Oops.....did I say I only had one coming in 09?

15 years ago

Well that was true when I said it. I had only ordered the Stamiles new intro Talladega at that time. :)

Talladega

Since then, I've been sneaking over to the LA once in a while and just look at the beauties I've found there!!

Rock Candy...won today...needed it badly for my "Candy" bed!! :) Hey one excuse is as good as another, right? LOL

Rock Candy

Malaysian Marketplace which I've had my eye on for a while and thanks to Rita's photos of it this past season, I just had to have it when there it was waiting for me on the LA!!

Malaysian Marketplace

And of course we all know you have to get at least two from a seller to justify the shipping, right? So this beauty goes in the box with MM. :)

Valentine Darling

And then there's Party Pinafore of which several people on here have posted gorgeous photos of and when I saw it listed by one of my favorite sellers, Kim King, (Kingsbirdhouse) I snatched it right up!

Party Pinafore

And of course had to add another...you know the shipping thingy!! LOL So this pretty thing will keep PP company in the box next spring!!

Crown Of Enchantment

So, don't tell me I'm the only one being bad on the LA lately. Come on, show us what ya'll have coming this spring.

Jan, you've got some great ones coming. I've been weak too. I wasn't going to add any because I'm supposed to be downsizing. But Floyd Boatwright of Sassafras Gardens sent me his new price list and temptation got the best of me. He had several that I loved on garden tours last summer.

I also won two yesterday on the Lily Auction, Gossard's Lavender Curls and Morss' Violet Victory. I really didn't expect to get those two because I bid so low, so I was surprised when I won them. They are beauties though, so I'm glad to have won.

Good for you Debra. I added BTR and BBB last season but they didn't bloom for me yet. :(
Isn't it funny how sometimes you bid low figureing someone will outbid you, but not willing to go higher and wham! you win? Same thing with me on Rock Candy today. I picked it up for $30.00! How cheap was that? I've been trying like crazy to get it along with Precious Candy and Sherry Candy, but no luck yet on the last two. Got bids on them now, but it's doubtful they'll hold up. Gotta run...want to look up Lavender Curls and Violet Victory!! LOL

Has Anyone Had an island 14 ft or longer and used only one slab?

Bookmatching happens when two slabs are cut in sequence, so the pattern is identical, then they are opened up like the facing pages of a book, and those are the surfaces that are finished, the surfaces that were originally together. So you get a mirror image of the pattern on each slab. Then you just lay out the two pieces of the template such that where the seam will be, the pattern matches up, vein for vein. It doesn't have to be an edge, but each piece of the template has to be placed in the corresponding location on the two slabs. I'm not explaining this very well. Do you sew? It's like matching stripes when you lay out a pattern. You can get chevron patterns when the veins are going diagonally up on one piece and down on the other, and they meet in a "V" formation.

My heart breaks for you. Life can be so very difficult. But life is also long and changeable and we can't know what it holds. For now, you need your strength to get through from day to day and raise your beautiful children to manhood. Perhaps, someday, a time will come when you find a more stable person... someone worthy of the love of a good woman and two wonderful young men. Just because this was not the time or the right person, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist for you. Wish I could be of some help. (((Hugs)))

There is a Krispy Kreme in Santa Monica not too far from me, but I live less than half a mile from the original Randy's Donuts, and they do have good doughnuts. However, I prefer their apple fritters, which I've tried to make but are not as good as Randy's. I've had better luck making beignets, but I almost never have doughnuts or apple fritters, as they are not on my diet, and I try to avoid sugar. I will eat one once in a while, if it is in front of me. I think I would like a strawberry filled doughnut. Randy's always has a large line, and the building is quite the icon. The Donut Man looks good, especially for the strawberry filled doughnuts.

Lascatx, there are methods of thawing the ground to dig graves, and some states require it. It's more expensive, but it's done. https://adventuresincemeteryhopping.com/2015/02/27/frozen-funerals-how-grave-digging-meets-modern-times/ eta. as a sidenote of why I know this above... I once met a young man who was studying to become a mortician. Most funeral homes tend to be family businesses, but he wanted to enter this field without having a family background. First, we discussed these challenges (I wasn't aware of the whole culture of mortician work), and then, because he was receptive to my questions, I asked him a slew of questions about what happens to a body after it expires. Frozen ground came up, and he explained much of what the article above states. The whole discussion was just so fascinating, and this kid had such a calming yet matter-of-fact approach to it all. He had truly found his calling.

Jan, At least when you posted regarding Talladega you knew that it wouldn't be lonely come spring! Your new aquisitions are wonderful, as are yours Debra!

I am with Jean ... I can't wait until next year's pictures.

So far I have been so good about staying far away from the LA this fall... could have something to do with planting over 60 new kids this fall and thinking about the seeds chilling in the fridge which will be seedlings come spring.

I do however have an AHS voucher that I will have to find something to do with next spring.......

Good buys, Jan. I am really anxious to see pics of Talladega from your garden - hopefully you will get blooms next summer. Lucky you that you have so much room to keep adding daylilies.

I added about 50 this fall and transplanted about 45 seedlings into flower beds. I am quickly running out of room and NO I am not making any more beds. Note to self: No more flower beds, no more flower beds... Thanks to everyone for their daylily photos and comments last summer. They helped me make my choices this past fall.I have only added 4 for spring, but think I have room for about a half dozen more.
From the Stamiles I am buying Sir Francis Drake.

Get Jiggy

I have not been too bad on the LA, having bought only 2 (so far)

Jennifer Trimmer

Sherry Candy

Oh goodness, hurry up spring!!! Looking at all the beautiful photos being posted on the forum lately has me wishing winter would hurry up and go away!!! LOL

More nice acquisitions! Next year's forum should be an absolute photo fest!

Ann.. I will be dying to see how Get Jiggy does for you... note to self, please be sure to take a picture! It was my favorite of the butterfly collection and made myself resist until I see how it does in a garden setting.

I still just stop and stare whenever I see a picture of Talladega but still think it will not open here so I am skipping it.

Jan- You and me both have been busy on the Lily Auction. Looks like you have some real beauties coming for spring. You should love Malaysian Marketplace. I think mine is about as stunning as anything can get!
