Last night was a hoot!

LOL.
In the evening I could hear 2 great horned owls talking to each other. Then, in the middle of the night I kept hearing a barred owl. :)

It's nice that you could tell the difference between the two! You must live near heavy woods.

Hi surya,

Yes, we have about 35 acres and alot of it is wooded. We love it! Last night the barred owl hooted all night again. I hope that means it might be planning on nesting around here. And if the Great Horned owls nest around here too, I hope they can get along!

Hmmmm.....I hadn't considered what to do by the time they are too big to tie, mad gallica. The problem is, not a whole lot of shrubs will fit those particular screening needs in small spaces. Have they stopped being recommended, I wonder? Brandon...we get lots of heavy snow most winters. This is my first winter with the Sky Pencil. I think I will be happier in the spring having it tied so it won't splay out. It was so easy too. Not having to tie it is one of the advantages of your zone and less snow, enjoy it. :-)

Off Topic- Missed Friends Last Night For My Last Shower!

I am definitely going to miss "Friends"!! Don't worry if you missed it on Thursday, the finale will be available on DVD Tuesday... weird! Anyway, I too am hopeful about the Joey show... usually spin-offs don't work, but Frasier did really well after Cheers, so it is possible! :) Anyway, Penny I hope that your shower was lovely and I'm sorry that you missed the end of Friends... we got lucky and decided to tell the TiVo to record an extra 5 minutes... good thing since we just barely got all of it that way! By the way, I'm pretty disappointed that Phoebe didn't marry Joey, but I guess they couldn't do that and have him have a spin-off! Oh, well... at least when she married Mike they didn't make it SEVEN Friends... -DuckyHead :)

Watched All My Children online last night

Are they talking about taking it to the internet? I would watch from time to time. Anyone could watch once a month and have no problem keeping up with the story lines. I've always wanted to say this... I think Susan Lucci is a lovely person, but she sure isn't much of an actress. LOL Patti - I also thought about "how shot JR". Funny! bb - Phoebe was one of my fav characters back in the day.

RedSun is right, soil temperature is important - you'll want to wait until the soil is 60F. Warm weather plants will just sit there and sulk until the soil warms to their liking. If the tomatoes are becoming pot-bound, them move them up to a larger container where they'll be more comfortable while waiting for the soil to warm up.

Wonderful! You get both worlds- peace/quiet and then the nearby towns/villages.

I love listening to Great Horned Owls. Just the other night, one was on our chimney calling. We were watching TV and our dog was so confused. You are really lucky to have so much land. We have only a small California style back yard.

Thanks everyone. Yes, I'm thankful every second for what we have. I just hope it isn't overrun with "growth and development" that everyone around thinks is so good.
But for now.........we have a place for the animals who have lost their habitat, and it makes me really happy. :)
