Where is everyone lately??????

[DIANE W]

I dont know if i am missing something with this site, but although there are a few posts happening every few days, it is very very very quiet.

I have not seen any posts for a while from, Janet, Gayle, Diana, Judy, and others too, I know Lindsey has posted a bit recently, but is it just that everyone has gone quiet with this site, i have never known there to be such a lack of posts.

I miss hearing about everyone, i do understand life goes on...... but it is unusual for here, that the regular folk are not around.

Hey Diane!!! We're around, but with Facebook so strong, not many post here anymore. As for me, I usually check FB first and then by the time I'm done there, I don't feel like reading or posting anymore. I should start here first, but there is never anything going on.

Are you on FB?

[DIANE W]

No Janet, i dont bother with Facebook, i just thought the site was fizzling out, i was worried about everyone

[Lindsey]

I check here almost every day! I wish it was more active again.

[DIANE W]

I do too Lindsey and when i think of how it used to be, it is sad..... when i check in and the post count is 0

I know i am guilty of not always posting so i cant complain really can i?

I just love hearing about everyone, it used to take me ages every day to read.

Maybe it will pick up again, or maybe as Janet said, people prefer to use Facebook now?

Hectic life for me at the moment. I do read the post but sometimes I just don't have time to answer. Nothing really exciting going on with me to write about also

I'm really busy too, but I'm guilty of checking in and then not posting anything. I've been sooooooooooo busy with my landscaping, almost every evening there is something to do! I bought about 100 plants on Saturday but we couldn't plant them because I got rain over the weekend and the ground was too wet, so I've been hand watering all of them in their containers!!! We placed them where they are to be planted, so I could get an idea of where they actually looked appropriate. I have landscape plans and a very good designer drew the plants into the design, but I changed things around some. FINALLY today, the crew came to start planting. They only got the front bed done and THEN, I had to water all the plants by hand. Because of our drought, I can only water with a sprinkler on Mondays, so I have to water all the plants as they are planted by hand. WHEW! Actually we have a pretty good chance of rain over the weekend, so hopefully it will rain and I won't have to water by hand. All these plants are drought tolerant, so after a few weeks, I can water them once a week on Mondays with the sprinkler and after a few months, I won't have to water them much at all - at least that's my goal.

Gayle, I can't wait to see how your landscaping looks when it's all done!

[DIANE W]

I can't wait too, it sounds lovely Gayle, i just love a nice garden, my garden is not very big, just a lawn and borders at back and decking area, then front is just square lawn and borders all around.

I have to admit though we dont tend the garden ourselves, we have a gardener, he is really good comes every 2 weeks in summer, upto end of Oct, he is very cheap, so it is worth it for us to have him do it.

I get hay fever so cant do it and hubby hates gardening.............. so thats our excuse!!!!!!!!

I love puttering in the garden! I guess maybe it comes from growing up on a farm. I have access to gardeners, so if I get lazy or sick, I can get someone to do it for me. It's looking so pretty, I'll post pics soon.

I am one of the ones that come here to read and rarely post...

But I love hearing from everyone and miss the old site!

I am trying to find homes for two kittens. Took in a stray that rewarded me with babies. She had them on the day she was scheduled to be spayed! The vet said she wasn't pregnant and surprised him too.
Hard to find homes for kittens. PLus these are solid black. Bad time of the year for black kitties. People can be so evil!! They are cute cute and seven weeks old. Time to go.... plus my other two cats and dogs lives are disrupted. Mama cat is in killer mood. Not a fun situation.

[Lindsey]

Oh no I hope you find good homes soon!

[DianaB]

Sorry that I've been Mia. I'll try to do better! October is our busiest month........Bon fires, hay rack rides, and all the other things that go with them.

I would love to see pictures of your landscaping, Gayle. We're getting frost so I've been bringing plants inside. I can't believe how many I've collected this summer!

Hugs everyone!

[DIANE W]

Glad to hear you are ok Diana............ i was worried, not seeing any of your posts of late, i do realise everyone has busy spells.
