I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Morning all

Well its morning here. Have been reading about the voting in the US- I just can't understand your law makers sometimes. I can't understand ours at times but they are qnite sane in comparison.

About Bumble Bees - DH's company actually breds them. They use them in the glass houses because bees don't like glass houses and a couple of years ago the person who supplied the bumble bees was in financial trouble they decided to buy them out and bred there own and now supply lots of places.

With ordinary bees we are also to blame because we are not growing the flowers they like such as lavendars, budleia etc. Our gardens are too pristine for the bees. i must say that this past summer I have had lots of bees in the lavendar.

Any way I am smiling cause I have just spoken to my babies in Canada. Said it has been a hot day in Oakville. Poor DD arrived there and got pnuemonia but does look better today thankfully.

In my last two houses I always tried to grow things that bees (and butterflies and hummingbirds) would like.  Even so, for a few years there we hardly ever saw a bee - the last year or two they seemed to be making a comeback.  No matter which of the two houses we get, I'll for certain be planting some bee friendly plants - not so much in the one in Tacoma (small yard).  We'll probably keep the grass in the front yard, but I'll be doing away with the grass in the back.  I'd much rather have herbs and flowers than grass!!!  There's also a fair amount of hardscaping, so containers will be my friends.

No matter which house we get I'll be happy.  I just want the searching over so that I can get on with planning and move forward for retirement. 

GG....fingers crossed.  The house looks so neat and tidy along with the front yard.  At least some changing or updating would likely have to happen anywhere.

Blue....loved everything you put in today...along with the dresser.  I once saw in a magazine and they were so very tiny.....a real old travel trailer which had been re-done as a potting shed.  It was really delightful.  Made me drool so much but I"m beyond all that now.  Still if someone had an old fashioned travel trailer that they didn't know what to do with........a nice project would be at hand and you would end up with something so useful.

Alyson I am getting a kick out of the description of your and our government/lawmakers.  You are right....far too many here are not only not sane, and many are so stupid, along with those who can't empathize at all.  Quite the enormous mess.  I hope 2014 shuffles a many of them out to the curb where they belong.

Unfortunately, no ridgetop and no view. Real estate agents are great at taking deceptive pictures! I miss seeing the mountain and valleys every day, but wanted smaller and cheaper. So... what we get I'd what we get. If you stand in the middle of the street you can see the top half of the narrows bridge.



For sure we will get either this house or the one In Olympia. I don't care which, but know that hubby far and away prefers this location.. I know that if we get this one I can retire on time. I like that!

Sunny, it looks like Markey has it in the bag. 

NBC just called it for Markey.  *WHEW!*

Happy Dancing in MA  Looks like he'll win it by at least 10% of the vote.

Congratulations Mass!

Blue - yummy, that's what I want for breakfast - and to pick each of the little bits off the top b4 I eat each one!!!!

Echoing every syllable yorkie said.
