Insomnia Thread...

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Too rainy and wet for a fire tonight, unfortunately. Heading back to London early tomorrow morning for the day, if we get a decent night's rest. Gonna try to get some shots of some aero-garden stuff so I can show you guys too.


Here's a half-ass shot I took this evening at the beach...





Gonna load some more pics for some more threads right now...

I just kind of don't like getting wet at all My friends tease me a bit about being "cat like" in many different ways. Maybe that's why I like cats so much. In fact, my one friend says that "Jordan won't like anyone unless they have a tail and cat ears" Aren't some people creative?

Back in fourth grade we had a swimming class, and this was back when my acid reflex and panic attacks first started. So you can picture the problem with feeling like you have the flu and having a panic attack about little things. And the teacher would take you to the deep end and shove you under water so you "got used to the water rushing over your face"..... Now I have panic attacks if someone tries to teach me how to swim. Yet another thing in life someone else has screwed up.

I think it is more of a "I just don't like water" type of thing though. I don't like the cold feeling or anything Hard to explain.... and there's too many people at the beach....

Do you need my address again? It's been a while sense we traded. Once it warms up again we will see what I can find you. Seedrack has more new stuff, or there's ebay/amazon, or a multitude of other places I know of I might accidentally get myself something to

I have enough chili to last a week! And my parents went to Red Lobster (the restaurant) and brought me back a couple dozen of the garlic cheese biscuit things.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Nope, I don't need your address, Jordan. I passed it on to Janan just recently.


Sucks about water but I guess it's just not your thing.


Gonna post in a birthday thread, then hit the hay soon. Hope everyone has a great sleep.

Good morning everyone. I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday

[jreidsma]

I figured that was how Janan got it

The video cards on craigslist weren't the right ones. They weren't strong enough for my needs.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Good afternoon, people!


So I was at the beach today of course...





It started to rain so I came back to the cottage. It's sunny again now though so I thought I might return for a bit. I have pics to load later and show you guys.


Hope everyone's enjoying their Thursday so far.

Good afternoon everyone. I had another plumeria seedling sprout today. Its called #4646 lol. I also wanted to show an updated pic of my first plumeria seedling. I lost a few seeds unfortunately but at least I'm adding another plumeria plant.

[Willow87]

Those waves are so beautiful! I wish it would rain here. I think there is a slight chance today behind a cold front. I think I could sit on that beach all day looking at the waves lol

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Looking good, Cam. Love Plumeria plants.


I love the waves too. They're too gorgeous...











Here's the front entrance of our cottage...





: )

[Willow87]

Your cottage is so pretty. I love the mums.

[jreidsma]

Very cool pictures

For some reason I was picturing the cottage as being some sort of wooden cottage like people have out in the forest

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Too funny Jordan, that you thought I was in some old broken-down wooden shack!!! We probably burn enough wood to build one of those shacks, each night on our campfire!


Nope, this is a fully furnished white picket fence house. Even has a sunporch which you can see in this picture...





Thanks, about the mums I got for us to celebrate Autumn...





Here's our little PT Cruiser that's excellent on gas...





The weather turned stormy today and I got some pics...








Love the waves crashing on the rocks...








More shots to load. So who's around tonight?

Good Morning Gang!

What a charming cottage Sherry! No wonder you are having the time of your life with such a nice place to stay - let alone right on the beach with all that gorgeous scenery.

Still no rain for me though south of Austin in San Marcos, had a down pour last night. It is supposed to be cooler today and the weather man is saying no more triple degree days until next year. I hope he is right. I have a ton of plants that I need to clean dead leaves off - I had left them on to protect the pups somewhat. I have so many I will probably be busy most of the day. I want to get started fairly early this morning while it is still in the 70's. Fall is my favorite time of year.

Greg was able to get the killer raccoon finally. It killed 7 of my chickens before my hit man got him. I hate having to do that, but it was that or continue to lose my chickens one by one.

Well, I am off to trim my plants! Maybe I can take some pretty pictures of them when I am done.

Have a great Friday, everyone!!!!

Good morning everyone Janan it rained for 30 mins here, the sad thing is that despite the thunder and the soaking rain, you couldn't even tell it rained here last night. The power went out for 10-15 mins too. I hope we are done with the hot weather too. I think the weather pattern may change next week which means rain here. I hope that's right. This year has been really brutal. I'm sorry to hear about your chickens. I found 3 more plumeria sprouts this morning. I decided to bring them indoors since its going to be very cool the next several days. I'll put them back outside when the temps warm up during the afternoon.

[Jananas Bananas]

Hi Cam! Even though you haven't gotten a lot of rain it is so much more than I have had at my house.

Just watched a coyote running down the fence line this morning. I didn't have my camera or I would have tried to take a picture. They eat chickens too, but we know it was the raccoon because he was caught red handed.

Those plumeria sprouts are so cute. Are those in your floating tray coming up too? That one little plumeria looks just like a big one only tiny. I love seeing sprouts come up!

Well, I trimmed about a dozen bananas this morning. But I am done for now. I slept wrong last night and have a crick in my neck going down into my shoulder and it became very painful, so I didn't trim as many plants as I wanted to. ~J

[Willow87]

Hi Janan, I guess I should be thankful I got some rain. My mom said she even heard hail and I can see a little hail damage on some of my plants. I've seen so many coyotes around here and some are very large. I've always been afraid to go outside during the early morning or early evening hours.
I love seeing the little plumeria sprouts because they look like little succulents. I planted the ones floating in water in soil and I found more albino seedlings. Those usually don't make it, but I'm giving them a chance. I was only successful with 4 plumerias out of 20. A friend is sending me some more and I'm going to try planting them in cactus soil and there is another germination method by using wet paper towels folded in a baggie. So I may try that method too.
I miss my bananas, but I told my mom if she could get me a couple next year. I couldn't believe how many plants I lost this year, especially my established cannas that I've had for several years. I hate getting cricks in my neck and luckily I haven't experienced one in a long time

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks, Janan. Yeah the scenery is what's kept me here so long. It's just too gorgeous.


Here are some recent shots...

















Love this shot I took today though...





I have some pics for the aero-garden thread that I took when we went back to London the other day. The truth is I have many shots of many things, but I need to load them. Since I'm bilking internet service from the owner, it's not as fast, and sometimes I get kicked offline without notice. That's why things are slow. Loading videos is especially difficult but I'm still trying because I have a bunch of cool clips to show.


Wow, sorry to hear about your chickens, Janan! Glad Greg got the little bugger though. Now your chickens can live in peace.


Chat soon gang...

I didn't mean a broken down shack I meant one of the nicer wooden houses. There's some very nice ones around here

We got a lot of rain yesterday and still ongoing today. The ran is good, but bad when you have to walk across multiple schools during th day to get to your classes, while carrying a Ipad the school gave you to use....

By albino you mean the white ones right? They don't grow the needed chlorophyll, any at all or maybe not enough. I was thinking one night that it would be cool if there was some sort of way to inject the glucose they make in photosynthesis, because when their white they can't produce enough. One of my crazy ideas

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Of course I was exaggerating, just for laughs. Too funny.


In the middle of loading some pics...

[jreidsma]

If you are looking for wooden shacks theres plenty of them to

Cool pictures

I will be back in a little while. Going to the seed store to pick up some stuff for some trades I am doing.
