Hurray! I got my package from Diene today! Diene, you did a fantastic job of selecting plants I don't have. Lavender made the whole box smell delicious. 2 different sedums that I do not have will go in my sedum bed. Yarrow-perfect for cutting. Astilbe for the shade garden. Golden Bleeding Heart- I love it! I also received a lovely natural sand dollar and snail shell, a wind chime and a terrapin as well as seeds for crocosmia, bachelors buttons and stocks. The terrapin is going in the vegetable garden where the living prototype is eating my tomatoes. Maybe they will think the area is too crowded and move on? Vela, I am glad you liked your box. You have been a great hostess! I won't be participating in the next round. I am busy with the wedding, and there is not much in the garden right now that I would feel comfortable digging up; too hot and too mature. With the water restrictions we have been placed under, it is really hard to keep everything going. I will be peeking in now and then to see what everyone receives and how things are going. Late July, early August is a great time to divide iris and daylilies. Hopefully one of you will host a swap then. I have lots of those I need to divide and obligating yourself to a swap is a great motivator.

Let's play a game! Words from a word

why was there a limit of 5 words put on this anyway So the game would go faster and people wouldn't end up skipping posts because it was taking them so long thinking of words. Plus... I just like to see who can follow the rules. LOTS of rebels here at the KT! lol

More Words I Have Looked Up - Part 2
Q
Comments (56)
* The mantle of Mrs. Grundy - a figurative name for an extremely conventional person who worries about being different * The Grand Guignol - a Parisian theater that opened in 1897 * The "qui vive" of expectation - Que vive? Is a question: Who goes there? To be on the alert, suspicious. * Carlyle on the Dutch (who was who and who did what?) - Carlyle was Scottish writer/philosopher in nineteenth century who wrote social/political criticism. Not sure about the Dutch reference. Any ideas? * Cassandra could have looked more gloomily prophetic - Cassandra was the royal daughter at the time of the Trojan War. She rejected ApolloÃ¢ÂÂs advances and in retaliation, he made it so no one would believe what she said. (Perhaps Ã¢ÂÂgloomily prophecticÃ¢ÂÂ due to this?) * A veritable colossus of negation - Ã¢ÂÂcolossusÃ¢ÂÂ was a huge ancient statue on the Greek island of Rhodes, so perhaps this refers to how immovable negativity is when people espouse it strongly * Fox (re: pity?) - not sure about this one. * Bib and tucker (clothing) - refers to oneÃ¢ÂÂs best clothes; first used in 18th century. Ã¢ÂÂBibsÃ¢ÂÂ were similar to current day baby bibs, except these were worn by adults over their clothes (mostly women). Made of lace and fitted over the bodice; sometimes called Ã¢ÂÂpinnersÃ¢ÂÂ or Ã¢ÂÂmodesty piecesÃ¢ÂÂ. Ã¢ÂÂTuckerÃ¢ÂÂ were bibs that were tucked in. (Pinners/Bibs were pinned and tuckers were tucked.) Linked with Ã¢ÂÂpinaforeÃ¢ÂÂ, Ã¢ÂÂpin-a-foreÃ¢ÂÂ: a pin/bib thatÃ¢ÂÂs pinned on the front of clothing. (Taken from Patricia Brent, Spinster - Herbert Jenkins.)
