Hmmmmmm.... DG is Dave's Garden. Hopefully this will slip the censors. I guess GW can't take the competion and censors out links to the site now. pippi: I belong to the site, I know who you're talking about. You might ask her about the sun exposure her containers get. There are sun tolerant coleus and maybe that's what she uses. They (DG) are going to have a "classified sale" with Rosy Dawn soon, probably this month. They have wonderful coleus plants and the sale will discount them $1 each for members. Karen

OK I guess this is sort of a confession.... We were packing the trailer tonight for our holidays and well...I couldn't resist...that basket...the one I posted the pic of the orange coleus...well I packed it in the bathtub of the trailer... Hubby has no idea yet that I did it....he's gonna freak when he sees it n the tub...LOL Oh well, I was worried because I have a neighbor watering things for me and I just didn't want it to die, I love it so much. The funny thing is, I have a 6' shepherds hook hanger in the trailer to hang the coleman lantern off...UM...right....coleman lantern. Anyway....I'll check in in a couple of weeks...hope to do some shopping in Winnipeg and Brandon....Plant shopping of course!

Karen, Thank you for helping me look! I'm looking it up right now, and... argh! It is so close! 'Elizabeth Francis Woodall' has black tips on the stamens while mine seem a brownish/orange and a EFW has a very light yellow edging to the ruffles. The rest of the coloring is dead on. Going to check out 'Broadway Pink Slippers' and... that is much pinker than mine. Thank you for the name of that daylily nursery. I'll keep looking through their dl's. What a great assortment! Alana, I love baby shops. When Gymboree opened here I was having a blast picking up little outfits for my daughter and niece. Love that girly stuff. I hope things go quickly for you in Dayhoit. Never heard of it either. Thanks be for Google, eh? It has helped me get in and out of places that were too small for most gas station maps. Hurry home and keep an eye on these thieves. Hey Vic! We have rentals here in Cleveland and Lakewood. One is our old house that we used to live in. The guys are usually late with the check and it takes a phone call or two. Once they switched to new cell phones and I did have to drive over there. Nothing like me showing up with a van full of kids to make them want to get that check there a little quicker. Want me to drive to Michigan. Shouldn't be more than a couple hours. I'll threaten them with having to babysit. That might do it. I'm sorry about what happened with Jamie's job. Ed's customers are pretty slow paying right now. I told him he better start getting some money up front. It drives me crazy when he floats the cost of materials and they take forever to pay him at the end of the job. He is finally starting to listen to me about it. Deb, I think no one wants the game to end. They all know it's over when your box gets grabbed. LOL! Does the garage sale start tomorrow? I hope you have a great turn out and the weather stays beautiful for it. Sweet Dreams! Nighty night Sassy, sweet dreams to you too.
