Shirley has faithfully hung up hanging plants around the house every year. 
And every year our black thumbs cause them to weaken and eventually lose
blossoms and fail to bring any new buds.  This year a friend said she had
to water almost every day a bit, and fertilize once or twice a _week_.  

We had fertil;ized once or twice a summer.  So she has been fertilizing
atlewast once a week.  Lo and behold, a geranium out front [south] that was
nearly dead has blossomed like crazy. 

Oh the wonders of the world!

  a pecan half in the center of each. Close the dates around the pecans
  and set aside.
  
  Roll the cheese mixture to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured
  work surface.  Cut out 3-inch circles.  Wrap a circle around each
  stuffed date, pinching the edges gently to enclose.
  
  Place the stuffed cheese circles on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake
  in a 350F oven for 15 to 17 minutes, until golden brown.  Cool on a
  wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
