My Blog!! Harassment & Stalking

After looking at other blog sites that
don't offer one much, but want one to
do a website.  Still looking!!

My blog was a peaceful spot for folks
to come learn about Brugmansia, Datura
and Ichroma. Now it's teaching folks what
the spammers can do to one's life.  Yes, you
can fight back, but you have to track them!
Have you tried to turn them into their Govt.?


For those of you that are here to spam,
stop!  Germany, Russia and the USA...
just love watching the IP addresses that
you use.  How they use IP addresses in 
other places.  

Let me tell you since the Twitter Breach,
Australia and Germany lead the pack
of spammers by putting me on a couple 
dating sights and the dark web.  Let me 
tell you those sights were shocked to find
out what you have done and the length that
you will go to harass someone.

For those of you that believe what you 
read on the dark web .... out of date 
information!!  It's all about the numbers
that bring folks to their sights.  While
they violate the privacy of others. 

Put the shoe on the other foot! 

Harassment at it's finest!  Or are
you a stalker?

Clematises Down!

 I have been cutting back our Clematises
due to the heat wave we have been having.
I am down to just one left in my process of
cutting them back.  Lots of burnt leaves and
some die back.  

Sorry no Photos as Google wants Cookies!!
Not allowed so I guess it's time to move the
blog some where else!  This wasn't an issue
until now so time to move on.  

































































Just half of the collection.




















They grow up so fast!  Just a month
after being cut back.




















Filling in nicely and a few are starting
to bloom!

normal.

Even the Tropicals are frying!

Finally some cooler weather!  Hottest 
July on record with little rain.

8/2/2024

With additional health issues we have
decided not to reopen the gardens for
the rest of 2024.    You are free to look
from the curb or catch me out working
in the yard and ask but let me tell you 
we are busy cutting back.  The heat has
taken a tole on us and the gardens this
year.  Thanks for your support.

Time To Relax / I do not smoke!

 Until the next medical journey!  I just
finished one and have 3 more to go this
month!  So please forgive if the blog takes
a back seat for a while.

Getting tired of all my doctors asking me
if I smoke......NO!  But my neighbor to 
the north has a fire pit!

Last week I added another doctor to my
team to keep me going.  We know, I have
issues with the eyes, he requested I keep on
the path that I'm on!   He recorded the numbers
on the issues and said I should stick with the
6 month plan with my regular doctor.  We now
have a point to compare if the issues continue.
I don't smoke!

Two more specialists to go before my journey
at the end of the month!  Echo, checked off the list
last week.   Today I got another set of x-rays!
Now to see each doctor for why these were
ordered.

Again I do not smoke!

All that I ask is they keep me on my feet and
doing what I love!


Saw the heart doc. on the 30th and there was
a slight issue that we will keep a close eye on
but everything looks the same.

31st I saw the surgeon to get on his schedule
to do the left knee.   I will have a list of things
to complete before surgery.  He was impressed
on how well the right knee was doing!  I have
the best surgeon!

Time For Spring Cleanup

 Many of you know we do our Spring
 Cleanup around the 4th of July.
I have started to cut back a lot of the 
Spring bloomers.  Why, so that we
also get fall blooms!  The heat and
wind do some of the plants in.  I am 
in the process of saving seeds and 
will post what I have for sale later
in July when some are ready.

7/8/2024

After watching the yard fry with
the extremely hot temps we are 
having to cut down a lot of the 
plants. In cutting them back, so
that they will regrow and bloom 
in the fall! The key is to fertilize
after they are cut back to get them
to regrow!
