I have been looking for the HT from J&P named Heaven for several years since mine died. If yours is healthy and youre willing to share a cutting or two Id be happy to pay the costs involved.

Thanks, Jean and Carol. Yes, I think iris and daylilies fit in well in rose beds. Even when not blooming, the foliage hides the roses' skinny legs! Some are concerned they will get too much nitrogen, but that hasn't been a big problem for me. And, Carol, since you are in the area, I got Different Flavors at a Dallas Iris Society sale. For your information, the next sales are on August 9 and September 6 at North Haven Gardens in Dallas. Also, this Sunday is their Iris Show. It is at the Pavillion Bldg. on the Texas A&M campus in Dallas. The address is 17360 Coit Road at McCallum and it is open to the public from 1:00 to 4:00.

Last year from Christmas I decopodged this poem and made a bank for my daughter out of a mason jar. Painted the jar, decopodged the poem, used kitty rub on's and tied a ribbon with tiny bells around the rim of the jar. I also cut a slit for the money to be dropped in. It turned out sooo cute!! :) Hope this is the one you were needing! Gail Pennies from Heaven I found a penny today, just laying on the ground, but it's not a just a penny, This little coin I've found. Found pennies come from heaven, That's what my Mama told me, She said angels toss them down, Oh, how I loved that story. She said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down, Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown. So don't pass by that penny, When you're feeling blue, It may be a penny from heaven, That an angel's tossed to you

I'm so sorry you lost your dear husband. If his dad says he's "still around", I'd probably accept the pennies as a memento of his love. The pennies you've found before... who knows? Maybe they're just pennies, or maybe you've been visited by someone else dear to you & you just didn't pick up on it. I never have had the experience, but others here will doubtless chime in; this forum sometimes is slow, so don't lost heart.
