they want to know if you are at work, or they want to know that you are NOT at home. I'm sorry you are going through this, and I'm very glad you are going to the police. Hopefully, they can offer real help.

M&M

Awesome story, gorgeous photos!

Green coffee beans can be bought at a wonderful coffee store in Keene, NH.

M&M

But I'm curious about the part about now knowing why you hate most coffees - tell us why!

M&M

I voted none of the above. I am a non-bling person, but I do agree with StraightForward - on a grey, I think you need colored bling, not clear/crystal bling.

M&M

Sell him, schmell him. Every little girl needs a palomino foal. How old would she be when he was ready to be ridden?

Also, this is the first time, I've seen photos of your daughter - lovely! How is her riding coming along?

M&M

OMG - she found her outer gorgeous!

And you sound like a great horse mom.

M&M

I tip the owner (20%) for two reasons. Although I also believe that one isn't expected to tip the owner, as a person who has often worked in a tipped position, it feels weird not to do so. The other reason is that whenever I covered the bar at my restaurant, people always tipped me, knowing I was th...

I would definitely report them to the Board of Realtors.

M&M

She is gorgeous!

M&M

Rockabilly, you impress me. Being open to change one's mind is a beautiful thing, and it takes courage.

M&M

But the looking out your window is something that not all horse owners get to enjoy. We all get to enjoy the hay eating sounds.

I used to frequently house sit where my horses lived. It was a great second best!

M&M

It sure is. And what a great note from the vet.

When Sparkleby checks in (is that her DDBB name?) I bet she'll know exactly what the vet was talking about.

M&M

I do understand the pangs of leaving your old barn. I definitely get the impression from your post that you'll only turn down the new barn if there's a quality reason to do so, not out of hesitating to leave the old. But, as you say, you're leaving home, and there has been a whole lot of good there ...

M&M

Just a PS to Alex's post above - you don't want to add topsoil around trees.

You see lots of trees with beautiful mounds of mulch around the trees - it's not nice to the trees. They don't like it.

M&M

I planted 4 hellebores under a tree. Two thrived, one limped along, and one didn't make it. I also had heuchera and hostas around the same tree, so those things do seem to like the same conditions. (The last 2 h's thrived!)

M&M

Well, that is too bad, but yes, I would keep trying.

M&M

And don't forget bungee cords. They can be your friend, and in a small horse operation, they aren't aggravating. I had three horses, and used metal cans and bungees.

M&M

Flight, any news?

M&M

I am surprised that they can tell angry faces from photographs.

M&M

True dat!

M&M

So who all did I miss? Wicky, I was thrilled to hear you were going to be there - until I found out I couldn't go.

M&M

It's been a long journey for you, Horsepepsie. Congratulations on being back in the saddle!

M&M

It can wait, but I think it's a lovely idea!

M&M

Jingling, Shirrine!

M&M

Jingling. I'm sorry.

M&M

...it's almost February. What a great second chance he got.

M&M

He's great! What is he?

M&M

Great post!

M&M

Bad, bad, unremorseful doggy.

What would you be using it for?
