well love ya all but i have got to go put the chicks in then I'm going to get jammies on after my shower & I will get on my laptop so BBL .
WOW Susie,
You have been working your TAIL off! You deserve a nice hot bath and some flexeral. Sorry you're hurting! I can relate tho,but I dont think I've been working as hard in my garden as you have digging up all those plants!
Picked a bouquet of blooms from the yard this afternoon for my office this week. I love to have flowers or a flowering plant to brighten the day! It's a bit large and (?) ostentatious (sp?) == I asked my daughter if it looks like someone died (funeral arrangement) - LOL!
But it's all I have available for the "pickings" right now:
Himilayan lilac
Rhododendron
Bridal Veil
G'night all~
Beautiful flowers.
Susie there is more nights than I like to count having to take something for the pain. But I have to watch what I take if I have to get up and go to work the next day. So hope that I get my vacation the 8th.
Everyone enjoy the rest of your evening.
Kathy
Beautiful bouquet val! My brother calls my fountain an ostentatious water feature. lol I told him he was just jealous cause he doesn't have one in his pond.
I just finished packing strawberries to go in the freezer and I am ready to call it a day. And of course I had to have strawberry shortcake after looking at all those luscious berries. :)
Have a good night you all!
Gorgeous Val!
Boy Susie, I SURE wish I could come to your plant swap!
Sweet dreams everybody.
GM all Love the Bouque Val all I Have is mostly Irises but they are so pretty in the gardens I hate to cut them :)
& They would die fast in my little house :)
Kat : I Don't take them unless My Body has really been over worked or my leg feels crampy.
sunny but very cool I Need to go get my Blood draw & then off to dig up the Lilies .
I got the Plants ID they are
Bistort-- & Lysimachia ciliata-- Firecracker
so much to get planted today also :) u all have a great day BBL
Well after this plant haul you won't be able to say that you have mostly Irises any more. LOL Looks like a lot of different plants for you. Some pretty interesting ones. The Royal Gardens are going to be even more beautiful! Have a great day your Majesty.
Nanny - good for you for calling your brother on his fountain envy :o)
I'm with Turtles, Susie! Wish I lived in your neck of the woods!
You will have tons of interesting plants to look at.
Susie, I only have 2 iris in bloom, and didnt want to cut them as I dont think they last long in water. Heavenly smell! Remind me of my childhood as my mother had iris inher garden, and peonies, so both have a fond spot in my heart. I never heard of either of those plants. Look interesting....
Have a good day ladies, it dropped from 80+ yesterday to 50! Least we're getting some much needed rain.
It is raining here again and it was 57 when I walked in the door from work today. At least it waited until I got home before it started to rain as I hate to drive in the rain.
Susie, you will have a more beautiful garden by the time you are finished. I was able to go to sleep on my own last night so that was a blessing.
Everyone enjoy what is left of this day.
Kathy

No big plans for vacation. My son is going on vacation with his girlfriend and her family that week so am planning on staying home and getting everything that I have from being stole. I think that I live in the middle of thieves.
WOW -- I have total plant envy DJ! WOW -- that's alot of plants and I echo everyone else - I want to come shopping in your yard!
BAD CAT -- Happy Bday from ALIKAT.....hugs and wishes for you!
IT is CHILLY here....47 when I got into my car tonight! BRR.....but I'm loving the rain especially since I have to be gone for a few days....I was so worried because my DH won't water the gardens while I'm gone and with our mini drought they were needing watering everyday! YEAH - I don't have to worry!
Everyone worked hard today....hope you all had a relaxing evening!
Happy new year Baddie!

Up and at it, have my sewing friends coming in 1/2 hour, all working on different patterns
Sitting with coffee in hand enjoying the sun shinning through the front window..high of 66f today, breezy so won't feel as hot
Need a few hanging baskets so likely take a trip into town later this aft as I also need an ink cartridge for printer..will check walmart for a TV
Went on Sunday, they are doing inventory, not a TV in stock within the sizes I wanted..perhaps a shipment has come in
So there goes my day
Hope it's sunshine in all your neighbourhoods, enjoy!
Betty, you can go to walmart.com find the one you want and they will ship it to you with free shipping.
I find wal-mart will ship to the store for free but not to your home .A frind told me about a place to get ink online was just going over to check it out . sometimes it is just as cheap to by a New printer but wal-mart say they match prices so this place Quil.com has my Ink for $15. for the black so going to go see if they keep their word :)
Gm all So Much to do today & I don't Know where to start .
I got the call yesterday letting me know that another gal Had reserved the Pavilion @ the Park for the same day as My plant swap , So I Have had to scramble to contact as many as I could to let them know we have to start one hr earlier .
Now I Hope it all goes well . so today I Need to rearrange my trailer so I can get much more onto it ,
also go out to wal-mart & Pick up my Ink, & find a few gifts,
will try to get back in later today Has anyone heard from Rose318 ? Love to chat with each one but i Need to get started while I Feel up to it :)
