A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall You know it's fall

so are you saying you don't have on any pants?

you better get over to the Coffeehouse and defend your honor. I told them you had accused Diane of taking your pants and you're sitting around pantsless.

Your Naughty...............

awwwwwwwww thanks Barb!
Looks Like we like the same type of pants Dodge

Sheri you are toooooooooooooo funny!!

Fall is really here, I haven't seen a hummingbird in well over a week. Guess they have migrated again.

Dodge, your home looks so cozy.

Here in the Sthn hemisphere with hot Christmases, people use spray-on snow & cottonwool etc, as decoration, to make it look as though it's winter. There are still cards sold with Santa driving his sleigh through snowdrifts & showing stockings hanging by a blazing fire, you get the idea. Weird how people get nostalgic for something they have probably never had, such as a white Christmas. They even celebrate "Christmas-in-July" to get the cold experience!!!

Our tree will be, our pride & joy, our new Wollemi pine, all 60cm (24") of it, living in its pot. Used to have pine Christmas trees in NZ, but got terrible hayfever from them. Not pleasant. Had a Japanese cedar as a living tree once, it was planted out afterwards & grew very well. The pine trees around here drop their cones, non-stop, all year round. Plenty available for decorations if you can beat the galahs to them, they love the seeds.

I live in Minnesota and we get plenty of cold and snow! I couldn't imagine not having snow for Christmas. It wouldn't feel like Christmas to me. I could do without it the rest of the time.

I like your tree Barb! Looks very nice! We always get a real one. I want to get one in a pot this year and try to leave it like that and see if I can plant it outside afterwards and have it in the yard. That would be nice instead of buying cut ones and then having to burn them after it is all done.

I used to cut my own tree from our own property but DH would rather the 'fuller, prettier' ones you pay for.

Thanks ...i like it too.
That chair is gone to the goodwill and I replaced it with an overstuffed wheat colord one..

We spend lots of time here in the winter, so why not be cozy????? ;o)

Aussie country probably isnt suited with Pines.. They grow easily in our area.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Barb. Pinus radiata grow like weeds around our area, unfortunately, especially further inland. It means there are plenty for Christmas trees. They self-sow & pop up everywhere. Have enjoyed the snow when I've visited the ski resorts, but that's not like living in it, is it? We actually live by a surf beach.

Then I suppose your a surfer?

I arent a water baby at all......But use the outdoors lots.
b

does that make you a hodad Barb? I remember when we lived in CA a teenager was either a surfer or hodad (pronounced like Santa says Ho Ho Ho then dad)

hodad..........I is ..

I'm just a plain ho.

A surfer????? Ho, ho, ho, hee, hee, hee. B.was one, many, many, many moons ago. A swimmer, yes, but a surfer..... Now yachting- that's more like it. Have had to make Christmas lunch for about 10 on a pleasure cruiser.

Holy ,


Yachting..................You must be high on the there..(Means richy)

I cruise on the atv ..........

Bestoffour..(Ho ho ho)

That doesn't sound the way it means
