I don't think that my cats would be very helpful either, but I saw this the other day on the news:

Everything went well, thanks for asking. They could not have been nicer or more professional. Shawn called while they were here and the cats hid under the bed :D I might be a little paranoid but....so what. I don't wanna be serial killed :D

Very pretty plant! i like the colors along with the shape

These are my potted veggies, tomatoes and cucumbers. Yesterday, I found the first two cucumbers on the vine.
I have some beans, too, but they're still small.

Cool curvy stems beneath the

The bright petals bring
Cheer, and rebloom with vigor

How lovely, nasturtiums bring back so many childhood memories. The flowers themselves, the colours, the crisp fresh stems... they are like no other flower. Simply adding one to a salad is so beautiful too! Thank you Karen, so sweet.

My gardenia just finished blooming, now I have to wait another year for this wonderful scent.

What are those?

Boy, was I wrong:

They're beautiful!
