I'm not being critical. Except for the hunting I'm guilty of destroying the deer's habitat too, I just think a few hostas and such are a small sacrifice to make in an effort to get along with animals and nature.<br />I love the cherry pitters.Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544034656423752886.post-57248258865130138842012-07-02T12:37:24.889-04:002012-07-02T12:37:24.889-04:00Hi Linda...Winter has just begun to bark at the de...Hi Linda...Winter has just begun to bark at the deer. Before she would turn tail and run into the house.<br /><br />Hi Barbara....Summer isn't summer for us without morning glories. I think the idea was that one or two beers could be included as liquid intake!<br /><br />Hi Michele....bugs, Bugs, Bugs! I have the Safer's and Bt in use. So annoying to see all your hard work go to the bugs.<br /><br />Hi Peter...I forget that you are going into your cold season now. I love the idea of Ginger sitting down to drink his water; it's so dignified. Stay warm and dry!<br /><br />Hi Patti...Don't know if it would work with plums....you would need a larger area to balance the fruit I would think. It's 82F here but the humidity dropped last night. Very pleasant in the shade.<br /><br />Hi Gary...BAD DEER! Get out the chili pepper and put it on all your stuff. Right now I am making a strong solution of jalapenos that I got cheap. I dilute and spray it....not so sneezy as powder!smartcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430370214403895826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544034656423752886.post-70567739338323751362012-07-02T08:13:00.228-04:002012-07-02T08:13:00.228-04:00yeah, bambi ate our hostas too :(yeah, bambi ate our hostas too :(Gary's third pottery bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517401528128108791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544034656423752886.post-53114720197788328562012-07-02T06:56:43.044-04:002012-07-02T06:56:43.044-04:00Dang, wish I had seen that pitting trick before I ...Dang, wish I had seen that pitting trick before I froze my plums with pits still in them.

The day s...I am writing this shivering just a bit. The day started at -6 Centigrade (21.2 F) and it is not a great deal more inside our place. Your swimming pool antics (departing the water by bouncing!!), reminds me that I looked at our Ginger cat's water pot this morning, and the ice had curved up into a dome shape that was impossible for me to break. He insists on drinking outside from a pot that is about 1 foot high. It is nice for him, because he can sit down to drink, and look at the view at the same time. Now I'll have to get some boiling water to work... or vodka! The cherry pitter is really ingenious. <br />I'll try to avoid "staying cool", but I will remember to drink lots of liquids..., hot ones!<br />Best Wishes, PPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544034656423752886.post-58540988573342806032012-07-01T11:17:46.720-04:002012-07-01T11:17:46.720-04:00the cherry pitter idea is so very cool.

I was thinking of morning glories this morning too. Don't have any, and miss their bright blue good mornings. The time I had heat stroke at a crafts show in FL was due to drinking just beer. I learned my lesson. I'm a water gal now!Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544034656423752886.post-66824272168088529342012-07-01T10:03:16.451-04:002012-07-01T10:03:16.451-04:00Dual purpose is cool and you are so lucky your dog...Dual purpose is cool and you are so lucky your dog chases the deer away.
