@Labelboy I'm happy for you!
I pray that your health is restored for good!
Today, I spread diatomaceous earth around the back yard perennial gardens. The slugs are just going crazy! Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some giant slugs hiding amongst the hostas!
Yuck!! The bugs are just horrible too, this year! The daylily leaves are really taking a beating!!
I think that the worst culprits are earwigs, here, and they are elusive little stinkers and hard to kill!
Plus, earwigs are just about the creepiest insect, in my mind!!
If any of you commercial daylily outfits/hybridizers have any suggestions on earth-friendly 'bad insect' control, I . am . all . ears!! (So to speak
)
Oh, I forgot! I gifted some daylilies to the jerkwadd's girlfriend, on the other side of the fence. With his help, she is tearing out the ex wife's perennial gardens and starting all over!!
It's a lot of work, but she has youth on her side!!
...after all, she *is* 20 years his junior!!
(.....actually mine, too
) She had expressed to me that she doesn't want "the typical yellow and orange daylilies", and, well, I just *had* to enable and spread the Daylily Love! After all, it *is* our mission!!
She is quite the opposite personality of his ex... very, very aproachable, nice, and very outgoing.
........and he is growing on me, slowly!
so there is hope for complete peace with him! After all, that's all we humans ever want, right?
Funny thing, yesterday, while we were talking, he grabs a beer for himself and while cracking it open, she yells "Hey where's mine?!" So after he came back out with her beer, he asked me if I wanted some water. I politely said no, and later in the conversation, I told him that I didn't like beer at all, and I would use a cup half full of beer as a decoy, at college parties, so I didn't have drunk people constantly hounding me to get more beer for myself. Then he said that they have plenty of wine, and I said, "Well, let me just bring over a 5 gallon bucket!"
He then looked at me and said, "Really?! I didn't figure you as 'the type'!", and I thought to myself, "I may be Catholic, and I asked him to not say the "F" word around our girls, (It's every other word with him, which is disturbing to hear, on a personal and moral level, so often in conversation!
) but I'm not dead, for crying out loud!!
(I hope this doesn't offend anybody, as I'm fully aware that alcohol is strictly prohibited, in certain denominations, and I have nothing but respect for all denominations! Additionally, some have had horrible a experience with an alcoholic friend or family member, and my intent, here, is not to offend at all!!
Sinners, we Catholics are, and we undeniably live in glass houses! Anyway, I thought it to be quite humorous, bc *specifically* what 'type' they sized me up as, I'm not completely sure! Not that I care! "greengrin:
I am pretty certain that he and the ex thought me to be a prude, and then when I said a swear word (not the "F" word, mind you!
), during an argument between the three of us, the ex called me a hipocrite, and I said, "I go to church *because* I'm a sinner!" (among many other reasons)! Yes, I am completely guilty of saying that word, but I have to be *so* angry, under completely extenuating circumstances, that I'm spitting nails, before it shamefully spews out of my mouth, not to excuse it, by any means!
but it isn't used as every other word, either!
He also sells Mahindra tractors. Keeps him busy because he was bored with retirement.
