Today's cover shot: It doesn't matter where you are on the Oregon coast it's all photogenic.........
Tuesday.... Have a BODACIOUS one!!!!!!
Mr Ed, from last night...yes, the weather in Az beginning in Oct is very nice. I booked early as that is also the month the 'snowbirds' start their return, and the airlines raise their prices quickly.
Carol - Those DARNED 'snowbirds'!!!! There's also about a million more that clog the Az roads with their RVs, campers, & motor homes. ☺
Well, if it weren't for the 'snowbirds', my sisters business would be gone, so she's happy they are part time residents :)
Carol - I think it's great. It means that Oregon has a hundred thousand or so less on its roads! It amazes me how the snowbirds will drive all the way to Az & then just dry camp(no power, no tv, no water) on public lands out in the middle of the desert.
I didn't know they did that. The ones my sister deals with have lovely homes there and reside from Oct until March, then they leave for their other homes in the colder parts of the country. These people have money...don't think they would even think about 'dry camping) LOL, they're too used to luxury.
Carol - Now, that's MY kind of snowbirding!!!!!!!!! Where I saw the migrant RV camping was in the Quartzsite/Salome area. I was told there is a lot of it near Lake Havasu & is pretty common everywhere there are BLM lands.
I'll look for the campers, etc when I am in the shuttle.
Looking forward to a change in the weather tomorrow.
Found out my Purple Fountain Grass is a very tender perennial after talking with someone at Ptld Nursery yesterday. I was so disappointed until I Googled it and found that if in pots, it can be cut back in the Fall and taken indoors to over winter...otherwise they will not survive in our zone. I wish stores would make that info available to customers, there was nothing on the tag except the neutral wording about moisture and height. It's wrong to have plants for sale here when they obvious don't like our climes. We lost several plants after the front yard was re-done by supposed professionals. At least we both learned from those mistakes. All "landscapers" are not what they seem, but it was our first encounter with them so we were too trusting. Not now.
note: I was in Ptld Nursery to find 2 more of the Fountain Grass and didn't know the name, so described it to the person who was helping me and this how I found out about the plants. I ended up with 2 more Japanese Blood Grass plants, which is fine, at least they are hardy enough for this area.
bought those first 2 at Freddy's.
Carol - I didn't know Fountain Grass couldn't winter over here in the swamp. I've got a couple I've never had problems with. But, I always cut them back in the fall. I really like Fescues and Blood Grass. They have no problem with our winters.
Just a tip: If you have a plant that is sensitive to the cold, use loose straw as an insulator over and around the plants. If you need, you can keep it in place with a tomato cage.(or tie it up with twine) Just keep it loose and fluffy.
Carol - Oops! Forget what I wrote at 9:27 PM. I just realized that Fountain Grass is one of the plants I have to plant new every year because it doesn't winter over. I've been planting the Pink variety.
