Morning your Majesty, hard work doing shows, used to compete with goats
Sure hope your day is filled with sunshine
Julie, soon you will be holding those little ones and will forget all about the stress, let's hope it's an uneventful few days.
Couldn't sleep last night, felt like doom and gloom was lurking..got up and painted on dining room linoleum rug I'm doing, made headway..went back to bed for a few hours and now ready to play, well until I need a nap..set a goal for the weekend, tote bag for great niece 3 yrs old (done) quilt a quilt top (in progress) paint a 6'x8' linoleum rug for dining room (in progress)
If I don't get oth projects done I'll be pleased with one

Julie, look at this camelia tree. It is my Brothers tree in Washington state. It is huge! I have never seen one this big!
Taters that tree is gorgeous!
Stunning, sure wish we could grow such beauties here in the north
Taters, I love that tree! It is by far the largest I've ever seen! I love camellias! My grandmother had one in her yard that bloomed red with white variegation. To this day, I have never seen another the same color. When I asked an expert from the camellia society, he said that a virus can cause variegation in the flowers. Unfortunately, when my uncle inherited my grandmother's property, he cut down every tree/shrub that she had planted. The only plants left when I bought the property were some hardy amaryllis that were hidden in the brush by the fenceline and a gardenia. Oh, and her fig and pecan tree. I lost the pecan tree 2 years ago. Rotted from the inside out. The fig has some kind of woody shrub (weed) growing all around it. I've got to have it cut this year or it will eventually kill the fig tree.
Betty and Susie, hope you feel better. I don't have the energy or motivation to do much. Seeing the pain management doctor Wednesday and psychiatrist for anti-depressant the next week. I'll be so glad when they get my meds straightened out. With Destiny on bedrest, it;s hard for me to keep up with elani. And with the twins coming, i want to be a strong, energetic Nannie to all my grandchildren! ♥
Sorry to hear you lost all those plant's.
Make sure you let us know when those babies arrive.

Good morning, everyone! Camellia grafting was so interesting and fun yesterday! Hopefully, in about 6 weeks, I'll see new growth and know that the camellias grafted successfully. Grafted 2 cuttings onto each root stock for better results. Even grafted one rootstock with 2 different varieties, so if it survives, I'll have a camellia that grows with 2 kinds of flowers!
Almost 80 degrees yesterday! Getting my garden ready for my Squash challenge seedlings, planting roses, and moving plants outside from my sunroom! The fig tree in my yard has new leaves, which is a good sign that we're past out frost date! But I'll be prepared just in case we get a late frost.
here are some pics of the camellias I grafted. Aren't they beautiful?
Gunsmoke
Little Michael
Seafoam
Sawada's Mahogany (very dark red)
Star above Star
Those are all very beautiful!
I love camellias! Have tried cuttings but have never had any success! :(
Those are very pretty Julie. Good luck with your grafting!
Julie has the Easter swap open.

Susie I sure hope you feel better! Its been going through my house :( It finally caught me sunday night. Show A/B were the same for the babies. Dallas told me I shoulda wiped the milk off their face before taking them. LOL If they were 3 weeks older they wouldve placed better but its good to get them out. Iv only worn them to the end of the drive and back, they have pokies in there. May try to break in today.
Betty you are busy!!! Would love to see a pic of the projects :)
Julie How cool is that!? Love those pics!
I have to catch up today, sink is full of dishes counters are a mess. Colton got out of bed sunday night came down found some neon blue cupcake mix and proceeded to "make" cupcakes. Im out of eggs and milk and there was blue mix EVERYWHERE. Looked like a smurf got murdered. He was even nice enough to put all the dirty dishes back where he got them (still dirty =/), fill my coffee pot with coffee and im not quite sure what he did with the sugar..Little fart scrubbed everything off the floor last night and Ill get the counters ect today.
Hope everyone has a good one!
oh and I sat in front of the tv for 13 hrs yesterday and heard this joke lol....
How do you know its raining cats and dogs?
You step in a poodle

Boys will be boys! When mine were young, they got into the fresh eggs I just bought from a neighbors farm, and cracked everyone in their bedroom, on the carpet floor!

ya all have a nice eve .
Amanda, sure sounds like your boys are quite busy. My 3 youngest always kept me on my toes since they were just a year apart each!
Susie, here is a link to growing camellias in your area. Check it out!
http://www.cleveland.com/insideout/index.ssf/2010/09/cold-hardy_camellias_can_be_gr.html
Camellias are all over the place in our area. They thrive in the warmer climate and humidity. They grow into the size of a tree, but it takes many years. I hope my grafted ones take. If so, I'll pot them up to a 3 gallon planter next fall. Then one more year before I put them in the ground. Since the grafts are from blooming plants, they may bloom after being potted up!
Hey, come join the Easter swap. it will be fun!
Lol on the poodle, Queen Badcat!
Good morning, Queenie! Hope you wake to a clean house and sunshine! :)
The doctor changed the time of Destiny's c-section to noon Thursday. I'm excited, but nervous, too. Hope my doctors get my meds figured out so I have less pain and energy to keep up with them and Elani. Had to plant my new roses in containers for now because I just hurt too bad to dig into the garden. I'm so tired of feeling this way.
Susie, would love to see pictures of your painted rocks! Sounds like you and Zoey will have fun! I want to paint more planters with Liam and Caden when I visit TN for Easter! Or I might paint a birdbath pedestal with them! Fun!
Everyone have a good day and I hope to have good news when I return from my doctor's appt. :)
