You can use some plastic mesh fencing like this. It comes in like 2' and 3' rolls and doesn't cost a lot. Got it at Lowe's. I put some around my parent's plant that was getting eaten by rabbits and squirrels and it stopped them. It's sturdy enough that if u wrap it twice around your tree it should stand on its own. Good luck. :)

Thanks very much, I may get some if the fruit stand vendor tells me the trees were treated. If not, I'll just let him nibble away. I've got the puppy gate around it now, but I really need it to keep him from getting into the kitchen. So if it has been treated, I might get some of this mesh. Thanks again.

It must be pretty strong in order to protect a puppy, that's good endorsement.

Yes :) She got it in the gardening section of our Canadian Tire Store... they sell everything :D They sold it in rolls of certain length, and what was extra at the end of the railing she just left rolled up, and it was not in the way. It might now actually be in the garden haha. I will have to look next time I am over :) The weather has not been conducive to sitting about in the back yard :(

Painting dining room chairs (yes this is the project I started well over a couple of months ago but I'm almost finished!) and watching "What About Bob?"

I've seen this movie so many times and I laugh hysterically every single time. It's comedic genius.
What color are you painting your chairs?

I like What About Bob? ​too. That phrase "baby steps" plays in my head sometimes! :)

You're quite welcome. :) I hope it works out.

Hi there Galatea. :)

They are going to be dark gray...mostly. There is a curvy X in the back of the chairs and I'm painting some of those black and some red. I have a black table and red cabinet in the dining room. So, a while back I was trying to decide what color and ZeroT was SO kind and nice and photoshopped the different colors for me so I could decide. He's so nice! :). I'm definitely posting pictures here so all my peeps that were a part of that conversation can see the results. It's been so long, though, they may have forgotten...haha.

I LOVE what about bob...I'm baby stepping to the door. I'm baby stepping down the hall. I'm baby stepping on the elevator.

Hey...only 10 more visits to my page and I'll be at 1,000. I wonder who will be the 1,000th visitor. I suspect announcing it here will cause one of three reactions in people:

Reaction 1: Visit my page to get it to 1,000.

Reaction 2: Avoid my page to keep it at 990.

Reaction 3: Completely not care and ignore this post.

Deep thoughts?

I wanna talk to someone, hopefully you are that someone,

If nothing in this world matters, family or friends, jobs or status, money or possessions..

There is no IF, the truth is,

Since, nothing from birth til death matters in that it cannot be taken with us after death,

Then, our struggle is with letting go of the emotions and attachments for those things, persons, in this life...

The goal is to humble ourselves to give all we have for the glory of God and love as the Lord has loved us...

Is this right? Is this how you feel?

I do, i wasted enough on worthless things,

Is my life in God's plan to use the remainder of my life to do for him?

If not, why remain?

Isn't salt once used worthless?

31 father of 2 daughters, nothing perfect about me.

What are you people doing up so late :)
Well, good Sir, I'm painting dining room chairs. My life is super busy and the only time I can accomplish things is when I should be sleeping, if you must know. ;)

Also, I'm a night owl.
