is this black and blue salvia. It is gorgeous and hummingbirds love it, so it's really great if red doesn't work with your colors but you want hummingbirds. Bumblebees love it too. I have it in part shade between the house and my winter daphne bush. No other support needed, but it's about 30 inches tall its second year in this raised garden facing south.

God bless you guys with a green thumb. I CAN grow plants but just don't have the time to get out there and do it. No excuse either, I have no children. Guess I'm just not garden oriented. MIL lived here before so she planted beautiful flowers that are still flourishing, but I end up making my own mix for the hummingbirds. Ours will not touch the red store bought feed.
We use red feeders with the yellow flowers, preferrably with a roosting or resting stem. Ours like to sit a while, while some flutter around. I mix 1 cup sugar with 3 cups water. You can bring this to boil and let cool or you can heat 1 cup in microwave, add sugar and stir to melt and then add 2 cups of icewater (including the cubes). Always 3:1 though. If I alter this they won't eat. I make sure to wash and change feed every 3 days, if it happens to last that long. Mine feed mainly in the early morning and late evening but they will eat throughout the day. They are all over this stuff. The other day one stopped about a foot in front of my husbands face just looking like...where are you going with that? There will be up to 15 at a time fluttering around we have definitely seen more. These are some friendly little birds we have. You can hold the feeders out at arms length and they will come and eat. We have actually filled our mouth with the sugar water before and held a plastic flower and they will come and feed.
I looked up the hummingbird cake it looks
I have to try it after I lose these holiday pounds LOL
How about zone 8
...
They will soon have a zone designated for this.
FARTING ZONE!!! CAUTION!!!
sorry, you must be in a different time zone from me (sm)
My mother used to heat towels and that helped. You can use sweet oil (which is olive oil) in her ear, warm it a little first (not hot) and give her Motrin.
No noise at all. Can't get into 'the zone' with other

agree. I was rased in a battle zone -
it scared the crap out of me and it was daily. To this day, I aim to please (him) to keep the peace, and never achknowlede what I might want. If there is an argument - I end up doing it like my parents...poorly.
When my parents finally split, I remember life being calm and I didn't live in fear anymore.
I found if I watch the Twilight Zone marathon, I

I agree. I posted below about living in the battle zone -
If my parents would have had counseling, I might have been given a better example of how to disagree constructively and carried that forward in my life. Counseling is for getting through anything, you name it. Divorce too.

Red, white and blue . .
Found them on Netflix and added them to my que - can't wait.
I also have a blue heeler mix. sm
Actually two (I think) the younger one is a bit of a hound dog. Both of mine are spoiled beyond belief. But, aren't pets to be spoiled? I have no children so my dogs are my babies. Dog spelled backward is God. Wonder why? Cute baby you have there. What is his/her name?
Look at those BLUE eyes!
Oh wow! I don't think I've ever met a dog with blue eyes before! They are beautiful!
Giants' blue
You know what confused me? I have always, always seen the Giants in blue, and to see them in a different color just rocked me! And then, of course, the coach was wearing the regular blue jacket, which was even more confusing! We were halfway through the first quarter before I stopped automatically looking at the blue jerseys to be the Giants!
Maybe not out of the blue. Maybe just finally had

My jeans are never blue and
I only wear black Gloria Vanderbilt, wonderful bit and look, have to look hard to even associate with real jeans.

Black and blue toe - broken??
Ok, so I was walking from my daughter's room to my room last night and had this sharp pain in my 2nd toe on my left foot. I just shook it off as it didn't hurt that bad, but I woke up this morning and my toe is all bruised up with dark purple and redish shades on the bottom half. It doesn't really hurt unless I put direct pressure on it, but do you think this could be broken? Obviously, I would need an x-ray to know for sure, but does anyone have another explanation for why this would happen. I went ahead and buddy-taped it just in case and will continue to monitor for any changes, and will probably go to the dr on Monday if it gets worse, but this is just weird as it doesn't really feel broken??

School is out this Friday and my 2 kids will be home and I have to start getting up earlier and working in the early, early morning and late evenings!

know what they call blue herons in KY?
shite pokes - ex born and raised there - could not figure out what he was seeing until I saw them too. Quite common even in city.
Feeling kinda blue . . .
I want to rent some funny movies to have a good laugh and try to cheer myself up - any recommendations greatly appreciated. TIA.
Have a bad experience today? Why this out of the blue?
Guess what.. when all of our ancestors came here (except for Native American and British countries) they all spoke other languages and then learned English. So big deal. Who are "they" and why are you appearing so racist here? IMHO we should all be bilingual. In Europe the schools require children in school to learn English as well as their language, and many people speak multiple language. Some of our own children in the US can't even speak English and they come from English speaking homes. So, what's with the comment here? What are you really trying to start some kind of bigoted conversation? Yes, this is America. Learn English. But nothing wrong with speaking Spanish too. Or Indian. Or Chinese or anything!
I had blue screen errors sm
Turns out my memory in my computer was corrupted, then I took it out and they sent new memory and turns out the motherboard went bad, so it had to be replaced. Might be your motherboard, hope its under warranty! But try removing the memory from under your computer.
Blue Screen for Vista
1 - First Check for the Vista updates.
2 - See your power settings, like auto turn off hard drives, monitor, hibernate, sleep etc.
The blue ear syringe shoots the saltwater up into your sinuses better. You have to have your face facing down in the sink and just do one side, then another, etc. I add goldenseal to my water and occasionally some colloidal silver. Never breathed better. I was hospitalied 3 times in 2 years with asthma exacerbation caused by sinusitis, following sinus surgery which I am so sorry that I had. I didn't know how horrible and worthless sinus surgery was. Never ever ever let anybody have that surgery.. it is awful and pointless. Love the sinus irrigation though. It really works.
Know the southern mansion Blue Willow
and we have been there before. Lovely, all you can eat place, reasonable but their food still is not as good as what I can get here at my home. To pay and still have substandard food is not acceptable to me. I do not know how places stay in business. I can count on 1 hand the places where food is tasty and ? good for you also.
I was in a wedding with deep blue dresses.
We had the shoes dyed to match the dress from David's Bridal. They have a big selection of styles to pick from and then you dye them, relatively cheap too.
were the most facinating to me, very majestic...the wingspan on the herons is gigatic! We also have seen a family of wild turkeys recently and always cardinals here in KY. When I lived on the south shore of Long Island in NY there sandpipers, terns and egrets and one winter there was a snowy white owl (like on the old cigar boxes). The seagulls get a little loud though. The birds are a real pleasure...
Melinda - humble, honest, what the world needs now - she is true, you can tell, nothing phony about her, need some good, old fashioned modesty, perhaps she will set a trend, I hope so!!! She is phenomenal - makes me cry, she is so not affected!!!
Russell Crowe was recently interviewed. Here's what he had to say...
As for the future lessons he'll teach his boys about the opposite sex, Crowe says, "Look, when it comes to women, you are talking about mysteries that haven't been unraveled by the wisest scholars of all time. I'm not going to be able to do that. But I can teach my sons to respect them."
