Hi everyone! I'm Winter. What a great community!

I'm a new mom to Waylon, 13 months old, married to a guitar player and I'm a fashion designer. I love cooking, crafting and digging in the dirt!

I'm really a novice to gardening...I'm pretty good at killing stuff, but I have determination and could use a little help from you all!

We live in Eagle Rock, California (basically Los Angeles) and I have no idea what my zone is! [Big Grin]

Anyways, I hope to get to know all of you soon. [Smile]

Thanks! What kind of pet? African Grey? Did you name your pet after Waylon Jennings? I admit to naming my child after him... [Big Grin] We are obviously BIG fans around here!

Nice to meet ya. [Wink]

My African Grey's name is Lola, named after the song by the Kinks. (Wasn't sure if "she" was a girl or boy when I had to name her...but, she IS a girl!)

Waylon is one of my skunks. [shocked]
Also have one named Willie!
And, Sunflower, Jasmine, Rose, Lilac...

The skunks don't live in the house! [Frown]
They're wild, but I feed them...and they love me!

AWW...how fun. Give Lola a big beak kiss for us and Willie and Waylon and the rest of the outlaws!

Havn't thought about naming our skunks yet, they're too busy getting mad at the dog next door and spraying right in our bedroom window. Yep. Nice.

Trade you a skunk for one of those black lambs!

Or, you could just spray paint a stripe down the lamb's back... [lala]

Oh, that would be too cool!

I had a dalmatian (uh...his name was "Spot") [Big Grin] and I used to paint extra spots on him all the time...red, blue, yellow, orange, purple...
it was really neat looking!
(Non-toxic paint, of course!)

I had a black lab. I used to paint a skunk stripe down her back about two days before bath day, so she'd look different for a few days. It looked pretty cool. Got a picture somewhere, but, alas, it's not in the computer. It's one of those old-fashioned pictures that were on paper, back when you had to get film developed. [nutz] [Big Grin]

We could say it was a lesson for Winter in how to get way off topic FAST!
We did good [thumb] ...went from "Welcome" to "Painting Pets" in way less than a page!

[Big Grin] No problem! Love the spots. Unfortunately the lizards won't tolerate being painted, but Mrs. Wuffles will wear a feather on hear head if I give her some Organic gouda cheese. [Big Grin] She thinks she's Paris Hilton.
