Good Day "34"

I'm not peggy if that answer was for me....to much rain....go spread out and thin film of  screening over stuff...rain more likley to cascade down it, but enough gets through it waters plants sufficiently. Yeah, Manilla, Phillapines (sp?) is having 50 per cent of ther capital under water from the moonson season on top of an cyclone. Thing of today is stopping the "extremes" in the world here lately... as an "lightworker". Extremes were caused by thoughts an manipulations to begin with you know...Mother Nature always "balances" out but they can't understand how to do that for her..instead it's always an case of extremes one way or the other. I went landscape shopping also, because everything is on super good close out prices. So tomarrow I have an new flower bed to make out back. Hoep everything grows. Plants were pretty dry and I dipped them in my pond out front before taking them out back. Deep purple Lilacs for $5.98 each and pink small rhodenrons also. Picked up two lilacs and one pink "rhody" and some $1.99 mums. Hope to plant between them some Spring Tulips and Dafoldils later on. Once we make this flower bed, hubby can grass in the rest of the area.  I think as far as the monsoon season goes...they need better drainage plans  maybe. Perhaps they need to understand how the folks that live in Venice deal with an surplus of water.... they were fighting it some years ago that I do remember. Folks up in the west hills of Portland figured out how to keep there houses from sliding down the hills...they place plastic tarps on them and let the rain slide off it instead of being soaked into the ground...henceforth...stops landslides. Building decks with water drainage "gutters" off them also helps. Thomas Jefferson use to have his  deck water run off into an buried cisturn...and at the bottom had an spigot he turned on to water his terraced garden in the summer time when there wasn't enough water. Whole works gravivity fed. Your screening should be made out of metal and as fine as you can get it for optimum drainage as it rains. Lot of nursery people these days have "tube" like plant covers to protect thier nursery stock also...made out of plastic and wire Iguess. look like an half circle they just put if over the plants when needed. Helps if the weather is to cold also. Most of them have an end device for hooking up an water hose through the center of it for misting your plants with fertiler and water also. Easy as an snap to do. I think about my grandaughter at her age now versus myself...I had an full time job when I was her age all summer long weekly at an Nursery that hired school kids...our boss was the princpal at Contrell Grade School otherwise...the work ussually took us into weekends  in Sept ...mailing out his nursery products to his clients and then we were done for the season.  90 cents an hour back then, but it was still the minium wage of the day. I worked two Seasons...when I was 14 and 15 years old. I graduated by the time I was 17 years old as my birthday fell in June..and school was out by then. Most of us not working in local nurseries were out picking berries or green beans, harvesting of some kind...or babysitting younger kids. My God, our town sponosred the local county fair and we had to have money for that you know. Some of us worked booths at that also. Making elephant ears...curly fries and serving up ice cream cones.

Greetings and felicitations, one and all!

Related to an group by the name of Austin out here...though I thinkthey have some issues to deal with as to being relatives. Bookkeepers...kind of like being an banker in ways.

Good morning James....Rick. Hope things are going well for you. I'm trying to get myself up and going..I have an flowerbed to make and an grandson here at the moment.
