I like their angus burgers, and the big mac. But the portions are just epic. A lot of times I can't finish the meal.

Just reading this post makes me hungry! And no I'm not driving to McD's at midnight!
 
I love McDonald's Chicken Bacon Ranch salad! :)
 
Thinking about Botts picture in her signature. I love it. :)
 
Thinking about what all the things we will possibly get into at the Audie tomorrow.
 
Thinking about the Jags win over the Ravens last night....whoot!...tough and rough game....
 
Thinking I need to get the energy to get the last of the hand washing done before the colder weather hits and while it's still nice enough to let them dry outside. Still have 2 of hubby's sweaters to get done, then it's all done. Well, I have to take 2 comforters to get cleaned. MIL's washer isn't big enough. A neighbor is loaning her clothesline for me to hang them to dry.
 
Think about my brother, and all arrogant, ignorance he put up with simply because he gay.
 
Just thinking and wondering - Can you have plants for a butterfly bush in a pot? Also, are they bad for people with allergies? I was thinking about having a long planter at my living room window with plants to attract butterflies. This would make Sammy and Tinker happy as well as my daughter and she has the allergies to some blooms. I also have them, but can deal with it.

The issue I need to alleviate: Since our house will be a garage conversion, we will have basically all concrete driveway across the front of the house. We do not want to go through the expense and hassle of ripping out the concrete as it connects to the foundation of the garage and could cause cracks in the exterior wall. Our drive starts as a single car at the road, then as you go up a short drive widens out to 42 feet wide.

Here's a pic:

That 42 foot wall facing the drive will be the front of the house. I will have a 4 foot wide overhang coming out about 6-8 feet at the front door and I will be putting 2 large pots with a tree or something at the door. Any ideas on how else to break up the front "concrete yard"?

On the north side of the driveway where the city street and the driveway meet, plant something there, and maybe contrast it with the same thing, but smaller on the other side.

That's my suggestion.

We were thinking of plantings on the far side. The near side I have to keep open as that is where all the tree branches and stuff like that for the city to pick up once a week.

Luckily, On the far side there is a huge pine tree. IT was planted when hubby was 6 years old. It's easily 30 feet tall and provide decent shade to that corner. One neighbor's fence to one side that a wood fence to the bad development on the other side. I just want to find something that will be okay with allergies and grow in pots and look nice along the front of the home. The house will be two different shades of blue. Mainly a medium shade for the main color and darker for all the trim work. Hubby will park on the right and I get the left and we will sell the Explorer, I think. (I want)
 
That snow showers are forecast for tomorrow morning !! :(
