What is the Song?


What is the song Dale is singing?
Roy Rogers left his brand new boots out on the porch and in the morning discovered a mountain lion had destroyed them. He was so angry, he grabbed his rifle,  jumped on Trigger,  told Dale he was going to get that mountain lion and headed up the mountain. He returned an hour later with the big cat stretched across the back of his saddle. Dale came running out of the house singing (she was always singing) ....... "Pardon me Roy, is that the cat who chewed your new shoes?"
Tell me if you get it right.  (The picture is a hint ....also say it fast.)

It's time to Plant bulbs
If you want a sea of tulips in the spring, now is the time to plant them, says gardener extraordinaire. 
That would be me.  I have some bulbs that I dug up from the Bozeman house before it sold but normally they would stay in the ground year around, once they have been planted. 

Here's a tip as to where to buy the healthiest, biggest and most beautiful tulip bulbs.  Costco.  They just came in and are sold out in a very short time.  So go down and get yours.  Another tip on the easiest way to plant tulip bulbs.  In place of planting the bulbs individually, dig one big hole, sprinkle a small amount of fertilizer and place the bulbs close together, pointy side up.  Cover with some newly purchased compost soil and wait for spring. Deer do love tulips so I plant mine in the fenced areas.  Adios bloggie  friends.

Rocks Water Soup and Diamonds

Do you flower garden? I like my flowers outside, not in the house.

When God created this part of the world he was thinking stones and rock and said, "Oh this doesn't need water." So try to have a garden in solid rock without moisture.

Give me an A for trying. I planted pickup loads of flowers some years back and a few tenacious roses and struggling dasies is all I have left.

Try again. Sunday, my Granddaughter and I pulled weeds (ahem..... they grow well) and planted more flowers.
Spend an afternoon digging holes in rock. You press your foot down on your shovel and every time you hear screeeech. It's wearisome. But we pursevered, got everything planted, hoping the drip system would find the new plants, and called it a day.

I had a pot of Hippocrates Soup cooking on the stove. Yummm. Soup and toast with organic blackberries for a movie snack. We both like old movies. Our choice was "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds" with Marilyn Monroe. Below is a clip of "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" with that vixen bomshell Marilyn.
