(34,661 posts)Country Clubs as to give the Diners a view of their Palatial Settings. Yah right,that's what a 100k got you.
Who ever got the Sod contract sure screwed over the American Tax Payer. Like you mentioned,looks like end of the Season crap from Home Depot's Garden center.
Those Scrubs are a Maintenance nightmare.
But,Donnie got his Green Stage for his Pressers.

(28,705 posts)How could she do that? Why did she do that?
And then added a sidewalk. Just what a garden needs: CEMENT!
She has horrible taste. She should've left well enough alone.

But why? why did she have to put her paws on the Rose Garden?

(38,633 posts)In the first pair, the tree closest to the building looks bigger in the "before" (left) photo than in the "after" right photo, implying that it could be the "after." There appear to be roses in the "after" photo but not in the "before" but it is hard to tell, because the left photo is early spring (tulips in bloom; roses would be dormant or just beginning to leaf out). The sidewalks in the photo below these look more like the right photo that appears to show roses in bloom.
The angle on the 1923 photo is so different from the others that it is hard to compare.

Aloha! Good to see you too!

Spazito
(55,497 posts)I stay close to home because of covid of course but there is a mandatory mask bylaw where I live so it feels safer. My family is well thank goodness, I don't see them often even though they don't live very far except for one of my grandchildren who lives with me now.
How are things with you? I saw Hawaii has had recent outbreaks, I hope it's not too bad for you!
I am proud of our government in how they have handled the covid crisis so far, they did the difficult thing and shut everything down while they provided funds for Canadians who were unable to work and they are still providing it so far.
Cha
(319,076 posts)right from the beginning and it shows. So happy for you.. and a little bit envious.
Oahu is the county where there's been a recent outbreak.. I think from visitors. We're on Kauai and we've been doing good All Masked up!. no deaths from covid so far.. Thank Goodness!
It must be nice having one of your grandchildren living with you!
Spazito
(55,497 posts)that says everything about the people there being responsible and taking this horrible virus seriously. We have had one death where I live but Edmonton, which is our neighbour, did really well at first but now has a serious outbreak as soon as they started opening things up and has has a number of deaths, mostly in long term care homes.
It is great to have my grandson here, he is great company and our personalities are very similar which makes it work very well. We are really more like roommates than grandma and grandson. He is very close to publishing his book so it has been very exciting with a touch of nail biting nervousness on my part, lol.
Cha
(319,076 posts)grandson, you, and your family!
It does say a lot about the People here on Kauai and anywhere that People are really trying. Especially those with Maggot Govs that make it so hard to protect themselves and those they love. Thinking of Florida where I have a sister & her family in Gainesville.. and a Nephew & his girlfriend in St Pete.. all Dems!

(55,497 posts)the white supremacist in the WH and the repubs. I am so hopeful, though, that will all change in Jan 2921.
Biden/Harris is a dynamite team!

Probably one who grew up spelling his name in Cyrillic letters.
Joe might have to have it dug up just to sweep for embedded spying devices.

So what other ones? Need an appropriate animal.
