NEW: new february fotess swap!
Comments (146)I'm just stopping by to check out and say CONGRATS to the winners and wanted to say 'hi' as well. DH and I went down to NOLA last Thursday to celebrate Mardi Gras with family. Now we are trying to re-adjust getting back to reality... hahaha. Saw lots of parades; donned wild and crazy wigs, hairpieces, and facepaint; caught plenty of beads; and laughed whole-heartedly many, many times. I always say that my Mardi Gras is complete so long as I catch some doubloons, a beer koozie, and a strand of the elusive glass beads. There's just something about the good-natured silliness of Mardi Gras that really makes me laugh.

Comments (113)Well, Ladies, I owe Nicole, and every one else, sincere and heartfelt apologies for not getting my package out on time. Nicole, I spent the last two days on the couch with breathing treatments of all kinds, just made it down to the Post Office today. I am so sorry! The PO Lady said it should be there by Monday. I surely hope so! And, is this swap completed? If it isn't, it's probably my fault for being late! Would like to start the June swap, but I won't if this isn't done. Let us know, Okay! Thanks! Heading outside to assess damage control! Shirley!...See MoreMay FOTESS Participation (Games and Photos for Group Members)
Comments (130)I'm so sorry, but it doesn't look like I will get to more plant part questions. Perhaps I can try it again one month when I am hostess again. Congratulations to Nicole who won our Gardener's Derby Game and to Emily who is clearly first in the Plant Parts Game. I'll get little prizes send out early in June. Thanks to everyone for posting comments, pictures, and participating! We continue to have storms off and on and the humidity these past few days has been horrid. I heard someone say it is so oppressive because of two air masses that came together - all I know is you can hardly stand to be outside. Meanwhile, I'm arranging more times to get roofers and other people out here to evaluate damage and schedule repairs. The roofers can return on Monday which is great. The back part of the roof hasn't been repaired yet and I started getting interior leaks which correspond with where they still need to do repairs. This tree episode has been a nightmare, but the services I dealt had some very nice people to deal with so that has been much appreciated. (However, I'm glad I called LOTS of them because here it is over 2 months later and I haven't even gotten a return call from some of the tree services. I know they are busy, but they need to leave a message or something about how backed up they are.) Here's a picture of my gladiolus that's in bloom today. My plants seem to have loved all the rain. Of course, we have very sandy soil so they don't stay waterlogged in it....See MoreMAY FOTESS SWAP~~~IT WON'T COST YOU A PENNY"
Comments (94)OHHHH!! Wow Yes! Package arrived today and I found a very cute green pillow that says "Plant Lady" I call myself that Crazy Plant Lady so the pillow is both appropriate and kind. Other prize is great pair of garden shears. Definately useful and appreciated. Many thanks. So, if a duplicate package arrives I don't need to just return it Kohls? Unopened packages still ship return for free, so far as I know...See More

A FOTESS Limerick
A fanciful group of lasses (& Darrin)
Who's gardens so greatly surpasses
Their kindness abounds
When swaps make the rounds
And seeds are shared with the masses

Well, I've been w/o internet for a week. Signing in with my iPhone. Hope the new router arrives tomorrow....
Mailed off to Shirley and Jeanne both on Saturday. I suspect they will arrive soon. Sorry for being late, ladies!
Word is our house will be done by July 4th. Words cannot describe how happy I will be when that day arrives. Hahaha!! Here's a recent photo:
