I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area; far away now.I’m learning to adjust to it. I’d much rather have this cooler weather than the hot scorchingweather others are having.
Where are you from Ripley?
Did you leave your heart in San Francisco?
Yep, I miss the weather and all the things to do but nowhere near being able to afford living there. (Heck, I hear a lot of the people who do still live there can't afford it, in other words they're living in their cars.
)
Beautiful! Love that green. (We don't have greenery like that around here unless we spend $$$$ a month on water.)
There’s no lack of rain here.
My neighbor's English Ivy keeps invading my space.
I’ve never seen star thistle before they look a bit cactus like. Goatheads I think AlligatorRob introduced me to. He said the same thing about stepping on them and that they stick to dogs. Foxtails I wouldn’t have thought would even fit up a dogs nose but thanks for educating me on them. I hadn’t a clue they were so deadly. Well thanks for sharing. They are very interesting. It’s too bad the Foxtails are so poisonous. They really have a lovely pattern to them.
Don’t you like it?
I wonder if it was the Ivy itself, or something else that was attached to it, such as some mold or disease or tiny unseen insects of some kind.....but either way, surely sounds like a terribly negative experience for you!We had t hat English ivy outside the door here...wifey wanted
it gone, so by hand i tore it out and dug the place up for new
flowers....then I spent months and mucho $$$$$$ getting rid of
the ivy rash...just like poison ivy to me at least.....
