I'm jealous of all your pine needles. They make wonderful mulch! I'm with Frances - they don't over-acidify the soil.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to seeing your craft room and your tabletop greenhouse.

Thanks for stopping by.Kathleen- Y...Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>Kathleen- Yes, we've had snow 3 times so far. Not much accumulation to speak of and it all melts fairly quickly. We're having a nice weekend so far, I hope you are too!<BR/><BR/>Nola- At least all you have to do is move it into the garage. We gardeners need to take care of our lovely plants. At least the pansies like the cooler weather.<BR/><BR/>Raquel- You've got that right. Usually I have nothing blooming up here so I think I did well too. I wonder why people who are called pansies are considered weak (we saw Madagascar 2 yesterday). I might take being called a pansy as being a compliment. They bright, tough, and pretty.<BR/><BR/>Tina- Me too!<BR/><BR/>MMD- I guess so. I didn't think anything ate mums either. They tend to nibble on them when I'm not in the living room to observe either so sometimes it's hard to figure out who does what.<BR/><BR/>Gail- Thanks. I doubt my pansies will make it through our sub zero temps, but I'll stop by and admire yours when you post their pictures.<BR/><BR/>Cindee- I've been using the couch, kitchen table, and Cheesehead's workbench for the last couple of years. It will be strange to have a dedicated space for it. I've got some great ideas for our yearly Christmas ornament making.<BR/><BR/>Linda- Those blahs are easy to get, aren't they? All of the gray skies and loss of color. Soon it will be December, one of my favorite times of year despite the snow and cold. December brings such a feeling of love, joy, peace, and charity I just can't help but enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>Amy- It has been very cold here. Your pansies come back? Really? Wouldn't that be nice! It gets so cold here I never get mine back except the seedlings.<BR/><BR/>Frances- Yes, I think blogging definately suits us. It's good to hear that about the pine needles. I put loads of them onto my future garden site when I cleaned up. I don't need to buy any here, that's for sure!<BR/><BR/>I'll have to show off my craft room when I get it all set up. We don't have the money for drywall or anything so I'm just putting up shelving on the studs and dressing it up a little bit. Mostly just getting everything organized and accessible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-89597810383582229932008-11-16T05:55:00.000-06:002008-11-16T05:55:00.000-06:00Hi Cinj, jabber jaws is funny, my teacher used to ...Hi Cinj, jabber jaws is funny, my teacher used to call me motor mouth, a similar moniker! HA Maybe that is why we like blogging so much, we get to talk all we want. I want to comment about the pine straw, I have read that it really doesn't over acidify soil like some people think, and is a nice neutral mulch, very beneficial to the plants. I actually buy it to spread since our pines don't cover enough of the garden to fall naturally and cover things. I am excited about your craft room too, I think the table top greenhouse will give you lots of enjoyment, offspring in Asheville have one and love it, but they have to remember to open it for air circulation, a must for plants. I have that potential for mold on the windows too, and have to remember to keep them wiped, having forgotten sometimes and been unpleasantly surprised too. Happy crafting!<BR/>FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-51882853301144493902008-11-16T01:18:00.000-06:002008-11-16T01:18:00.000-06:00It looks cold over there!

Those pansies are such champions at this time of the year aren't they? They really should be named something more fitting their nature. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-49887440050977428642008-11-15T09:42:00.000-06:002008-11-15T09:42:00.000-06:00How funny, it's almost too cold for your pansies, ...How funny, it's almost too cold for your pansies, and it's just now cool enough for mine!

You have way more November blooms than I would have anticipated since you've had snow already (am I remembering that right?) and you're so much further north. I hope your pansies set some seeds too and I definitely would have brought the roses in, just as you did. Enjoy them while they last! Have a great weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
