| Hey Jean, are you getting those series of storms that were headed for Florida, or are they headed up Rachel's way?
Whenever there's thunder & lightning, I stay inside. It tends to touch down a lot in the area; several of the neighbor's houses have been hit over the years. My phone line does have a lightning rod attached.
Good news about lightning is that it causes Nitrogen to crystalize and fall on the ground. |

| Then that must be what's sticking to my shoes...grin Yesterday was hours of rumble and flash and not a drop of rain. Lightning struck the neighbor's pine tree again...about the fourth time for that poor giant. Maybe the last time from the amount of bark on the ground.
This mess is coming in from the gulf, probably a bit from the mess in Florida, but we have a whole system moving in from Texas to the west of us. Just had a major tornado hit Beaumont, Texas around lunchtime. They are about 200 hundred miles southwest of me. Things are starting to pop in the Atlantic...ah hurricane season...and we don't get to hunt anything and storms don't have a bag limit. grin |

I saw a lightning rod that I thought would make a good vertical accent, is that a good idea scientifically speaking?
You have to explain further the benefits of nitrogen crystalizing and falling on the ground? I know air is mostly nitrogen and 21% oxygen but that's as far as that goes lol
Moon I hope you weren't wearing your favorite shoes, I hate when I get nitrogen stuck to my shoes!
Kassy now I have that song stuck in my head..."with a rebel yell, she cried more.." who sings that? Am I dating myself with that? lol |

| hello:) I've been hanging out in the quilting forum lately. My garden is winding down for the season, I've got greenbeans going and the tomatoes are still cranking out. It's the giant sunflowers that my daughter planted that are going like gangbusters right now. This is the time of year I start planning my Christmas quilts for gifts and I volunteered to make a donation quilt for my workplace to benefit our Adopt-a-family family at Christmas. Last year the donations were really sparse so I'm hoping the raffle brings in a good amount. We use all the funds to get the things the kids have on their wishlist. It was an absolutely beautiful day and evening here. Cool, calm and clear. |

I'm with you on this hundred post thing Kassy, I jump around all over the place and there are a lot of threads with over a hundred posts. They don't stick to the subject anybetter than we do. They're doing surgery on one I was reading. They didn't know much about it so I filled them in. What the hey, I've spent the last thirty years at the hospital. Even a red neck learns a little along the way.
Looks like you are one the outer edge of the storm Rachael. Turning more out to the Atlantic. Hope those babies all stay out there this year. |

| Hey Kassy, just for you, let's name the next one "Rebel Yell!"
You don't have to agree, with the powers that be, to be patriotic.
Some other threads do go long without being corrected. Tropical Plants and the Aussie channel have threads that get about 200 before they renew, and they don't get cut!
Hope the link is helpful Rachel; are you still threatened by the storms? (The Lepidolite gets its' purplish color from Lithium.)
Hope the weather is clearing up Jean. I worked the garden till I couldn't stand the heat, and went to town (Hilo).
Lynnie, what do you mean by a lightning rod accent; don't be trying any of that Ben Franklin stuff. I'll put together a detailed explanation of lightning causing Nitrogen to fall out of the sky. (Incidentally, the modern technology of using electrical charges to crystalize Nitrogen, from Nitrogen gas, is modeled after Nature.)
Hey Jim, was that song "Hot Rod Lincoln"?
Hows'it Babeegirl; E komo mai! Show us your plants!
What happened to Ican?
Thanks for the posts all! talk you y'all in the mornin'!

So Dave I should leave the lightning rods alone? I really like those antique lightning rods and I need a vertical accent. Well even if I put a sculpture out there, unless it were made of rubber, it would conduct electricity. Why do we WANT to crystalize nitrogen? not just to ruin shoes, I hope ;)
I found that bit of green beryl, I'll get a picture. I'll check out that link, it looked interesting. I was too busy sweating yesterday.

| Hey Lynnie, do you mean as a garden sculpture? Certainly! Just so your not connected to them. (Make sure your house is grounded according to your local building code.)
Nitrogen is part of most fertilizer.
Basically what happens in the sky is: Lightning strikes (I think from friction.) and burns up the gases. The reaction causes solid Nitrogen to fall out of the sky. The sound of Thunder is the Air masses closing together on the empty space caused by the Lightning burning up material.
Thunder is the sound of the Sky clapping!

| Lynnie, I remembered the shoes, that is why I chose Manolos...grin..We want crystallized nitrogen cuz the liquid stuff would freeze the manolos and your feet...grin
Dave, if that is the case, then the sky gave the lightning a standing ovation here yesterday...for a long time...must have called it back for at least 3 or 4 encores. I think one of the freakiest sounds is hearing the sky crackle and pop (no snap) like an overloaded transformer. You know it was an exceptionally big burn when the thunder is so loud and long it makes your ears buzz and the hair on your neck stand up. (not the only thing standing either...grin)
Dropped Ican a d-mail so she can find us. She should be home from her three day jaunt with family.
Yes, Kassy we have rain scheduled for the next 3 or 4 days...I want a schedule change, but nobody asked me...grin
Jim, I imagine you picked up a lot more than that in all those years of hospital visits..you could qualify for your Junior paramedic badge...grin
Rachel, I know it didn't hurt your feelings at all that Claudette decided not to visit you this go around...grin
Babeegirl, hope that storm line is kinder to you folks than it was to Beaumont. I have a friend in Saint John, which I think is fairly close to you...maybe an hour away? |

The Crinum looks like Crinum asiaticum 'Traubii', Red Crinum.
The 1st "Ginger" looks like Costus speciosus, Crepe Ginger. Costus Family.
The 2nd "Ginger" might be Curcuma siamensis, need more details.
The 3rd is a Curcuma, need a flower.
The 4th, looks like Ctenanthe oppenheimiana 'Triclor'. C. lubbersiana in back. Ctenanthe are Maranta Family members. |

Although I do have most of their studio albums (don't care for the concert stuff so much). I collect a lot of music.

But yes to the question as to if I am off from work now. Off for 7 then go back in for 4 and then taking more vacation.
I'll be sending your seeds out soon Jim...I wanted to let them sit and dry for a while since moon was nice enough to send us some of her rain
It rained 4 days in a row, a new record this summer. So I figured I better let the chive seeds dry out some before putting them into a bubble envelope. I'll try to get them out to you tomorrow with the sage seeds.
I have another package of seeds I have to send out too.
And yes Jim, I'm dating myself here, but I remember "He got fightin mad that rebel lad." "Johnny Yuma was a rebel." |

I vote for Rachel to sing lead.
Jean likes music, we could teach her lead guitar.
We just need percussion (drums) and back up singers.

Have you always lived in Virginia?
I see that plant files calls your plant a Stromanthe Jean. I know Stromanthe sanguinea as a different plant, twice as tall as your 'Tricolor"
gets.

| Did I post earlier that it looked like we had missed the rain? Wrong! 3.3 inchs this afternoon and more on tap for tonight. I need to borrow Racael's canoe.
I don't know about Kassy Rachael but I am a world class hugger.
Seems like the work out today got some of the soreness out of my back. Guess it was muscle soreness. |

| FYI- Be Careful Making Pesto- People, I have a huge herb garden with lots of basil so I have been making pesto. It is expensive to make as you know because of the parmesean and mostly because of the pine nuts. DO NOT use pine nuts from China. They cause a lot of problems...number one being that after you eat them they cause you to have a bitter taste in the back of your mouth after eating almost all foods for up to 2 weeks. There are lots of threads posted about this and you can search google for it. we need to forget China for foodstuffs. Honestly. No telling what is in those things! |

| Thanks for the link Jean, I'm not familiar with the 'Triostar' cultivar. I still think your plant looks more like the Ctenanthe than the Stromanthe. How tall does your plant get? Is there any flowers to show?
Hi Girla, have you ever tried substituting Walnuts or Almonds in your Pesto? It turns out well!
I always use raw nuts in my recipes, as the Omega-3 oil is still fresh. Once the nuts are roasted, the oil begins to go rancid.
The best way to use nuts is to get them whole (in the shell) and shell them as needed.

| Dave, I have had the plant for 3 days. It is in a 5 gallon plastic pot and it came from behind a stand of gingers at my friend's nursery. It got forgotten over the winter along with the ctenanthe lubersii. Come to think of it, I know where he got them. It is Ctenanthe tricolor...they both came from his trip to Stokes Tropicals...Cool. Now to figure out where they need to live.
Thank you Dave, you teach me things. |

| Phanerograms are the shells of plant pollen. They can last a long time in the soil.
I got interested in phanerograms as a way to tell what kind of plants a culture was using, in an archaeological site.
Here is Clerodendrum paniculatum. |

Thanks for the kind words Kassy. I am also opinionated and bull headed. I like everybody and expect them to like me, if they don't that is their problem. I am also a clown. Seldom get embarrassed and laugh at myself when I pull a boner. Can get terribly mad but five minutes later can't remember what I was mad about. Can't hold a grudge for the life of me.

| yeah, it is a shame how technology has made the imagination a little more obsolete with every new gadget. I'm used to grabbing a pencil and graph paper when an idea comes to me for a quilt block. I got a fancy new program called EQ6 that's supposed to help me zip through it but I sat here last night fighting with it for 3 hours, getting frustrated and went back to the paper and pencil. I'm not going to give up on it though, I will master it. The one thing I can't live without is my camera. I love to stop and snap a few pics of a particularly interesting garden arrangement if I happen to pass by while driving. I do put the car in park:) it's too dangerous to snap and drive! you know what I just realized? I didn't see one frog or toad this season. Not even a flattened one on the street. |

And have to run to the store at some point to pick up meds, and am trying to get the dog clipped. I'm seeing a bump on him I want the vet to check out, so that will have to be done either before I leave or as soon as I get back. Found it while I was clipping him.

I'm hoping it's only a papilloma. He has one on his side, but this one feels much more solid. But that could be because of where it is located too.
This dog is almost 14 years old, and has been on congestive heart meds for at least 2 years now. He was my mom's dog. I got him for her when he was a puppy.
And yes Jean, that would be my son's MIL. She comes up every year. But as cold as it is getting already, she may not like it this year...LOL

I set things up on the farm to be somewhat self sufficient. When there's a power outage in Hilo, I don't notice it!

| Thanks Kassy, I thought they might have been similar terms as Kilo = 1,000 and M is Roman for 1,000. Mega just means big.
Oops! If I had bothered to look in the dictionary, mega also refers to a million.
A 1,000 x 1,000 (Kilo) = 1,000,000. So a Megabyte is about a million bytes.
There's my something new for the day! |

And
1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabyte
I think I may have two 80 gig harddrives in this computer. Son used it for gaming, so it has a lot of space I know.
He told me yesteday that he is running out of space on his other one, between gaming and school and my DIL's school too. |

| As I'm on a generator for power, I will need to get up in the morning, start running the program, and hope that I can stay awake to keep feeding the generator gas to complete the download.
If the generator stops or has a power lull, I have to start over.
I'm excited! |

| WOW Dave,
Then that download will be best done when you are up during the day and not using your computer.
I don't want you to have to get up just to put gas in the generator!!
I know how long downloads can take on dial up...I downloaded the anit virus on my boyfriends computer on dial up. |
