Sis, who's the gardener? She sure knows what she's doing!
I LOVE the birdbath and the hanging ferns. As for that ivy, yeah it's pretty, BUT it's gonna get outta control, Sis, and root itself into the wood and rot it out. I love ivy and planted it in our backyard in California -- wow, was I sorry! It totalled our wooden fence and rooted into the house siding. Oy! What a mess! Expensive too....
What is the beautiful plant you have just to the right of the ivy? And, wow, you have a HUGE yard! (Please tell me you don't have fire ants. When we were in the National Rowing Championships in Austin, we couldn't sit on the lawn at Towne Lake because of the damn fire ants! Ew.)
And, Girlfriend, I LOVE your beautiful magnolia tree. How magnificent! We don't have them up here; they like hot weather and we don't got none of that.
Thanks so much for sharing, Sis. I wish I could sit with you under that beautiful magnolia in Adirondac chairs, sipping mint julips (okay, I'll take a Jack instead)....
Beautiful yard, beautiful house. You done gooooood!
Sis

a week or two ago I remember you complaining about the hot weather (remember when you were cleaning those windows) ----and now you say you don't have any hot weather where you are!!!!!!!!!!
You have selective memory, eh?

Wouldn't that be fun.....sitting under the magnolia tree, sipping a Jack and talking and talking and talking.  I think we probably would be nonstop chatter. Only one thing.....it would have to be in the winter because you would never make it in this horrible heat... We are having a heat advisory today (100 degrees and humid) and an ozone watch. UGH!! I am staying close to the AC. 
We have had that magnolia tree for many years and have enjoyed the beautiful large white blossoms so much. It has been a real joy. And, the birds are so much fun to watch in the bird bath.
Thanks for the tip about the clinging ivy. I have had to cut it back some and ...darn those vines are stuck like glue to the wood....had to muster up all my strength to pry them off and then the paint came off, too. I will tell hubby and see what he thinks we should do.
No, we don't have fire ants. Sometimes a little ant pile pops up but they are not fire ants....thank goodness.
Thanks for the compliments....Keeping a nice yard is a lot of work but the exercise is good for me. BTW, hubby does help some.

Hey Sis,
Do you like bougainvillea? It's an incredible climber and thrives in hot weather. It's absolutely GORGEOUS, with bright red blossoms, and would look fabulous framing your back porch. Only problem is its sharp thorns.
I'll take a rain-check for that Jack under your magnolia, thank you very much. 100 degrees with humidity? I'd die. Right now, I'm sitting here with the doors and windows open; it's 69 in the shade with a slight breeze -- perfect!
Stay cool.
Sis

I can't get away with nothin'!
Yeah, it's true. We had a hot spell. VERY unusual for us -- EXTREMELY so. That's why we carry on so much when it happens. 80 degrees, and we just fall apart. But thankfully it didn't last -- it never does -- and now we're back to 69. Whew.
Boy, I can sure see I gotta be careful about what I say here!

If you buy the right size ball you can maintian your balance on the ball. It supports your back because you can not slouch at all. It forces you to sit up straight. If you slouch you fall off the ball. I've tried it myself and love it.
Before I started my job we had a PT come in and talk to us about how not to injury our backs. He also discussed the right sitting position at the computer. I'll have my husband help me later scan the info. and I'll post it.
Glad to hear your back is feeling better.
