Slideshow has mom’s magnificent succulents.

The only one of dads dinner plate dahlia that grew this year, and it is very small compared to last years.
Birdhouse gourds. I’m hoping they will dry thoroughly and I can make some tiny houses , probably for hummingbirds.
Moms Fairy Roses, these last through november!

Something I learned about first hand this summer, Queen Annes Lace is a beautiful flower, but needs to be treated with a healthy respect.

So, I still like Queen Annes Lace as a Flower, but I’ve gained a certain amount of respect for its powers of rash infliction. I never knew about phytophotosensitivity until this summer, or that queen annes Lace emits a nasty chemical substance that can cause skin reactions in certain”sensitive” people. Who knew???

I just got stung by a bee and feel it in my head? I never used to feel it in my head before fibro and me/cfs , so either the bees are more toxic or its another little added gift from the illness. Words of wisdom for anyone who is extra sensitive to bee stings. Soak the area in rubbing alcohol (it helps to remove venom) and take benedryl asap.At least they only nailed me once this summer….and I know its good they are around. My bad for not wearing gloves or paying attention!

I Like this chanel, ‘Under the Median’. These guys have lots of great advice and aren’t judgemental at all. I think most people could glean a few tips from them, and so I thought I’d share this. I know a lot of people are having trouble with the costs of living increasing pretty much across the board. I talked with a woman today whose rent was going up $500 per month. She is afraid she won’t be able to find an affordable place here and just wants to leave the Cape altogether. She told me price gouging is really out of hand here on Cape Cod, because so many wealthy people live here now and the landlords can, simply put, charge whatever they want to. I think the Cape is worse for this sort of thing (especially right now), as the super wealthy seem to be invasively taking over. I wish they’d get bored and move somewhere else. (At least the spoiled/self absorbed ones, of which we seem to have way too many right now!!!) Anyways, this is for the regular people (who aren’t uber-rich), maybe you’ll find some good tips here. I hope so. Also, These two are Vegans and there is also a lot of advice for food shopping, etc…(Vegan or not):
