margaret, You are right about this great country we live in. We are all blessed to have these freedoms and the men and women who keep us safe. I hope you know that you are in my prayers. Wishing you many blessings.

Lisa, good things come to those who wait! LOL! I finally got a little time out in the yard since it finally didn't rain today! I've been scoping things out, trying to see what I haven't sent to people already and have come up with a few ideas! I will post my magic list tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it will make someone want to steal it. :O)

Hi Annie! I have stuff to send to you too. I sent an email a while back. I just need to know when you will be home so I can time it's arrival to you. I don't want it to sit while you are on the road. :O)

Ok, I'm hitting the sack. My company left about 1/2 hour ago and I'm bushed. I'll check back in the a.m.

Nighters!
Tracy

Good morning ladies. I don't know about you, but I am exhausted.

This is a photo of the new copper watering pot that will be in my box. Have a peaceful day!

Tracy

Hey girls!

What great boxes! I think I will have to draw names to pick one!

I'm still working on mine, and since I don't have many plants, there will be "stuff" in it too! : )

Deb and Alana, good to see you both around!
Alana, I love that watering can!

Annie, that is a great idea about the most stolen box, I will try to help you keep track.

Margaret, how are you doing? I hope things settle down soon, is everything ok?

Going to go back outside : )

Vic

Hello! Just peeking in quick! Busy out in the garden. I picked all of my cauliflower, we picked green beans, and I picked some broccoli. We also dug some potatoes. We're grilling out for supper and having fresh cooked veggies to go with! (not cauliflower!)

Deb & Tracy & Carmen, LOVE your boxes! The books sound wonderful, and I love your lungwort Tracy. (all of your plants are beauties!) This is going to be so much fun! I still have a lot of googling to do, with Alana's, Carmen's, and now some of Tracys things. Deb's caladiums are really pretty, too. Alana, LOVE the watering can.

Our 4th of July was interesting to say the least, but I will post on that later maybe. It was a good time. Everyone survived! lol

I'll check back later tonight. For now, I have lots to do. Been busy outside and now the inside looks like a tornado went through!

I just got home from our mini vacation. Pigeon Forge, TN was soooooooo crowded if took hours to get out of there. Well better get the camper unpacked...Be back later.

Shirley

Shirley,
I'm sorry, I will get my box posted tomorrow. I wanted to do it today, but didn't get a chance with Jamie home for the weekend. I will try and post it at lunch if I can. I have to go get my goody box out : )
Vic

OK things DIDN'T go as planned for me this weekend BUT I SOOOOOO want to play so NOW my question is: How long do we have till we have to mail out the box? As I haven't seen a send by date :). I probably missed it somewhere, even though I DID read all the post as they were posted, but you know me. I forget a lot don't I Tracy girl? And thanks for the heads up email.

Hello everyone, I hope everyone had a terrific weekend.

:) Fran

Hi girls! I hope you all had a wonderful 4th weekend. I never got a chance to speak again before we left, so I'm going to just say a big "HI" to everyone! We did some great fishing and to end an absolutely wonderful 21st anniversary, Saturday night........ we sat out in the pontoon boat in the middle of the sound and watched ALL the fireworks, and they were just awesome. It was amazing!
I hope all of you had a great weekend too.

I'll try to be back soon, but Shirley please continue your game, I may not get back in time, but thats ok, I'll keep popping in when I can:)

Good morning all,

It was a quite day in here yesterday, did everyone enjoy themselves a bit too much on the 4th? I had company yesterday so I didn't get much done outside but I had a nice day, the weather was beautiful!

Vic, I'm going to mail your box out today. I'll use ups so you don't have to go to the post office.... I do need an addy though, Vic in Montana isn't enough.lol

Annie, no pics yesterday? I love looking at your daylilies! I made a little graph to track how many times a box is picked, it should be a breeze.

Shirley, I camp too, It's all fun and games until it's time to empty out the motorhome and catch up on the laundry, glad to hear you had a good time.

Sassy, your not going to play?

Tracy, Karen and Fran...just a hello for you all!

Pat, I sent you an email last week. I would like to square off with you, drop me a line when you get a minute.

Ptilda, hello and welcome, Shirley is the hostess of this months swap, I'm sure she'll post an answer for you soon.

Have a great day!
Lisa

Good Morning, everyone. It was a nice holiday weekend here. It rained from 3 p.m. on the 4th until about noon yesterday but it was still pleasant. I hope everyone else had a good weekend too.

Hi, Ptilda! Welcome to the board. I looked at your trade page. You have a LOT of nice hosta pictures. I see you have trades pending with Jen Frazier. I've traded with Jen in the past. She's great!

Lisa - Sorry for the delay in answering your e-mail. I did reply a few minutes ago. The box you mailed hasn't reached me yet. I will let you know when it does.

Well, chores are calling my name. I'll check in later.

Pat

Greetings ptilda and everyone else. I think I will have to draw a number out of a hat to choose a box to pick (or swipe)!

Have a good Monday!

Wild Horses

I just know I'm going to kick myself for not participating!

Alana, Wild Horses will have to go on my want list! You always take beautiful pictures.

LIsa and Vic thank you for the help keeping track of who chose what.

Waving to everyone
LIFE IS GOOD,
Annie

Good morning everyone! I ended up getting some type of stomach bug yesterday and was pretty miserable for the day. I'm feeling a little better today but still have a nasty headache. Made some pancakes for the kiddos for breakfast this morning so they're pretty happy. :O)

Fran, since we're stealing boxes from each other through part of the month we don't have a send by date yet. I'm sure Shirley will let us know when we have to stop playing grabby hands! LOL!

Sassy, Happy 21st anniversary! If I remember right you also had a birthday too, right? Happy Birthday! I hope you get back to play with us! Glad you got the email. :O)

Ptilda, welcome to Petal Pushers! You have some lovely plants to send in your box. Thanks for joining us, it's great to have you.

Alana, Wild horses is going on my wish list too. It is beautiful. So similar to Moonlit Masquerade but a bit more striking!

Annie, I love the pictures that posted. You make it so hard to pick a favorite. But since I'm partial to lavenders and reds I'm going with Bella Lugosi, Cosmic Hummingbird and El Desperado. Just beautiful!

Lisa, did you go camping this weekend too? Hi to you too. I can send you Vic's address if you like. LMK. Although, you might actually get it to her if you just put Vic in Montana, might be a funny experiment. LOL!

Shirley, You'll have to tell us all about Pigeon Forge. I've never heard of it. I hope you had a great time.

Tracy

checking in real quick....

Tracy, I hope you feel better later today.

Annie, I have wild horses, if I can find it I'll send you a division.

Lisa

You wrote:

"You'll have to tell us all about Pigeon Forge. I've never heard of it."

LOL! You can sure tell you're not from the southeast part of the country! I've been thinking of us as "almost neighbors" but I guess I live a lot farther south than you, 'cause EVERYONE in our area goes to Pigeon Forge area a few times a year. (Until they're ready to retire. Then they move to FL!)

Ok, Ok, quit laughing at the "Yankee" and tell me what in the heck it is! Phhhllbbt! (blowing a raspberry at Pat!)

Lisa, thank you, I hope I feel better too. You're much nicer to me than Pat is. (cheeky grin)

Tracy, Honey, of course I hope you feel better soon! In fact, I hope you'll never feel unwell again! There, how's that? (Big smile!)

(Grinning wildly)Pat, I feel so much better now. Your kind words must have done the trick. Rofl'ing! Well, maybe it was the Advil I took.

Feel better Tracy. I hope illness did not spoil your holiday.
Never heard of Pigeon Forge? How about Dollywood? We usually go for Octoberfest when the car shows are going on, but lately we've had several family weddings there.

Annie, I love your daylilies. For some reason I don't have many of the lavender ones. I need to fix that! You have some lovely ones!

Alana

Ahh Tracy girl, it isn't nice the whole group is picking on you now is it?
Pigeon Forge AND Dollywood are in TENN. neither of which I have been too, never had the desire to go to either.
We have Ghostown here in out mountain area of NC, along with Maggie Valley, Cherokee, Blue Ridge Parkway ALL of which I try NOT to go to because when I was younger my mama dragged us to Chimney Rock almost EVERY freaking weekend.
Which explains no matter HOW cool Pigeon Forge and Dollywood are I have no want to go there. Although I have heard Dollywood is FUN! My mama has been to both places in Tenn and prolly ALL the places here in NC.
I am not a mountain seeker, I am a beach lover. I wish I could go there too. Have been once on vacation some odd 20 years ago and once about 2 years ago coming through Fl, the SO stopped for about 30 mins to let me get wet and then we had to go! LOL.

Annie, LOVE the daylilies: BELA LUGOSI has been on my list since I seen it on auction on ebay! Alana, Wild Horses is a looker too! NICE.

Well, If we have all month to send the box out maybe I could make enough funds between now and then to cover the cost of shipping. The SO told me NO TRADING this month unless I could cover the postage myself so I have to come up with postage for a few boxes, the Crazy Swap is one because I joined that BEFORE he said NO lol.

OK well, I will be a looking for Vic's Box to be posted. I have a list already made out for my box, I am just debating on whether or not I should try it hehe.

:) Fran

Thanks Alana, nope, never heard of Pigeon Forge but I have heard of Dollywood. I've never been there, of course, but have a vivid imagination of what some of the rides might be like. LOL! Dolly Parton was on Letterman not too long ago talking about it. I always liked that lady. She certainly has a great business mind.

Actually Tracy, Dollywood is in Pigeon Forge. It is only one of the attractions in the area but I thought you might recognize the name and get a frame of reference.
I will peek in tomorrow to scope out the last of the boxes!

Ahhhhhh. It is making sense now Alana! Thanks to you and Fran I get it! I haven't done any travelling in that part of the country. It is something I would like to do at some point in the future. We have Cedar Point up here for the kids and the amusement park fix. I'm not a huge fan of that personally. I'm more of a beach bum like Fran. Give me a book, some sand and water and I'm in heaven! LOL!

We also have Hocking Hills and Mohican for camping, fishing, hiking, horse back riding, skiing and stuff. I like doing all that stuff too. Just not as much as when I was younger.

Fran! Post that box! Post that box! Post that Box!

OK! Here goes, this will be quick, I'm at work...

Daylilies
Ice Carnival
Rocket City
One more but I'm not sure what yet, (it's a good excuse
to go get another! : )

Blue oat grass
Strawberry Ribbon Grass

No ID Rose - This is a tall, 5ft rose. I just got some from a friends yard, they are bright pink. I was going to take a pic of the one that was in bloom but I planted it too close to the dog kennel....(live and learn)

IF the "winner" of my box would like I have a White flowering Yucca, but, don't feel obligated to take this one! I know some ppl like them, I don't, but they grow wild here : )

An assortment of seeds that I will try to match up to your wants list.

a pair of gloves, leather/suede size med
patio candle - I think it's Hyacinth scented, can't remember
and your choice of one of 3 bird feeders, I'll post pics tonight. One is a hummer feeder, and the other 2 are for seed.

I think that's it!

Ptilda, Welcome to Petal Pushers! You will like it here : ) Where are you at, zn 3 sounds cold!
You do have some pretty hosta's!

Gotta run..
Vic

Hello!

Sassy, your 4th of the July sounds awesome! I would love to sit out on a pontoon and enjoy the fireworks! I hope you are able to play with us!

ptilda, welcome and your list is very nice!!

Alana, the 'Wild Horses' is a beauty!

Annie, some of my fav.s are 'Matt', 'Chantilly Pink', and 'Firestorm'. You have sooo many pretty daylilies.

Tracy, you aren't the only one whose never heard of Pigeon Forge! I've heard of Dollywood, of course, but never Pigeon Forge. It sounds like a beautiful place to visit though! My middle son has been saving to go to Cedar Point since last fall. Unfortunately we will not be able to make the trip this year, so he's hopeful for next! My hubby says we would drive. Ugghhh! 12 hrs on the road does not sound appealing to me! I like the amusement parks for my family, but I'm afraid of heights, so I don't ride anything! I'd also rather relax on the beach! Or Sassy's pontoon! Hope you are feeling better!

Vic & Fran, Post those boxes!!! :)

Pat & Lisa, I'm glad your 4th of Julys went good! (too bad about the rain, Pat!) Lisa, if I don't get your box, I would love to have some false solomens seal. If there is anything you'd like from my lists, just let me know!

If I've missed anyone, Hello!, and hope you are all having a great day!

:O) Karen

Oops! Vic, you posted while I was typing! Another fabulous box! :)

Also, I forgot to you, Shirley, that I hope your vacation in Pigeon Forge went well! Unpack that camper and relax!

Karen

OK, I will post and I want to state NOW. I may not get to actually send until the first week of August, it depends on if some jobs come through and/or if I make some money for side selling IF this is a problem I will withdraw my box BUT there is a chance things will work out and I can send on time!
I just want to put it out there that I may not get to send on time up front! So everyone knows that I could be late Shirley if this is a problem, email me and I will come withdraw from this month ok?

HERE is the contents of my box:

Lisa

Some pictures from the garden today...

Gold Edger in the sunny spot. I have one in the shade that is much greener than this one.

Fran, great box! I have no datura here at all! You can just go ahead and ship them to me. I won't mind waiting a bit! LOL! I don't think anyone will mind if you have to wait until the beginning of August if you need to. We all totally get it. Gotta keep the man-person happy. :O)

Sassy-When was your anniversary? Mine was the 4th and I have been married for 40 years. Hope you make it back in time to play. I will keep it open until 9:00 and then I will post the names in the order they can pick a box.

ptilda-Not sure who is the spokesman for this group so I will say you can play but please send your box first to whomever receives it. We would love for you to join the group and be in future swaps.

Tracy-I can't believe you have never heard of Pigeon Forge, Tn. LOL I buy season passes to Dollywood and also Splash Country (A Water Park) because we go so many times in the year. I love the shows, the shops and the eating places. I have seen Dolly Parton also because we go so much. She is a beautiful lady.

Tracy thank you for the birthday wish! It was today and I had it off so was a pretty great day.
