Ever notice how some things  look even better
once you get them home and give them your
own personal touch?

  2. What a lovely view on a Saturday morning. Your touch is so elegant. Lot that you put it in the white pot.. just perfect in the morning light.

    Sun is shinning here, and I had a perfect Saturday Morning.. Son's family came to breakfast..That's what I called my post. The perfect Saturday Morning.

    Looks like both our days have nice beginnings.

    1. Yes, roses seem to do so well in the fall after the weather has cooled down!

      No dying allowed...not for at least another 100 years. :) Pat and I are living forever, so we'll send roses... lol....

    1. I noticed that the groceries are putting out the first of the flowering house plants. So smart of them...as it's hard to resist them when everything is dead outside! haha.

  8. Very pretty. I just wish I could keep those tiny rosebushes alive. Mine always die. I do much better with jade plants, unless I water them too much.

    1. mine usually get dust mites, but I read if you give their leaves a shower in the kitchen sink once a week, that will keep them away. So, we shall see.

      I just bought a new little jade. I love them! My last two were killed by some kind of fungus. yuck.

    2. Do the dust mites make the leaves fall off? I've never been quite sure whether I was watering them too much or too little. Maybe it was neither.

      Delete
    3. PS. Don't water the jade too much. They do good if you water them once a week or less.

      Delete
    4. yes...but before that the leaves look like they have white powder on them and sometimes a little layer that looks like a spider web. Then the leaves turn brown and fall.

      good tip on the jade..thanks!

    6. i tried them tonight
      Basically like eating nothing at your site
      They have no taste at all
      And are rather bland so can be taken or left at my hall

      Delete
    7. maybe we should rename them Blah Bean
      since they are so boring and green.
      hahahaha.
