That leads me to wonder if daliahs should be hung upside down also.</p> <p>malia: I haven't heard of Pacific Iron's Salvage Yard, but I will HAVE to visit. I see some interesting projects in my future!</p> <p>I went to the market for honey and flowers then sat outside Starbucks having a very nice chat with someone. Came home and repotted about 10 plants to get the ready to bring indoors. Took a nap, ate some yummy chicken, spinach &#38; quinoa leftovers.

A childhood friend walked past, had a nice visit.We hadn't seen one another for at least 20 years. Amazingly, he recognized me.<br /> Ballardgirl, I use bamboo poles to make teepees for vesgies, dahlias, etc. If they are long and nice, I also use them as curtain rods, towel holders, et.<br /> Put some Got Soup's broccoli soup in crockpot, just ate it, nummy.

We ate some garlicky artichoke-spinach dip during the game, then I took advantage of the triple-points coupon at Fred Meyer.
