Wednesday's Bold Encounter with A Snake in the Grass
Comments (18)Mantis - Bold Encounter pretty much has that color scheme all the time here. The petal color starts out a darker cream after a cool night but as the sun shines on it, it takes on a very white appearance. The eye and edge is close to the true purple in the crayon box. But don't get too excited about it. I received it as a single fan six or seven years ago, and guess what? It's still a single fan. I have grown it in a barrell with two other daylilies, those having slowly increased. Maybe if I had it planted in the ground there would be a different story. I sure would love to see a clump of it someday. Debra...See MoreSnakes in the bathroom
Comments (46)Venomous snakes have a triangular shaped head (from ears to nose) and non venomous snakes have a more rounded (or spoon shaped) head. Your construction snake looks like a black king snake. They eat rats. They are your friends. We had one living in a tree hole next to our porta potty during construction. Black king snake, non venomous, rounded head: Timber rattlesnake, venomous, triangular head: Rattlesnake that got in my way (54", 9 rattles). My sister told me how to skin it. My DH would not even touch it. He's hanging in the den now (the snake, not DH...although.... ;) ) Really ticks me off when he kills the non venomous snakes in our yard. We have a large garter snake living near our front veranda. He is eating my frogs, which is bothering me, but I told DH not to kill him. 15yo boy down the street shot/killed a 13 rattlers snake taller than he is a few weeks ago....See MoreUnethical Realtor!!
Comments (24)Sometimes things happen for a reason and turn out better than you thought at the time. A similar situation happened to us, in which a listing agent on a property withheld a counter offer from us to the seller. She wanted us to just accept the seller's counter offer, saying she got another offer on the property...but instead we wrote a counter offer and told her if we lost the property to another buyer, that was fine with us. Turned out she was lying, anyway. The reason we found out is we got suspicious when we never received a response to our counter offer for almost 2 weeks (and we were all cash and could close in 14 days), so we contacted the seller directly and asked if he had seen it. He said he didn't and then he said that his agent told him we lost interest and bought another property...which was totally untrue! Talk about an unethical Realtor!!! Anyway, after this happened and even more unethical behavior displayed by the same agent, we ended up buying the property next door at 17% less than the first seller's lowest price. We closed our deal in 12 days and the first seller has had his property listed with the same unethical Realtor for 4 1/2 years now and he started out at $850k and he was at $259k when we made an offer. She's unethical, he's stupid...what a match! ;P goldensmom, I wish you the best of luck in finding your new home. It will find you eventually, but I hope the sooner the better! BTW, you're absolutely right...that agent should have presented your offer to the seller under your terms. Instead, that agent wrongfully acted like a principal. Non-refundable $20k deposit and "non-negotiable" full price? Hah! You did exactly what I would have done...good for you. P.S. Your comment about him saying he was Realtor of the year made me chuckle...I guess putting themselves on a pedestal could be one thing unethical Realtors have in common. The unethical Realtor in my situation introduced herself in our first telephone conversation by saying, "I'm the number one agent"....See MoreA Few Repeats To Show
Comments (18)Debra, Two Sues was planted in fall of 2016 so this year first blooms. There were two scapes originally which thrilled me with their blooms, but I thought that was it. Having the plant produce two more scapes was amazing to me. There hasn't been a bad bloom in the bunch. Thundercat is another one that shocked me with rebloom, and I have discovered a new scape on Get R Done. I never thought that would rebloom, especially since it is brand new in the garden. It seems that every day I am finding more scapes and will post pictures as the blooms come. Here's a picture for you, our favorite Small World Snow Owl. It had its last bloom today....See MoreChristopher CNC
