My wife wants to sell out, and go get a condo on the beach in Florida. She says I would never have to do maintenance, or mow, or fix, again. I admit it is beginning to sound good, but I am afraid if I go live around people I will murder someone that aggravates me and have to go to jail. :-(Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-68224583960485949372017-07-06T16:42:03.569+09:302017-07-06T16:42:03.569+09:30Such a lot going on at your place, it puts me to s...Such a lot going on at your place, it puts me to shame!

I think he may be a little confused with our climate. We have had a tiny bit of rain overnight to freshen everything up.<br /><br />I can imagine that it would be hard to do anything in the hot humid weather you are having. That kind of weather drains your energy. We have it here occasionally and it is Blah!<br /><br />So great to hear from you.<br /><br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-88798130834678741362017-06-29T08:54:17.167+09:302017-06-29T08:54:17.167+09:30Thank you Alexa.

I love those ...Thanks for the great Lizard picture. I love those guys. When I was a kid, I had a pet horned toad that lived in his little tank for many years. His name was "Pistol Pete." That was in the late 1950's. We don't have lizards here in North Georgia, other than skinks. But my daughter has "exotic" lizards like bearded dragons, up at her place in the North. I always send her the pictures you post of Australian lizards, as she is a great fan of them.<br /><br />Your place always looks so nice. So well ordered. My wife is up with my daughter this summer, and I am struggling to keep everything squared away here. At my age, I can work a few hours out in the heat and humidity, and then I have to stay inside where it's cool and dry.<br /><br />Thanks again for the picture of the lizard, Tania.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-22376331640539607052017-06-28T22:59:15.657+09:302017-06-28T22:59:15.657+09:30Tania.

The planning bit was a little off putting, but when I actually sat down and did it, it wasn't so bad. I have never been as observant of nature as I am now. I knew about permaculture, but never knew how good it is! The more I learn the more it makes so much sense...<br /><br />I read that weeds are designed to pop up where little else grows. Like a fill in plant to help hold the soil together. Where there is a blank space a weed will grow, how sweet is nature's design :)<br /><br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.com
