The only HOA violation I have ever had was for Sophie Kate in the pool (and get this I was the HOA President at the time, I am just a rebel like that and broke the rule). Has anyone ever used a service from Angie's List? I have floors sanded on Friday, I found the company on Angie's List and they were wonderful. Oh and the estimater has a Yorkie named Sophie, when he came over to do the estimate he spent more time petting my dog. Now I want to paint my garage door, I would love to do a color between aqua blue and seafoam green. |
Lmao! OMG how did you get in trouble then? You told on yourself? |
Lost my elderberry bush This was a 4yr old bush, but did not survive the harsh winter we had here. Hubby is now trying to saw off the two trunks of it. So sad, it was a mainstay in our garden. |

We had a bad freeze here last season and we lost a bunch of landscaping -- we thought we lost our big bougainvilleas - which we felt just terrible about, but they surprised us and came back, even though they looked absolutely dead. Another year, we lost 6 ficus trees!!! Now THAT was a huge loss to us - they were like 12 ft trees. |

I totally agree about the plants. I love to watch them grow little by little. I had so many herbs die already after they seemed to be doing so well, growing like crazy, and then the get all brown and crunchy. Wth? I got a new thai basil plant and a sweet mint, and a thai chile and serrano chile plant, repotted them into terracotta two days ago. They seem to be doing ok. The thai basil was three separate plants so I separated them into three different pots. I HOPE they make it!! Also we finally put our passiflora vines into pots. The first one I was trying to do myself, and when I was taking the plant out of the black plastic store container the root ball fell out and the stake came out, and I heard a bunch of the roots rip. :eek: I hope that one's ok too. The roots are so thin for such a thick bushy plant. |
I just started some basil and Thai basil from seed. One has sprouted already and I'm still waiting for the other. I guess I should have marked them because I don't know which one hasn't come up. The terra cotta pots seem to required more frequent watering than plastic since the pot absorbs water. When repotting into terra cotta I usually soak the pot in water for a couple of hours so it doesn't pull all the moisture from the soil. If it was t for my yorkies, I'd be the crazy plant lady! |

1 Attachment(s) Just bought an outdoor rug for our backyard seating area - kind of a terracotta color with other accent colors - so excited to get it! Hope it adds some "pop" while also making the outdoor area seem more cozy. I recently hung some cabana curtains out there and WOW, they made the hugest, most lovely addition to it! |
That is beautiful, I love the colors and the design. I have an outdoor rug that I use in my garage. I spend an unusual amount of time in my garage doing projects and Sophie Kate is always in there with me (we have a small Ex Pen down there that we use). Honestly I am thinking of getting an outdoor rug for my dinning room. It is very casual room and I want something that I can wash off with the hose and not have to have professionally cleaned everytime someone (me) spills something on it. |
I should add I love this thread, I am so glad there are other people who are as obsessed with their house. |

I was actually just reading how lots of people are now using outdoor rugs indoors bc of the very reasons you're saying. Quote:

It is for sure my own craft area, we have a huge garage and not enough cars to fill it so I keep on side for my "projects". Right now I have some things in there I am going to sell this weekend at our neighborhood rummage sale. You know like old treasures that I had to have but now can get rid of. I think the outdoor rug indoors is a great idea too, I dislike spending the money to have that dang rug cleaned about 3 times a year. I know I sound like a real pig and honestly I am, between spills and Sophie Kate thinking that rug is where she should place her food (she carries it from her bowl to that rug, give her a treat and she runs to that rug). |
