update: i'm bored and on my way to iowa

17 years ago

Hee hee. Thought I would take the liberty of updating the title of this thread. Julie brought me some cool stuff today. A gardening apron which I really needed since I always seem to be dirty :( An adorable garden journal and some revitalizing foot scrub. I also grabbed a few seeds and put a ton of stuff back in. This was so fun. What happened to everyone's pics??

I will get the box back out tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

By Iowa, are you meaning me? :-)
How many Iowa gals do we have in this robin?
I need to post a pic, but have no clue how to, grrrrrr.
Maybe DH will be able to do it for me.

Looking for Julie!
Tina

PS, Did you happen to put a little sunshine in that box by any chance?

LOL Diane! I should just write ditto! Mine should have gone out at the end of last week. I couldn't believe how long it took me to wrap and photograph everything before shipping. So now there are two people who will be receiving a two box shipment from California! Make sure you unpack both boxes before you open anything!

Lol, well I'm sorry, Joe, but I can't feel too sorry for you! I'm sitting here waiting for my first bloom! I usually get something open by Memorial Day and there is NOTHING open out there. At least you've seen some blooms already. The weather has been wonky here too. Nothing severe like in other parts but not normal either. One day it's 80 and the next 5 it's 50. the roses aren't growing much at all. Our averages should be low 70s in the daytime and mid 60s at night. We've had frost warnings twice in the last week. NOT FAIR! Our frost date is May 15th for Pete's sake. I put my tomatoes and peppers in just last week ( I did wait until after the frost date) and then promptly had to cover them all or lose them. Arrrrgh! I'd move it. It's having to compete too much with the Jasmine and that's probably slowing down it's progress. Bonica is a repeater so it should have bloomed by now. Usually only once bloomers take more than a couple of years to have their first bloom. If you'd like to have them grow together, which would be pretty, you need to grow the seedling up bigger first and then replant it with the Jasmine.

All walls look boring when there's nothing on them. Artwork is the natural solution, and choosing it is the opposite of boring. Depending upon your taste and budget, choices include original art or a print. If a print, you can choose a framed piece, gallery wrapped canvas, or metal -- I've shown an example of each from SteveHendersonCollections.com (also https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/) -- the framed piece is Sunrise on the Columbia; the canvas print is Awakening; the metal print is Autumnal colors. You can go for a poster, but in order for your home to not give a sense of being a dorm room, you'll want to frame it -- and when you frame it, you don't want to go ultra cheap: it shows. Sometimes it's just as easy, and around the same price, to purchase the work online with the frame. The key to choosing the right art for your home includes taking your time and finding what is meaningful to you. Whether or not it matches the rug is not the issue -- what truly matters is finding that piece that speaks to you, brings a sense of happiness or well being, challenges your mind and thoughts, and literally brings a smile to your face when you see it. Art isn't an accessory. It is an invitation to step into another world.

Need help! I'm unable to visualize any way to update/remodel exterior

I wouldn't replace the bay window for what will be a fairly small difference in appearance, unless it is otherwise defective. It won't be that noticeable if the trim is painted a less obtrusive color, and when there is landscaping in place so that there is something else to look at. It only stands out now because of the trim and lack of landscaping. It's expensive to replace a large window and that money would be put to better use on other changes.

When Julie gets to your house, Tina...don't let her out until she promises SUNSHINE and lollipops! *giggles*

I am having a great time reading of her travels, but I think she took the sunshine when she last left Iowa. (what a brat!!!)

Thought I'd share this with ya'll...............

Roses & Hanging Baskets
A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with this see-through blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitched a fit, telling her not to dare go out like that!
The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rose buds show!"
And out she goes.
The next day the teenager comes down stairs , and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate...
The grandmother says, "Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rose buds, then I can display my hanging baskets."
Happy Gardening.

Well Julie, you have arrived at my home. Sorry for the mess, LoL, with all of the remodeling and all.

I have decided to take out a few packets of seeds, Miracle Grow plant spikes, a dinnerplate dahlia! and a packet of stickers.
I am putting some goodies back in and many packets of seeds to replace the gifts I removed.
Thank you so much for visitng me! It's nice to have you ;-)
I'm sure if the box will go back out tomorrow or Saturday, but will post conf. when it does.
Julie will be bored again very shortly and headed to Phoenix, AZ, and then she will head home.
Boy Julie, I bet you are surely tired. You have been all over the states, whew!

Thank you so much for including me in your great robin!
Well done and organized.

Hugs, Tina

I'll open her up and re-stuff and post on Tuesday when she's on her way home.

Welcome to Arizona!

Wow..it's hard to believe we're in the home stretch of this RR. I hope everyone is happy with the items they chose!
Since Sassy & Julie were the only ones to SHOW me where they lived...I'm not choosing a winner....each will recieve a little extra something in the mail.
Geesh Sue...I was to hot..I HAD to do something about that heat. LOL
As far as Faint and the white jacket? It's to late for that, we need more of a padded cell! LOLOL

Ok Julie start flapping your wings on home! I took one of the little windchimes and two pkts of seeds. I put in six pkts of seeds and a couple of "angelic" gifts. Also, since I don't have a digital camera I put in some postcards of the best places in our state.

Loved the Robin! Thanks Julie!

I haven't heard anything from Julie in a long time. She's starting to worry me. I sure hope it's simply computer troubles.
