Hi Diane,I was wondering if getting there at around 11:30 but at least before noon would be too late to come?My friend Sue won't be able to make it She is due to become a Grandmother for the first time any time now and is afraid to venture off.So I have another friend Jacquie who is coming with me and she doesn't get off till late early morning and we won't get on the road till around 9:30am or so and it's a good hour and half or better from here. So will I be too late? I sure hope not.Hope to see you all soon.

Weather.com is now predicting morning clouds/afternoon sun, so I'm hoping we're still on. I have two Barbara Mitchell daylily divisions, and five of the NOID pink daylilies potted up, as well as three Cryptotaenia seedlings. I didn't get to the Autumn Joy sedum, the bees like it too much right now, and I don't like the bees. I'm planning to completely redo the bed it is in next spring, so I might bring it to the spring swap. Here is a picture of what the NOID daylilies will look like when they bloom. They are all small fans, so might need even a couple of more years till they bloom. Looking forward to the swap. Alison

Hi Everyone, Sounds like a great day for our plant swap! I will be bringing some hand-crafted things for the doorprizes - an autumn welcome slate, a candleholder with a scarecrow painted on it, a hand painted concrete stepping stone (painted with outdoor safe paint), and I plan on picking up 2 pots of mums. If Heather would like, we could use her crafts as well, for door prizes. I wish she would contact me. I am bringing pickled beets and eggs as my dish. I also promised to bring some trash bags, so I will bring those. So far, I have potted up a lavender (Lady is the variety), a Blue Boy Garden Phlox, some pots of a shorter variety of Shata Daisy called Silver Angel that I started this year from seed, some pots of rooted cutting of Coral Carpet Rose, and like Cathy, I will be bringing some named daylilies and irises in plastic grocery bags...will be digging them tomorrow. I may have a few more things too. Hope to see you all there. Linda
