    Ahh, geraniums. Thanks Denise, reminds me of my mother and pots of geraniums sitting on her porch. Mostly red. 😊

      When you mentioned that the other day, I went on a search. My favorite flower too, maybe because they’re so forgiving 🙂 We had them in our So.Cal. yard, they grew like bushes, so pretty year round. Poinsettas were small trees, but no surprise since they’re native to Mexico.

        So sweet of you to look for geraniums! I’ve never seen them down here. When we lived in central Florida we had them, but they didn’t last as long as when we lived in the Carolinas. I would love to see the poinsettia trees. We had a neighbor (central FL) who planted one outside, and it had the perfect location, grew to be a beautiful bush. I’ve never seen one down here, seems like they would grow here. We still have one in a pot that is doing well, maybe we should try to plant it.

          My search turned up some beautiful trees …. in Tanzania 🙂 I don’t think they caught on that much in the US because they’re toxic to pets? It would be fun to plant one in part of the yard the pups can’t get too and see how she does.

          • taw46 says:

            I didn’t think about them being toxic. Is that true? Our dogs have never bothered any of our plants, I think it would be ok. There is one part of the yard they rarely go into, that would be a good place.

          • Mt.Laurel says:

            Not all varieties are poisonous to pets. I think the ivy geraniums (with those thicker glossier leaves) are on of the ones they say to watch but I have always had pets and all types of geraniums and none have any shown any interest at all.

            I often buy little Gerber daisy plants (safe for kitties) at the store as they are less expensive than kitty grass/fresh cat nip and you can enjoy the flowers for a while before the cats chomp them down to the roots (although the cats love the petals too). Have to place them up high as the cats sense when you bring them in the house and come running for a treat. They do the same if you have fresh mint but ignore say impatiens or carnations. So most must have some sense of yes/no/truly yummy in the tummy.

        Ans I now have another pic in rotation on the computer. Along with hydrangea, they make me smile as I work. Thank you!🌺

    Good Morning.

    Watch out for that tick spit! This sounds so strange!

    ===============

    Red Meat Allergies Triggered By Tick Spit Are Increasingly Common: CDC

    Nearly half a million Americans may be living with the alergy, which people who have experienced it describe as terrifying and bewildering.

    • CalSteno says:

      Luckily Bill Gates and friends have been working hard to build manufacturing plants for creating wonderful, sustainable lab created meats and yummy ground insect concoctions so we have an alternative to this supposed new allergy.

      And in figure skating and speed skating, Russians are no longer allowed to compete per the ISU. So the Chinese, in solidarity with the Russians, also no longer compete in ISU events. Because the athletes are denied, so are we denied the beauty of their art in the sport of figure skating.
      I’m not going to get into the problems with the use of performance enhancing drugs. That’s an entirely different subject – it’s the world politics that I’m referring to at this time.

    Just took a skip down the block to see what the neighbors are writing about. JFC, rd is in total hard-core derangement. Proceed at your own peril

    Brought this small painting home today. I returned a painting to the artist after enjoying it for 25 years, and he agreed to swap it for this one and a commission of Stonehenge.

    Overnight Trump ❤

  22. DeniseVB says:

    More 1987 Trump. There’s more out there, especially the Oprah and Rona Barrett tapes. I think he was on a book tour 🙂

      Does Kerry know how stupid he sounds? He flies around on private jets, owns a yacht, bought an oceanfront mansion. Man, those are gigantic dickhead hanging out carbon footprints.

    • taw46 says:

      What’s with those marks below his eyes? And yeah, he plans to eat while we starve.

      • swanspirit says:

        It looks like he had a blepharoplasty. That is plastic surgery for your eyelids, to reduce the bags under your eyes, to make you look younger.
