Hallson Gardens

I found some in the lot next to us that were a rawhide colored brown and low growing, but they also seemed to follow a crooked line in the yard. It was almost like they were attached to an undergrown root system. I thought it could have been attached to/or feeding off from the dead roots of a tree I...

The FAQ section was really informative. Spring and fall with most of the application in the fall when they are feeding actively. I also had heard 1-3 years before maximum effect, but didn't realize that the older the spoor, the more effective they were. Really interesting. CHAR

I just love decks, and yours looks sooooo good. The steps are the best part. Nice work. A deck just adds personality to the house. Thanks for sharing it with us all. CHAR

I planted these at the base of my glass welcome sign, and all of a sudden they took over. Isn't it gorgeous? It is at the corner of my front deck and completely hides the sign. There are tons of buds on it and it still is producing. CHAR

I found these growing in my wood chips pile. They are so cool, I just had to share with you. CHAR

What a great big wonderful boxer boy he is. Ah, I can see it now, just one shake of that head and 'dog slobber' flying everywhere. Our boxer is now a lot more sedate. He is 5. And they say, at 2, they calm down a lot. I waited longer than that, but finally he did. He still has moments tho. I can't t...

Whoa,,,,how could I miss this? This is in all its glory right now. Sweet Autumn Clematis, it just gets better each year. Somewhere under there,hanging from the trellis, is a green wren house. Only used early in the season. No bird could get to it now. CHAR

I don't have anything white right now, but I did pull up some pics of whites from previous months. CHAR

He is outside all night - with a couple of pit stops for a snack inside, so during the day, he just sacks out completely. CHAR

Nice teeth.

Thelma , you dear. We all love you. Your mommy really gets the pic of the moods. CHAR

I, too, have lost a few, but I get soooooo emotional just reading about others, that I can't bear to write about mine. I know exactly how you all feel about your loved ones. As do I. CHAR

He may be portly(14#), but he can get almost anywhere he chooses.
And your pretty miss is too too cute. Sleeping anywhere she chooses. What a doll. CHAR

Corky has his own couch, yes he does, and his own chair. He sleeps at night on the couch with his blue blanket, but usually it is folded, and he uses it like a pillow, but this time he got crazy and rolled, and then went to sleep.

The chair is where he can watch outside. CHAR

Like all of your fur babies, Mickey has a variety of places he goes. Here are a few. CHAR

The bees and bumblebees have been doing double time n the pollen in the sunflowers. Here are a couple more shots. Even the little white one is a sunflower, about 2-3 in in diameter and 6-7 ft. tall. CHAR

I wanted sunflowers for a long stemed display in a vase. But the stems on these didn't get long enough wihout having to cut off more than one bloom. However, they are very pretty in the garden. All over 6ft. tall. CHAR

No, its not a bad picture at all. I just love it. She is sooooo cute. Purrrrr-fect. CHAR

Mickey has found another place for his nap. And he barely fits. This morning in his haste to get up there he kicked the scanner to the floor. Fortunately the cord is short, and it stopped the fall of the piece of equipment. But that certainly didn't concern Mickey. It just meant that the spot was cl...

The only time Mickey talks with his mouth full is when he is bringing in a 'treat' to share with the dog. He can come and go as he pleases through the pet door, and always comes in with a 'live' critter in his mouth. The dog just loves it. Not me, then I have to put down the sticky mouse pads to cat...
