3604. thoughtful - 2/15/2006 10:45:56 PM pretty orchid...phoebe is blooming now...have to take a picture.
always amazing to me how such an odd looking plant as an orchid can sport such incredibly beautiful blossoms. 3605. prolph - 2/18/2006 9:12:52 AM shortly before Thanksgiving I looked around my bedroom and
dressing room and decided they were getting grungy. So I chose some nifty fabrics which shorrly turned into curtains and the chose new cabinets and countertop for dressing room. I used to favor small sports
cars and got used to hearning that a part was coming on the water.
Same thing seems to afffect cabinets which arrived this week.
Tomorrow there will be a tearout amd them caninnet instaalation
and then another wait for measuring and installing counter.
Right now everything is covered with egg shells but I have some
faith that I will end up with an omelet. But no urge to redecorate any thing else for a while. every thing has its bugs. Patsy 3606. thoughtful - 2/19/2006 5:22:37 PM Phoebe's blooming:
 3607. PelleNilsson - 2/19/2006 7:29:10 PM Very nice picture, thoughtful.
Here is something more depressing.
A bleak view to the west...
...and equally bleak to the east...
... and you wonder about the Swedish suicide rate. 3608. wonkers2 - 2/19/2006 8:45:15 PM Vanderbilt Family Values. 3609. Magoseph - 2/19/2006 10:05:29 PM 
3610. wonkers2 - 2/19/2006 10:08:01 PM She was an unusual woman who led an interesting life. Not bad looking either! 3611. Magoseph - 2/19/2006 10:13:26 PM Her mother was quite extraordinary, considering her origins. Consuelo was her master piece. 3612. ronski - 2/22/2006 10:54:44 PM Nice phals, nice snow scenes. 3613. ronski - 2/22/2006 10:57:26 PM 
Catt with cat. Or vice versa.
3614. PelleNilsson - 2/22/2006 11:28:36 PM Well captured but too much contrast. 3615. Jenerator - 2/23/2006 12:12:30 AM The flash just overexposed it.
Still, I like it that the cat is softly out of focus in the background. 3616. thoughtful - 2/23/2006 12:14:26 AM Beautiful. 3617. Magoseph - 2/23/2006 1:28:16 AM I should admire the orchid, but I love the pinkish rusty beige colors of the cat and the cherry wine color of the table. I wonder if the cat jumped down after the photo was taken--it seems to gauge whether it’s possible. 3618. Ulgine Barrows - 3/3/2006 1:29:21 PM Ick. Orchids. 3619. arkymalarky - 3/5/2006 6:39:16 PM Alistair, or anyone else here who's had experience with organic gardening, wine making, or anything else organic, if you can provide any basic info, good websites, organizations, etc, I need input.
Bob's come into some land--not to own, but to use--and he's looking into doing some organic farming with it, and also growing muscadines and making the wine himself. Since the land is rent-free and he has farming equipment, what he's looking at is materials, seed, and plant suppliers, regulations for selling organic produce, etc, and good websites with basic info that aren't hokum or trying to sell something. 3620. arkymalarky - 3/5/2006 6:40:37 PM And we have a nice big cellar for storage. 3621. arkymalarky - 3/5/2006 6:44:34 PM Hey, the pictures are loading!
Gorgeous orchids!
And cat. 3622. Magoseph - 3/5/2006 6:47:46 PM Muscadines, the bronze and purple fruit... 3623. arkymalarky - 3/5/2006 6:51:45 PM They grow wild out here, but people also grow them on frames and muscadine wine is very popular in the South. My uncle in TX makes good muscadine wine. People around here pronounce them muskeedimes.
