Barb & I went to visit Cindee today at Cindee's place. Cindee is recovering nicely after her bionic hip surgery.

You can tell Cindee is getting better fast by looking at Cindee's hand. Hehe

My mind took a little trip with you when you described it. I know it was a special place for you, and I know you were relieved to find it still beautiful and a special place for somebody else. I always was ambivalent about going back to see an old home with memories, for fear of what I'd find. I have anyway, and in some cases it's heartbreaking, and in others I came away like you did. Relieved. The people who bought my house when I married have kept it well tended and loved, and I go by it several times a year on my way south. I detour off the highway to the little village where it stands and drive by it and I see my children sitting in the tree or riding their horse in my mind's eye. Makes me feel like a time traveler.

We had a great trip! What's that tree at Farmer's Market?

Bumblebeez... I am fairly certain that those are a European species of Linden (Basswood), Tilia cordata, that has been introduced into this country and is usually the species or sometimes a cultivar, that is offered in the nursery trade. They are a cool climate tree and never attain the stature in the south that would be expected in the northern states. The habit can naturally be pyramidal or rounded. I know of one in a local garden that is very old and is only about 25-30 ft. tall. If you have or plan to visit the Statue of Liberty in NY harbor, you will see these trees in the Plaza between the ferry dock and the rear of the Statue. They also grow in Manhatten's Central Park. They will tolerate some very austere site locations. Many cities in Europe and the US use them as "Street" trees that are located between the sidewalk and the curb. I have no recommended source for these, but I'm sure there are a number of growers that supply those for municipalities that buy hundreds of them. If you order online, be sure to check the vendor at GardenWatchDog before ordering. Rb

The kids and I had a great time, too! So nice to see everyone - and thanks so much for all the goodies! Erik, the kids had a blast helping with the grill, thanks for letting them assist! Oh, if anyone saw the back of my truck, can you believe that we managed to stuff in half a dozen barberry bushes from a 'please-take-these-away' dig on the way home? I had two in the front seat and would have been in extreme pain if I hadn't used the sun shield to keep them off me. (yeah, we're a little crazy...) Can't wait to see everyone in the spring! PS - Cynthia - we brought hot dogs.. =) Lynne

PJ, those four nerve daisies are somethin' else. They popped right back up and kept blooming! Richard, first you show us an Elvis blue Christmas and now we know why they call it a 'blue' norther. Great photos. And you hardly had to step out the front door to get them. No mountains to climb like me ;-) Looks like you traveled a little farther to get the pictures on your links. Those are great!!!! But one of them showed me what your problem is -- you need to take down that "Welcome Winter" sign and bury it somewhere! If you don't then Carrie is gonna' come over and shoot it full of holes. LOL!

Yes we did have a wonderful time. Cindee walked almost all the way around her house which I think is pretty darn good for someone who just had hip surgery.
Not only does her hand look fabulous, she showed us her butt and that was .......fill in the blank

Cindee, glad to hear you are doing so well and will continue to heal. By this time next year, we won't be able to keep up with you. It's such a blessing.

Your garden looks great and I can't wait to see it next year. Have a great day - month - year!!

Hey,guys! I did some research and found out that Cindee has been faking hip surgeries. She did no get the first nor second that she claims. She is just wanting attention,poor thang.
To have to go into such an ordeal just for some needed attention. I say just look at that beautiful garden. I wish
my blue pea vines looked that good. So I crown thee Cindee
her highness Queen "pea vine". All hail to her majesty.
OK Cindee is that enough attention? Now get off your bee hive
and make Denise some breakfast.
Love,Felix

I'll say that your garden does looks like you've been working in it. How did you get the pea vine to look so good? Would you like some double blue pea vine seeds?
Great to have you back here!

Before surgery, Dennis and I went out and hacked, weeded, trimmed and pulled out dead stuff all around the house. I did nothing but let it grow back! The blue pea just does it's own thing, I do nothing to it.

That is a Kalanchoe, Ima. I have never seen one like it before. It's flowers are all in rosette clusters..very pretty one, indeed. Found it around Easter at Fresh Market of all places.

Felix, you are right, no hip surgeries, I been faking it. I can't hide these implants any longer!!
