Indigo Rose ~ I believe mine was/is known as Cimicifuga racemosa species, possibly 'Brunette', altho I no longer recall what I bought so long ago. According to Margaret Roach it does smell delicious, unlike the rest of the types. Margaret has written columns for the NYTimes, several books and has a show & podcast via PBS.

My apologies for not having the technological capability to post a link -- I am an elderly neophyte when it comes to that sort of talent. I did manage to become familiar with horseless carriages - tho I do not drive them - and I no longer haul the laundry to the creek to scrub, but the workings of most things in this modern world puzzle & defeat me. My brain simply will not function in the direction of technology. Sad, so sad, but I manage to live with the dysfunction. So far! =)
And the flowere are still scenting the whole kitchen this morning. Woo-hoo!

We adopted a 14pound rescue Terrier mix (Teddy) two years ago. A few months later we then found a 75 pound rescue Doberman (Logan) in need of a home. The boys got along great and so we adopted Logan, too. Both were estimated to be about two years old when we got them. Two years later “The Boys” are still the best of buddies, and we love them both! We are so blessed!

Timberline has a program where you upload a photo of your house and can try different colored shingles. A soft, light gray would look great on your home. Brown seems wrong.

stone homes, the first media operation I looked at in your link makes me question the rest of it.
I view NPR as left-leaning and hardly in the middle of the road as it suggests. Media outlets that try to keep a balance, as with NY Times' Op-Ed department, have representatives of the spectrum of opinions. NPR seems not to bother doing so.
I consider myself to be mostly in the middle (with some exceptions) and I long ago decided that NPR's views were too extreme and off-putting for me to want to listen to its broadcasts. Maybe others feel differently.

Thanks for starting the thread, @Sherry8aNorthAL.



































Yes, I know this is sexist, but still a little funny.
