Marie, I true am sorry for hell week for you. This is what all this sounds like. Just BREATHE. You will get through it all will be better you will be happier this are gonna change for you! IN A GREAT GOOD POSITIVE WAY! Want me to keep repeating THAT to you? Your daughters room will be pretty and unigue and she will love it! Her and her friends will have a blast painting it! My son wanted to do green/blank/white stripes with black trim and a black carpet in his room I was going to him but we moved out of that house before we got it situated because the landlady was insane! We lived there a month! It will all be ok we will all get through all we have going on! One day at a time. HERE IS MY NEW UPDATE: (just copied from another post it was easier) The good news for us is we just found a place to rent that we pretty much had been looking for for YEARS! The bad part is, I have to MOVE. The electric com. there is HIGHER then ANY OTHER ONE and the house is TINY, TINY, TINY!!! Gosh where am going to PUT EVERYTHING? The GOOD news is: There are over 50 acres available to use for horses/cows, we can have a pig, chickens, or any other animal it is already set up for a chicken house. There is a creek on it the yard is LARGE there is a HUGE garden spot and 2 more places the gentleman said we can put a garden if we want THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS TO THE LAND AT ALL! He said I can put in ALL the FLOWERS I wanted all he asked is we take care of the house with is NOT a problem and the place is CHEAPER then HERE and it is back in the area we used to live! Gee whiz I think I just convinced myself it is worth moving too after all. I have been dreading it but looking at the pluses there are more of those then there are minuses! BUT the major on is I HAVE TO MOVE, I HATE moving! And the house being smaller is a downer to me too but hey I get to plant whatever my heart desires how great is that? I am happy about being able to plant whatever BUT the yard PRETTY much ALL of it is overgrown and has bramble bushes all over that will have to be cut out those stupid tree bush things can't think of what they are BUT we will be cutting wood and srubs out all summer and MAYBE YEARS to come IF we stay there any lenght of time. It will be a lot of work but no close neighbors and all the other pluses are well worth the move even though there will be a lot of losses too. I have a LOT of stuff that I am not willing to part with and will have to get a building I guess to store it all in. For the most part I am happy but NOT looking forward to moving in gerenal and all my plants are not up yet and I will be losing some of those I fear! It irks me to because I just started trading for them last season! No, I am not sure were all of them are even though I DID put plant markers up the stupid stray neighborhood cats scratched/laid/fought in the beds and misplaced the labels! OH well, Marie I am truly sorry life hit you so hard these last few months if there was something I could do to help fix it I would! diene, when I said I would go ahead and post the March month I meant after everyone had posted they had received. I KNEW it was going to be a few more days for those :) not rushing anything BELIEVE ME! Cause that means I will be one more year older! Later everyone, please check in. Boy howdy, I didn't mean to write a book! :) Fran

I received a VERY WONDERFUL package from Bonnie today. She sent a beautiful flower candle in a pretty green dish, It looks like a flower inside the leaves of a plant. Then a pretty sunflower pot with white Acidanthera and red and purple gladiolus bulbs inside. Also a cute garden rock that says welcome. There was also a little birthday bag with seeds for Asters and red Astilbe and several bags of tea. Also a darling little pin that says Sprout. Then, a little note on the back of an oriental envelope wishing me a happy birthday, inside the envelope two beautiful book marks. The note said to keep on and give one away. I have a friend whose mother came from Japan and I know she would love one of these, so with your permission Bonnie, I am going to share with her. I love your package. Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful gifts. Just a thought on rearranging the birthday schedule. Moving people up sounds fine (after all, I did it) but we do have a December month person and it might be good to check with her before we change Dec since she would have to be a lot earlier. Diene, what do you think? I will go along with whatever everyone decides, whatever we decide. Diene, I was just teasing about the bag of dirt. I did open it after I posted. Thank you so much for the plant. Can hardly wait to see it in bloom!

Hi everyone, Sorry I've ebeen AWOL for awhile. Spring is always such a busy time. I've been trying to get the yard & gardens cleaned up. DH is expecting to start a new job in a couple of weeks, its suppose to pay about twice as much. He'll be driving OTR again with only one day home per week so we're trying to get stuff here taken care of beforehand (building GH, fixing stuff, etc).He gave his current job his 2 wk notice just 2 days ago and they called today letting him go (on his day off)! Now we're really hoping the new job is as good as it sounds!! I got the last of my WS potted yesterday. Out of 160+ jugs there were only about 15-20 that didn't sprout...not bad I guess for my first WS attempt. I'm waiting for my BIL to till my new gardens so I can plant stuff...alot of my potted seedlings have bloomed! Bluebonnets, Lacy Phacelia, and Nasturtiums of every color! I hope they're still blooming by the time I get them in the gardens! Kym, thanks for sending the May list in advance! At least I won't get behind on that! LOL I'm fine with recieving emails from forum members...sounds like you have an interesting game up your sleeve. Count me in! I hope all April Bday buddies are having a wonderful BDay month!!!!! Chell
