No, Caribbean lobsters; no claws.
Rock and slipper 'bugs' are generally smaller... and much more difficult to locate/spot/harvest.

I thought the same!
When my DH of over 30 years now and I got married my son (from a previous marriage) was about 5. First day of kindergarten DH was late to work. Had a client meeting. DH explained his tardiness reason - had to take sone to kindergarten. Client "but you just got married" DH "yea, and next week he is going to college!"
True story - really happened.
Nice to see everyone check in and feeling better. And the music is wonderful!
There was more to say but for now my brain is tired.
dat's not possible.........wiffout claws......how do dey hold dere umbrella drinks?????
hehehehe too funny!!!
It sounds to me like you want raised beds put in. You can sit on the side and weed to your heart's content.
For me... I plant wildflower seeds. Every year, I see what gets flowers in 3 months, and pull the rest. I'm getting fewer and fewer places to plant the seeds, because wildflowers come back each year.
My newest acquisition from the local flea market. The very nice man who sells these makes them by hand.
Ohhh, that's really nice! I love the smell of cedar!
Hi Uncle Willie and Little Bird - very nice to see you back on the porch.
Left yesterday for some fishing, got back dinner time today. I must be getting old, this was the best part of the day when we all just kicked back enjoyed lunch and told fish tales.
That's always the best part of any gathering! Glad you were able to go!
Some of us have cute pictures of pups. We've got cute Miles pictures.
Wow, he is really growing, & he has his focus, too! He is such a cutie, it's really going to be fun watching him grow!
Me too, Iffy. I grew up on a farm and we would cut our own Christmas trees. Sometimes they were cedar and smelled just wonderful.
I'm still adapting to not being able to garden as much as I used to. But I have come up with ways to do a lot of things. I have a director's chair, with bars across the bottom sides that keep it from sinking, that works for a lot of gardening. It's light enough to move easily but sturdy enough to use the arms for getting up and down.
My other favorite is a rolling scooter with an old fashioned tractor seat on it -- harder to get up and down from, but since it rolls I don't need to get up and down as much. I did have to get a quad cane as a booster lever for that, since my regular cane sinks in the garden soil. My scooter isn't quite as fancy as the one in the picture, but it does have the steering lever. My first one didn't, which removed a lot of the convenience of rolling.
The things I can't do are any kind of shoveling, hole digging or post pounding, since I can't balance doing those. I'm still hoping to find someone to hire to help with those and some inside projects. Liz does help a lot when she's up here, but she can't make it very often - for some reason she has a life of her own, too.
I was hoping to do some raised beds this year, but can't afford it now - maybe next year.

He is adorable, Janet. He looks so happy.
I used to get cedar trees for Christmas too..........wondered why I was always sick in December.........finally found out I was very allergic to cedar!!!
Douglas Fir is my friend, but they are much pricier. Finally got an artificial one, but then we quit usin it. Has been quite a few years since I've had a Christmas tree up. Even my lil 2 foot one.
Nice to see you amoret!! Love that lil tractor seat thing. My sil got some raised beds built with cinder blocks, but dunno if she doesn't have the dirt, or what, hasn't really used em. But if the heat don't get stuff, the critters do here.
Speaking of trees....
(Stop me if I've told this story before).
At a family reunion in NC in 1990 a cousin from Temple TX attended with her two kids, maybe 5 and 8. The kids had never seen pine cones, or at least not the big ones common in the Mid-Atlantic, and they were fascinated by them. After I got home I filled a big box with pine cones and mailed it to them.

If that cousin still lives here, and you ever come to visit, ya gotta let me know.
I am in complete agreement about what the outside should look like. I also have modified my definition of lawn. If it's green, it's lawn. Doree bought some weed and feed the other day and I told her, "hell no, you'll kill the lawn!"
OK! It's hot outside, humid too... Maybe I can wait for summertime!
You know I was just thinking, the pictures of buds and babies and such here just makes the place feel more like home. I really like it here and am very, very fond of my extended family. Overall it's a rather comfortable porch isn't it?

Ah, nothing better than good old langusta tails! Practically lived on em when I was stationed in Key West years ago (1980 - 1982).

I have two of the director's chairs just like that. Gonna get Doree one of the rolling seats. Amoret if you lived just a little bit closer (say 2500 miles or so) I'd be more than glad to come over and lend an occasional hand.I'm still adapting to not being able to garden as much as I used to.

Next week starts the overhaul of the master bath. Of course the only thing that qualifies it as master is it's attached to our bedroom otherwise, it's exactly like the other one. We're pulling out the fiberglass tub and surround and installing a walk-in shower with glass doors and really nice floor to ceiling tile. I'll post some before and after pics.
You know it really sucks that we're getting everything we wanted done just to sell the place!
