My total packet bet is 7979.43 by the law of average, should be right on the button. Now while we wait can we talk about my poor pumpkin seeds that were so fresh when I sent them, I mean I was still turning them every hour in the sun coming thru my french doors,before bagging them. Anyway, today, to my horror, the Musque de Provence seeds were moldy green!!!!I did not figure tha tthe time from when I packed them and the time we will get our seeds back would be enough to mold them, as I din't want to treat them with chemicals or bleach but maybe I should have!!! Looked on line for answers , someone mentioned rinsing the seeds in hydrogen peroxide before drying them. I panicked and use what was close at hand , put some bleach in water and filled the little baggie with it and slooshed them around until they cleaned up a bit, then i rinsed them further with my fingers, and planted them in a peat pot to see about germination. I don't know what to tell you. It's really sad to loose these, they were beautiful pumpkins, of the brightest orange flesh. If they are really lost then I will have to make sure mine grows and distribute the seeds again thru another swap.I am so sorry about that, thought i was doing the seeds a favor by not using bleach or other chemicals...and look what happened.

thanks! susan, yup it's an oldie we grew up with...the blades are metal, can't tell you how many times my parents told us not to stick our fingers inside the cage while it was runnin' ...altho we did stick our faces pretty close and said ahhhh into it :oD

It was fun, funny, interesting...I had a blast! Not surprisingly, I think, everyone was great...not a stinker in the bunch. :>)!!! I mean, 12 strangers...you never know for sure. ;>O. Oh, and purses were properly placed and phones were out of sight. Ha! The oddest/ funniest moment came when I dragged Lars into the living room for his professional opinion of some drapes, aka “ball gowns”. Luv r golden actually climbed the latter , playing the part of Scarlet O'Hara ( in reverse) to help us envision them.! He shared a few of his designs, and, wow is he talented! Just such a lovely group. We missed Jill . Best wishes to you for your mother’s quick recovery. A few pics... not what you’d like to see most, I know.

When I see the title "The Rite of Spring" I expected soft, calming music. Not even close!! So violent and chaotic. I loved the music but those Teletubbies are freaky looking creatures!! Ha, ha!! Well done.
