Castor bean giants

My castor beans LOVE the heat. They are a weed in Mexico. No green thumb needed for these. I canhide in them..hehehe

Tomatoes and dead grass

We cannot keep up with grass watering. Way too expensive to water the whole 3/4 acre. But the tomatoes are doing fantastic. They get the water.

The jungle still grows

 My gardens are loving all this heat. But then..I have a green thumb and it seems everythings grows for me.

Growing like weeds

IN spite of our heat wave, I have been able to keep things watered and they are looking pretty good. Not the jungles I will have in a month..but getting there.

 Now very big yet but the castor beans will take over by Sept.

 I love this combination of daisies and yellow Asian lilies growing around each other.

 Did you know I love yellow flowers?

 Fever few, red yarrow and lambs ear are a nice contrast.

Hair-The Donald's

Once again my curiosity ran wild. I again wondered about Donald Trump's hair. So I did some web searches. I found this pic and wondered if it is the true hair.

Personally, I think it is faked. Why? Cuz I really think someone with his billions would have hair transplants done and the best money could buy.

I also came across this link showing him thru the years.

Donald Trump-years

To me this show a guy that either wanted to be unique with his hair style, or he had a very smart mind that would let him cover up hair loss as he aged. Maybe he didn't know then he would be rich enough to buy hair...good hair. I also came up with this diagram on how he combs his hair.

Oh so much speculation on his hair. And surprisingly that he might run for President,,,his hair is again  more in focus than his campaign. Seems people are more interested in that than his platform. 

Personally, I don't think he has the experience for it. In my opinion he lacks knowledge in areas of military and foreign policy. But maybe he has it but never shows it. He didn't get to where he is today by being stupid...that is for sure.

And I found this link with video that shows once and for all..he DOES HAVE his own hair with the hairline to prove it. Proof to me anyway.

Proof of a hair line

It is only a year or so old too.

And finally....my opinion on how to fix the US.

Seems to me that The Donald, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Steven Hawking plus a few other deep thinker should be able to figure out how to get us out of debt and make every American better off and with health insurance. They show they have the brains to make money and to find the people to do what they need done.

Better yet...why is the President now asking for their advice?

Oh yea...running our country is complicated and more than I probably know, but...we do have the manpower...or I should say ...brain power...we just don't use it.

Wild Thang!

Actually a wild black hare hair. Now this is a strange thing. Let me start at the beginning.

This morning I was blow drying my hair and I noticed a black hair on my arm. I grabbed to take it off and thinking it  was from whatever,like maybe the neighbor's cat and got on my clothes  since it was jet black and course and sticking straight up on my arm.

WELL!!! Let me tell you I let out a yelp when I discovered it actually attached to ME! I ran to get my camera to get proof. I think it is growing on me. ROFL. pun intended and maybe I should name it. I even got a close up of it.

BTW, before you ask, the scar if from when I was a kid and rollerskating in a friends basement and  ran into the furnace.

And for those that have forgotten, you can click on any pic and bring it up full size.

The secret garden

There was an eye sore in my back yard. I tried  many different things and it always looked a mess. Finally last year I dug out everything and left it bald. Needless to say..weeds soon took over again. I didn't take many pics of it either. Here is one from 2009 and a bald one from 2010. In the first one you have to really look to see it cuz I hated that area.

But now..it is finally looking pretty good.  Now I am proud to take pics of this hidden area. A secluded corner easily forgotten for many years. I used to also have brambling, roaming, blackberry vines there too. Then I thought a nice mix of ground covers. Naw...always looked like a jungle. And now? Ahhh...a place to relax in.

Back yard newly weeded

Nice fresh beds in the back and the herb garden not overgrown..yet!

I really need to get a few plants for a few places, just not sure what yet.

This last one is the pool-less long back forty. No close up of the back gardens...too many weeds.

The jungles have started

Ah...finally rain stopped long enough to get thing planted. Soon it will be a jungle everywhere but for now...neatly contained.

I think these irises plain got tired. Seriously, a combination of wind, rain and the shade of the evergreens made them lean a bit too much.

Herb garden revamped

Now the herb garden got a make over too. I took out some I never used, like the sage and took out the pole in the middle of the raised concrete bed. The long pots on the lower right are gone now..they went to the plant exchange. Many cages are moved about too. But at least the bed is ready for planting. The cages keep the bunnies from eating stuff and also the squirrels from digging up newly planted things. They like the easy digging for their peanuts that the neighbors give them. I wish they would just eat them and not hide them...grrr... Bare now but in a few months...a jungle.

Naked pots

One day, when the rain stops, I will get these pots filled. I have revamped yet again the front gardens. I got new pots last  year and also decided to move the patio furniture to the front porch. I have more free time in later afternoon and evening and thought to get an umbrella for the back cuz it is in full sun then. While resting on the front porch one afternoon, I thought ..gee..if I had a table here I could bring my crochet out and then it hit me...move the table silly girl! Plus I could see better the comings and goings of the neighborhood. So now...the new front porch look.
