There is restaurant in RVA called Salt & Forge. Exemplary offerings- my breakfast go to is a grilled chicken biscuit with bread and butter pickles and hot honey. A blackberry serrano jelly accompies! It is at the top of my enjoyable heat scale with a biscuit that holds together till the last bite!! That is how to guarantee a good day!

Not my neighbors... I don't want them getting anywhere near that close! ?
No, the birds are used to that sound as it happens in my house almost every week end from February to October, just usually not that loud. Another thing you can do is if they play rock n roll loud and disturbs you, you need to play Patsy Cline or Hank Williams Sr, Garth Brooks, Dolly, really loud that makes'em crazy. I am so glad I don't have to go thru that anymore. I'm sorry you do
You have never heard "loud" until you hear 42 stock cars with 700 hp engines and no mufflers. In person it vibrates in your chest, on the TV it vibrates the walls...such fun
Thank you Yvonne! Your a very nice addition to our crazy world!
LOVE THIS
Personally, it looks to me like she's gonna have a great day, if it kills someone...lolYou being so nice and cheery in the morning really brightens my day.

@EllieMay Have you told your dad how wonderful he is yet? ?
Happy sunny Tuesday all. Sunny & bright, chilly & nice. Ground is soggy from the big storms, but good for the plants. I have a few bags of daffodils to dig in, a deck to finish up, the ship’s box to finish. But, i did start & finish a nice little dolly to easily push around heavy plants from porch to inside to sunroom. We might get a real frost tonight or tomorrow night so I’ll lug the Elephant Ear plants inside.

I thought bamboo would look nice in a 75 gallon bright blue tote. So I went to an empty lot up the street and dug up 9 or 10 bamboo starts or bigger shoots and planted them right in the front of my house in that tote. The plants are now taller then the windows. Last Sunday I hadda rake the leaves. So no NASCAR I may as well physically do something. I'm raking like a fiend, my rake hit's that blue plastic tote, and big pieces of blue plastic went flying. Crap, the bamboo is root bound as all hell. About 10 years of growth, broke thru the plastic and into the ground. Bamboo is seriously invasive and you'll be sorry.
What a color!!! Do you know what it's called?
Here's mine, blooming like a crazy thing, even tho I turned it, all the blooms are on one side. How about some photos of your sunroom? I love looking at other members plants...Last night I counted to make a point about saucers, I have 64 plants in my house for the winter.
My lefty cactus...lol
I don't have any small tortoises in tort tables anymore. So here's what I've done to the tort table in the Mary and Big Sam's shed
So I am hoping that the pull of the light will over time, will make the old man cactus straighten up

I am
Sunroom half a wreck right now, being used a tool transition room. Tools we use on the deck during the day are brought into the sunroom over night. Once it’s a bit tidy, pix.
Here’s our Monstera & another Monstera Wannabe
I have them as well. Not as big tho...it rains snows or fogs for 7 months, it's hard for plants to grow without sun...I call that last one my dinosaur plant
We had Blue t!ts nesting in the camera nest box in our garden. I needed to come up with something that allowed me to talk about them
That was my guess
yep, salmon is a good color match, better than trout or haddock ??
Once ours blooms & they dry up & fall off, i pinch all the tips back pretty far. Keeps the plant growing more upright & encourages branching out.
I live exactly 2.28 miles (as the crow flies) from RIR and I love the sound when they race
