1999/2006 Building My Garden
I never did very much gardening other than basic lawn and shrubs before this home. I turned a weed-infested bermuda-grass-covered ugly clay rental yard into a nice retreat.
"My favorite yellow rose is "Cha-Cing". It's a Week's Rose. Biggest, boldest yellow blooms I've found so far. Also the only rose bush I had that bloomed all Summer, through the drought we're having here. I have it…"

Standard Wisteria
"What a beautiful combination! Nice flowers at the foot of it too. Yellow iris and blue lupines? Plenty of spring color here!"

"How fast you are to get such a beautiful shot! I have a hummingbird visit my Rose-of-Sharon too, but I can't even raise my camera fast enough! Great catch!"
KJSacramento, Zeric Zone 9 posted a status"Currently relandscaping while cleaning up a fallen tree - the long rains rotted the roots. Who knew plants would die from lack of drought!"

I have some pictures of it on my page. It is a repeat bloomer and very easy to take care of. The color does not fade. "

Pleasant Valley Iris Farm
"My photo doesn't quite capture the irridescent quality of this iris or the similar darker iris before this one."

Looking for the best deep yellow rose.
I have tried a few yellow roses and seen yellow roses of friends, all beautiful, but I have found them to lose color quickly, bloom scarcely, die quickly or lack resistance to insects and disease. I have yet to find one that remained deep yellow and attractive for any period of time unless they were part of a dual-color rose. I am not looking for a quick flush of beauty, but rather an ongoing statement - preferably a repeat bloomer. The deeper the yellow the better for me - no pale yellows…See More

Hey KJ: Pardon me for opining ,but you just had a great loss,you don't want to loss another pet.Have you thought of getting another girl birdie as a companion to him?It's NOT a replacement of course,just a new family.A new beginning? Try browsing around the local petshop,see how you feel.Or wait til you process your grief a bit.It's been my experience that hasty decisions during grief are usually regretfull.just a thought.Ooh!... I thought of another scripture I looove this one!
Psalm 42:5,8
"5 Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.8 By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life."There's more to it ,its beautifull,it blesses me.Thanks for the gift sweetheart.The Lord bless you:)

"Hi Cindi, glad you like them, but oh no. Most Bowling balls are much too heavy for me. I use those big foam balls from the craft store. Much lighter and easier to work with, and you can stick things in them. Put on a coat of adhesive grout…"
