Got this nice sized Fiddle leaf fig at Wally world for $5! I mean,I have enough plants but how can you walk past it for 5 dollar!?

😉 😀

Hey Jim, what a nice visit to your town.
Really enjoyed that, thank you.

Love the tree-shaded streets, great architecture and the town square.
My town's planning to build a town square...only 100 years late 😆

What does M.U.M. mean? Is it a university?

Quiet town...or everybody hiding indoors at 104 F ????
Looks like all flat lands...how far away is winter skiing?

Your corn is so much taller than the cornfields here...ours is only 3 feet tall (cow-corn) from our cold spring and heavy rainfall events.

Great wall of privacy you've built with the Castors.

and yup...that fiddleleaf is a steal at $5.00.

Great pics Jim. It looks like a very nice place to live 8) What is the population of your city?

John

Awesome pics Jim, thanks for sharing. 😀

COncidering the pics ive seen of the midwest, im surprised that corn is still green and alive....

Nice place Jim.

Thanks Y'all

The corn looks better than it is,the corn ears look like little cigars
so all the green is in the leaves....

pop is around 9600 US 🙂

Thanks Barb

MUM is a campus of meditators,a college to boot.....

it was 7:25ish in the morning,not to much traffic.

I always wanted a Fiddle leaf fig since I was a kid,
always thought they were cool-fun to have one now and
it looks like it is ready to grow 🙂

btw
Be cool if the Dumb cane stayed that lime green color...take care

Nice shots Jim...........the dawn redwood has a strange shape..........must be to all your wind out there?

Jim - I used to clean a house for an east indian family who had a 25 foot tall fiddle fig (they had high vaulted ceilings). The husband told me he brought it from india, from a tree in his parents yard that was hundreds of years old! Dispite the size, it was only in a 4 gallon pot!!!!!!

ITs hard to get thos dieffenbachia to keep the proper colour. Too much shade they stop growing, and too much light they turn bright green.

Tim - Dawn redwood get hit my lightning all the time from what ive read. It snapps the top off, and it regrows. Probably why that tree has a strange shape. Still very gorgeous trees!

Thanks Jesse

It may have had the lead branch snapped by ice or something,this
is somewhat common in ice storms here..with those conifers...you know...
with all those dang little needles and such,they do tend to collect the ice 😯

I will take a closer look sometime when it's safe to be outside! :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: :blob6: :blob6: :blob6: :angry4: :angry4: :angry4: :angry4:

Hmmm...a campus of meditators.
I should send you some folks (who don't think at all) 😆 😆 😆

Hope your blistering heat ends with two days of rain. 😀

We have plenty of non thinkers here...well,only think of themselves...same thing 😀

It does make for a peaceful community when 5000 people-or so-sit down to meditate at 5pm

We got .18" last night,enough to wet the ground and raise the humidity for a day 🙁

This has been brutal-I need to get some pics of the suffering,the Hostas are almost dead back to the ground.

Looks like a nice town. Nice change of pace from the stress jungle that is where I reside.

Thanks Jack

I always chuckle a little if I don't make a traffic light the first time here
....because it happens once or twice a year 😀

One thing that is fun about living in a small town is,once I get my stuff on a job
I can usually just ride my bike to where ever I am working,it somehow doesn't feel
like work if you get to ride your bike 🙂 I think the last time I came back from Az
I only put like 500 miles on my car in a year.

Some people here don't even use their cars,they always ride their bike :cheers:

The picture with the band shell reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode called, "Willoughby".

If you have not seen it, look it up. Trust me, it is a compliment. 8)
