Ok, I won't tell him about it. But usually it is more of a male fantasy. Do you have a beer fridge in the walk in closet? You'd be my hero...

You'd be more than my hero, you'd be my goddess . I would have a golden statue made to your image and travel across this continent, going in every pub, I am sure we would become one of the major religions in America. The Church of Elizabeth 's Holly Chalice. The said chalice, of course, would be filled with good scotch. |

Landarc. I am slapping your funny butt ;D ;D Blue, you can't get a crowd drunk on a chalice of beer. Ghee, you can't get one man drunk on it. It would be a church after all, lots of sharing, so it has to be strong stuff... now, we have to give some esoteric origin and meaning to the drink. That's why I vote for scotch Only the best can come from the breast of the goddess  feeding her devoted people with the elixir of happiness...

Big Mike,
I would have thought you were familiar with Belgian Trippels. Cause if you are, you know full well, that a chalice, if large enough, can do a job on a bunch of folks just as well as scotch.
And keep your moose spanking hands off of my butt!

Love love love that squash- beautiful - Man no way that I the slobby grunge girl could be allowed in that room. I am flummoxed that a gardener lives there - do you have a super huge mud room with showers and bathers (people who bathe you) at the door before you come in?

It is quite an average home, rally. And it has been buil with economy in mind . It all in the eye of wife, really, she's a decorator. Your not even looking at $1,000 of furniture, including the TV. Almost all of it is recycled. The ''armoire'' looking thing was my tool stand in the garage. I pieced that scrap sidewalk leftover together, added cheap doors, made sure it looked beaten and worn, then made my own stain out of earth pigments and turpentine. It was then covered with about 30 layers of very thin home brewed shellac. Hardly an expensive thing. Now people offer money for it!! Same idea with the table, broken legs, it was worthless for the store, I McGyvered them. The richness comes more from respect of the lines and the simple naked beauty of the paint colors. Vivianne is able to make almost anything looks rich. Most welfare people I know have more money invested in their living room than we do, usually in their tv set alone there is more cash than here in the whole room... ours is an old second hand, like the other one elsewhere... That is the reason why she was hired by a contractor to design homes, decorate and sell them. He saves money... and his houses sell. She designed almost all the houses on the street... I must admit my personnal style would be a bit more cluttered, and there would be seeds enveloppes all over the place And gardeners are always welcomed...

Old furniture and the clutter of books and seed packets!!! Great Minds Think Alike, or was that Fools Seldom Differ, Michel?? Just wait til I have a smaller house and not as much room to spread the clutter around?? And back to Lav's Musquee de Provence seeds. She sent me some this year, I didn't plant them, mistakenly thinking they would be wasted if we moved in the summer. Silly me expecting to sell that fast... So next year, when I have a side garden for all the world to see, I will definitely plant the Musquee de Provence and my new neighbours will be soooo wanting to know me. But tell me, is it illegal to sell pumpkins by the roadside in suburbia?  |

i don't think so, but growing Musquée de Provence sure would be illegal if they knew about it. This is not a simple vine but a travelling one. 20-30 feet can be expected, probably more, I did not calculate all the contorsions the vines made when I would lift them up and bring back the tip closer to home. They would do like turtles, turning back towards where they want.
A suburbia garden? I am sure you have room for at least half a vine of Musquée ! ;D

Michel - did you eat any of that Musquee yet? How many fruit did you get from 20+ feet of vine? I'm trying to decide where to plant these monsters in my new garden. The fruit I got the seeds from was SO fragrant and sweet, I'm hoping the grow out you guys got was as successful. (For the newbies, both Blue and I had looming household moves this summer, and didn't grow much.)
