I actually found it kind of fun too. Already led me to read some interesting forums I normally would never have looked at. I guess that's the idea. It's working.

I have some spurge in the yard that the stems turned red for fall, like that in the background of your pic. Here's my last rose pic, from the 5th. Clotilde is still putting out a few blooms though we've had some pretty heavy frosts.

That is such a beautiful Clothilde. She never opened her flowers here, unfortunately.

I hadn't noticed the "recent postings" on the right hand side. Thanks for pointing it out......Maryl

either I'm blind or the big Exxon ad at the top is hiding the "recent postings" on my screen.

pat_bama, it's not at the top. scroll your page all the way over to the right ->
it's right under the brussel sprouts.

thanks hoov, she does pretty good here considering my humidity. sometimes when it's been dry she really opens up and fills out looks totally different.

I see it now...thanks!

I like the new postings feature too! I wish it was higher up on the page though! And it would be nice if they listed 20 posts rather than just 8!

My mother grew roses. I'm lucky they didn't poke my eye out when I was a little kid racing around the yard.

g2g, thanks from me too! I thought maybe I was blind, or there was something wrong with my login. I had decided at work today to log out, reboot, and log back in. I'm glad I checked in first! But I wonder where the Christmas trees went? I liked those too!
