COLD DARK ROOM

And on the avocado theme.... the seeds are fun to play around with and see whst you can get. In my office, a guy has about 8 growing in recycled soda bottles, still all in water. Some two feet tall.

Now....that said, unless you have a lot of time and patience, it’s probably not worth the energy..

• Sometimes avocado plants will begin growing fruit after they're 3 or 4 years old, others take 15+ years to grow fruit, and some never do. It helps to have several avocado trees growing together to aid with pollination. However, don't expect the fruit to be anything like the avocado that yielded your seed.
• Growing an avocado plant (Persea americana) from a pit is fun and educational, and it usually takes only two to six weeks for the pit to sprout. After that, the plant takes 10 to 15 years to grow large enough to fruit, which it only does in suitable growing conditions.

Today is my daughter's last day of being a 2nd grader!
Im so ready for summer break, mostly the part where I don't have to get up at 6am.

Congratulations btw.

It may also depend on what variety of lavender you have. The leaves on mine have very little scent but the flowers smell great

I will post a pic tomorrow. It is too dark outside right now to take a picture.

Yip. That is pretty much what i have read as well. If you want to plant them then you will be planting them for your children and or grandchildren.

Clunker got attacked by the paparazzi today. Heading over to his thread to overload it with pictures, this one is just for all of you in the CDR[emoji12]

What a handsome boy and he's showing what he thinks of being photographed by blowing a raspberry!

 

[Lyn W]

Ye me too. I am still waiting for my Leaving on a Jet plane. I wonder if Bee saw my post saying as soon as she is ready to post it?

Maybe Sabine left on a jet plane and is coming to sing it to you in person!
How wonderful that would be!

 

[Lyn W]

How is Lola doing? Is he back on track and behaving himself?

He still needs encouragement to eat and doesn't seem to touch his food until I come home but once persuaded to start he gobbles it down!

 

[Lyn W]

Yep, I was on the roll!

Bet you wiped the smile off a few faces, Lena. Hope the others aren't bad loosers!

Friday the schools break up. And then only go back to school on the 17th of July.

Our schools don't finish until the 20th July and go back the beginning of Sept.

 

[Lyn W]

I'm a bit late popping in again but managed to get here just before bedtime.
Hope you all had or are having a good Weds - the weekend is on it's way!
Anyway I'll say Nos Da now and will not see you tomorrow - hopefully earlier!
Take care

What a beautiful dream!

Well, my new set of predictions just went down the drain... :-/

Good morning, roommates! Have a great Thursday!

That is so sweet.

You too.

 

[CarolM]

Wow. So much action going on in the CDR. I don't think I can handle it.

 

[CarolM]

Good Aftereve Everyone.

I hope all are having such a fantastic Thursday that they are too busy to come on here. It looks like rain a little later on. Yay. I can't wait for tomorrow as not only is it Friday but from Monday onwards I get to sleep a little later. I won't have to drop Jarrod off at school. Whoop whoop. Todays osteopathic visit went well. We discussed my treatment going forward and doc has persuaded me to try to go two weeks without coffee and no stimulants. To try and stay calm and relaxed so that I can see for myself how much all that stuff impedes my progress forward. So here goes most probably a week of living Hell for those around me while I go through withdrawal symptoms.

Hello my lovely roommates.
Just popping in to say hello to everyone and wishing you all a wonderful Thursday.
I have some problems with the sores on my left leg coming from the shingles. It has gotten worse and I sometimes suffer pain, but I hope it will be better soon because I take some homöophatical meds.
That`s why I was reading but not posting. Sorry !
@DE42 Especially sorry for you Dan. I`ve read what you are going through. There are no words that are the right to say but I want to tell you like Yvonne already had: When you want to talk with us, we are here for you.

Sorry for you Carol too. I`ve missed your post when you`ve said that you want to hear "your" song.
But the next post it comes.

Thank you both Lyn and Lena for your kind words. @Lyn W & @Kristoff
