ty all got home about 2pm had to unload & put things away ate my Lunch witch I Did not get to eat with the others at the park Long story Lets just say I Wish BADCAT would have been there I Know she would have held the others back when I wanted to deck one of the gals that were trying to get us out so they could set up for the their party I Told them we would be gone at 1pm but didn't have to be out til 1:30.

My sister & The Major was there so they told the gal to get out of there till we were done . thought we were going to have to call the cops but it ended well we were done @ 1:15 :) Many stalled Just because :) they didn't like the gals attitude .

anyway 100's of Plants & Good people I will be posting them on my face book page this lady with me painted this Picture for me & another couple Made & Brought the inch worm for me .:) I'm so blessed with so many good friends from the swap :) I Need to go post pictures but I need to lay back for a bit before I can focus on pictures . ya all have a great day.

All and all it sounds as though you've had a fun and successful day.
Looking forward to photo's
1st thing Monday I'd be telephoning the agency you rented the facility from to advise them of how things went..they themselvelves should have contacted the 2nd party and advised them of their error so they could make alternate arrangements.

Quiet day here, with all my work done in all the gardens it's time to play.

I have a secret garden that one cannot see unless you are aware of where it is,

Washed all the silver that decorates it on black bakers rack, chandelier cleaned, need new candles for it and the silver candle holders (one of these days I will actually light them). Lol
Have a list of needs to go shopping for tomorrow, oil cloth for the cafe set, matching outdoor fabric to make cushions for the chairs..could spend part of the day just making it cozy
Almost tempted to run into town to purchase supplies

Ocean Springs, MS

Susie, glad everything turned out ok. Get some rest!

Betty, I'd love to visit your secret garden! And it seems you get more done in a day than I do in a week! LOL

(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

Me too love to see it , & Yes everyone had a great time & city clerk & other consel will hear about it for the mayor was heated Just as I was I was very happy he was there so we did not have to call the One man police force :) Mayor stood his ground & The gal did leave till we were done .
anyone wanting to see the fun just go to my FB Page
Sue kohler-- Hastings Michigan I can friend you .
back to lay down .
Oh just found out I'm going to be a GREAT /Maybe GG Aunt
lost track of all my Nieces & their DD's ITS A BOY :)

BBL

Mount Sterling, KY(Zone 6b)

Julie-Yes I agree. Susie and Betty could give me a run for the money, I don't know if I could keep up or not. lol I told Susie that she made me tired just reading about what she has been doing. Same thing with Betty. Both are forces to be reckoned with.
Congrats to you (Susie) and your family. New babies are always a good thing. I am glad you had a good day and didn't let that woman ruin it. Some people think they are more entitled than others, and try to show it by being just plain obnoxious. Yeah , Badcat would have put her in her place in a hurry. If I ever get in a fight I want her on my side, lol.

Mount Sterling, KY(Zone 6b)

Victoria Harbour, ON

Lol, that describes it well Susie
Either that or we don't have a life😏

(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

Afternoon ev1 well 5 hrs later this was to be my day to rest I went out to PLANT 1 PLANT Planted 5 tomato plant's Amanda
brought to me Pulled weeds to plant the plant , Loaded 5 piles of weeds onto the trailer ,Brother Jim took them back to the pile , then I Picked strawberries, came in done up dishes zoey is washing some yard ornaments for me that My sister gave me yesterday , so here I'am haven a cup of coffee till zoey
gets done then I can do my strawberries up SHORTCAKE For super :))) So much for relaxing :) OOPS guess I will be resting it is pouring so I told zoey she could go play in the rain its like playing in the hose she don't believe me :)

so off to get my strawberries done BBL

Natick, MA

Oh DJ,
isn't it funny how that happens? I went out to water the gardens well this morning and ended up digging up a peony I'd put in that wasn't sprouting. I moved it and confirmed it's still alive (w/eyes ok) and then moved some coreopsis from the front garden to the back, and a crazy daisy I bought last year as a starter plant and it hadn't done much; dont think it had enough sun. Then there's the weeds you start..and one thing leads to another. Boy Nanny, sounds like you know Susie pretty well! HA HA!

So glad your Plant swap went well; but you DO deserve to rest...enjoy that strawberry shortcake!

Linda, I hope you are feeling better
Have a great day everyone!

So far the injections are working pretty good. Pain level is about 3, compared to the 10+ it was a few weeks.

Otway, OH(Zone 6b)

Hello,
Came home from work and decided to have my nephew clear a spot for flowers that are coming to me. Always glad for his help and he enjoys having a little spending money of his. own. I am now on vacation until the 15th, I'm sure that it will go fast. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so will get the things inside done that I need to do.

Everyone have a great evening.

Kathy

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Enjoy your vacation.

Victoria Harbour, ON

Gardens are getting a good soaking, nice steady downpour

Made it to fabric land, purchased enough outdoor canvas for beech, pillows and table cloth for secret garden

Was out with mom and siblings for supper, tired out so it will have to be a tomorrow project

Kathy, enjoy your time off

Lindakay, hope they can work on the 30% that's giving you trouble

Betty, that will most likely take surgery to get rid of the pain. My surgeon to be was not open Friday. I will call in the morning and try to make an appointment.

Natick, MA

Linda, Glad to hear the pain is so much better. I know 3 of 10 is still not great.

Kathy, enjoy your vacation! Time off is always good! ;o)

Betty, VERY pretty fabric. Why am I not surprised it's a floral!? :o)
