Okay and my box is too small!!! I just found something to add that pushed the sides out. I got one of the ordered items today so, with any real perservance I can attempt a shipping for Thurday. Wouldn't that be great. My theme got turned on its axis a bit so I'm chawin on some creative way to pull it all together. I am rather like a mad scientist; adding a bit of this and that. And now that I received my package, I feel the flames held to my soles. Vey es mir!

I really know nothing about these machines but I will say I would think that you should be able to set any spin speed on the Normal cycle anyway. With towels, jeans, sheets you need a fast spin. I would call them and ask about this.

I certainly wouldn't make the "Hoarder's" show with filth. I can make it presentable to my MIL within the time she pulls in the driveway and gets to the front door! The floor needs vacuuming more often than not, but that's got to change now that baby is crawling! grrr, I hate to vacuum! I firmly believe that anti-germ campaigns are hurting our children more than helping. I believe in dirt. And "YES" 'done & gone' is a great feeling!! I've now got 3 new ideas laying on my table to work over ;)

Froggy..this is her 1st "litter" and was a total surprise. (click on the link to read my post) Abby is a great Mommy. Last night after I'd posted this picture, my son noticed that one of her eyes has opened!! I haven't checked this morning, but I bet the other one is open by now!! Here is a link that might be useful: Abby Has Puppy

Beautiful pictures! Thank you for sharing them. I love "Summer Breeze". I have that one and it really lights up a dark corner!

It seems most Allegan Fogs I have seen look pretty spindly...yours is the first one I can remember saying "wow" to! They are all very nice!

Thanks for the Nippers picture. Isn't that little hosta amazing? It is a smallish one, maybe will grow up to be a small/medium. The leaves on mine are crinkled like yours are. It has very little if any shine or gloss to the leaves. It has made a very dense mound of matte green dark leaves. I REALLY like it.

I like your Summer Breeze too. It sported from Summer Music, which I have.....and that one is the prettiest thing in my garden and takes a lot of afternoon sun here in zone 9a. If you don't have it, I dare you to look at one....it is irresistable. :)

Thanks for the pics. First time I've seen an AF that I liked, yours is amazing. Also been thinking about Nippers, nice to see a pic of it.

All your hostas are superb looking. I agree with Jadie... one of the nicest AF I've seen... as well as your White Christmas. Will be looking for the others when you post. And thanks for taking the time to share ... I may have to make room for a Dark Star. Hope it's not a really big one. It reminds me a bit of El Nino, which I really like.

ChrisE, why not enter your picture of Allegan Fog in the Hosta Library photo contest?

Couldn't hurt, right?

Thanks for the nice words, everyone!

Allegan Fog is in its 5th or 6th year, I am not exactly sure. It it was scraggly for the first few years. I am really proud of that one. Yeah Moc, what do I have to lose. I will send it in although they do have a number of pictures of it. I did send in three last night and they only accepted one.

Nippers looks better than that, I took that pic after it rained and it had mud on it. Gotta get some mulch in there!

I swear, Summer Breeze glows in the moonlight.

Dark Star is wonderful. I love the cascading, ripply leaves. Hostapedia says size is 21"x52", but this one is about that and looks like it might get a little larger.
