3092. judithathome - 5/24/2005 11:17:47 PM I was just going to say that...about the fajitas.
Well, our ministering to the little bird paid off; today he hopped on the rim of the box and praciticed flapping his wings with the parents looking and encouraging him. And in about 45 minutes, after the mother had fed him a snack, off he flew! 3093. thoughtful - 5/24/2005 11:22:47 PM glad to hear the fledgling fledged.
speaking of the birds, there were more turkeys about...couldn't remember the term so I looked it up again (i hate getting old!)...it's a rafter of turkeys! 3094. Magoseph - 5/24/2005 11:51:36 PM Thanks, thoughtful.
We don't use the front door anymore because there's a nest right on top of the nightlight. Each time we used the door, the bird flew out--we feel we disturb its nesting. If people come over, one of us goes out by the back door to meet them. 3095. wabbit - 5/25/2005 6:22:42 PM Good news about the little bird, JaH, thanks for the update! 3096.

I see an animal of some kind. A swordfish?
3097. judithathome - 5/26/2005 5:43:32 PM Looks like an alligator to me...or a dragon. 3098. Magoseph - 5/26/2005 5:46:47 PM Yes, me too, I see a dragon spitting fire. 3099. thoughtful - 5/27/2005 6:43:36 PM Any suggestions for a non-mayo based salad that I can bring to a picnic on monday? I usually make a cabbage crunch salad...like a cole slaw with oil and vinegar dressing...toasted almonds and broken up ramon noodles for crunch.
But I'm kinda tired of making it...open to suggestions. 3100. judithathome - 5/27/2005 7:44:10 PM Three or six or nine bean salad...mix 'em all up and add Italian dressing or an olive oil/ balsamic vinegar dressing. 3101. PelleNilsson - 5/27/2005 8:24:50 PM Here is a quiz which I suspect is really, really easy.
What plants are these?
 3102. Marc-Albert - 5/27/2005 10:27:52 PM The one on top is one of those gawdy South African bulbs. I don't like those. The one at the bottom I like. It's a hoya. I've had one as a hanging plant for many years but it wouldn't flower because my apartment was not sunny enough.
It was a variegated hoya with splashes of cream on the thick leathery leaves and now and then young leaves in brigh red. 3103. Marc-Albert - 5/27/2005 11:01:56 PM I was looking for a picture of my deceased hoya but couldn't find any. Here's MaBelle on the balcony instead.
3104. judithathome - 5/27/2005 11:26:37 PM Cool..a variegated cat instead! 3105. Marc-Albert - 5/28/2005 12:15:04 AM Hehehe!
I presume the plants are Pelle's. He must have sunny windows to have a flowering hoya like that. 3106. Neato - 5/28/2005 8:19:37 AM Pelle's top plant is a clivia. 3107. Marc-Albert - 5/28/2005 11:16:36 AM  Its easy to find pictures of hoya carnosa, hoya bella, etc, on the web, but they all concentrate on the spectacular flowers. Here's one on a flowerless hoya that looked like mine.
3108. PelleNilsson - 5/28/2005 11:20:33 AM Yes, it is a clivia and a hoya. I had to look up hoya. We call them 'porcelain flowers'. Both plants are quite old, 40 years or so. 3109. Marc-Albert - 5/28/2005 11:26:43 AM I refused to call my hoya fleur de porcelaine as it never displayed a single flowerlet in its 10-year existence.
Another common name is wax plant. That, I could have used. 3111. PelleNilsson - 5/28/2005 3:56:37 PM Ours used to bloom profusely but the last few years it has been declining. It is probably dying, but slowly.
 3112. PelleNilsson - 5/28/2005 3:58:38 PM The missing #3110 is Mago's. She probably hit the wrong button.
