Let's Go Rangers!

Flashback to a dream come true last week!  

Angelina Jolie

Wondering why the news on Angelina Jolie's mastectomy had me so shocked when I first heard about it.......

Maybe blog later................

Small Town

You know you are a small town girl when you go to New York City, ride around in a double decker tour bus and exclaim: "There's a nanny!".  Around here we're used to hearing people, not from here, saying something similar: "There's a deer!"

Is it okay to stake up knockout roses?  Will that hurt them?  How do I do that if it will not harm the roses?  What materials?  My bushes are as tall as my head.  Some are falling forward from the weight.  I really do not want to cut the fronts to make them stand upright because I prefer the large, tall, fully bushy look to the knockouts.


This isn't a great photo of my roses. It doesn't do them justice. But you can see they are as tall as me.  The tops haven't bloomed yet.  I love my roses!  Just got to get the ones at the middle of the porch standing straight up.

Raccoon Mountain

Thinking about starting mountain biking again this summer.  It's been over three years since I've ridden regular.  So........

This is the view on top of Raccoon Mountain in Chattanooga, TN.
