One wonders how you ran across the link. If you really don't want to hear what I think about muslims, you shouldn't have baited the subject so, cuz I could go on for hours ;) hmmmm... What I think of islam is..... ps you asked for it :D Congrats on the philo bloom, btw :) Too bad Foxy wasn't here any more, she'd be drooling.

I made all nine in two days. Maybe I do something different. I stack and glue the pieces all at once. I don't have the patience to wait for each piece to set...the tall thin one is my favorite. I found Candle sticks and the mini vases on top at one yard sale Saturday Morning and had it put together as soon as I got home. If you want to see them close up click on the picture and I have singles of each close up in the album on Picasa. I must confess the red birdbath is simple clear glass that I have painted with glass paint. I wanted to try my hand at revers painting on glass. I am please with the results. I may have to make another painted one I have lots of clear glass but color sure makes a statement. When I started I was only gonna make one or two, Because I had no interuptions I just kept going! I wanted One of each color of the rainbow! LOL They will all be displayed in one Bed, held in with sand then Mulch. I also found Brand New White vinyl edgeing to use but I want to paint it first or at least wash it with some color. I am worried about Hurricane season. LOL Here are some pics of the bird bath. From Glass Totems From Glass Totems Not happy with inside pics..I will be sure to post pics when I bet them all out side. Thanks ya'll!

Glo - Thanks for reassuring me! I hope your move is awesome! My husband has wanted to move us to Colorado for years and hasn't managed to quite convince me yet, although I think it's absolutely wonderful there. LOL So, Winter Solstice is the same everywhere? (LOL)... I guess you're seeing how little I know... Nancy - Thanks for the tip! I am gonna have to watch the lead hand myself as I way oversowed my cantaloupes this fall. The poor babies are fighting each other and giving me 2 to 5 inches fruits that don't look like they're EVER going to full ripen. I will be much more careful in the future. I'll try to not get TOO excited when I go to plant. LOL Carrie - Wow! That's some really good info. That's exactly the kind of thing I was worried about. I'm grateful for the heads up. Liz - LIZ!!! Hey, girl! Fancy meeting you here and there and now here! hee hee... The whole last paragraph of what you wrote is exactly what is concerning me. I know that I personally wear shorts through-out almost the whole winter except for those few crazy days that we see. 50's or what have you is not cold to me... We do get the occasional freeze, but then a week or two later at most you could have a 70+ degree high! All this in the same few days / weeks / months... it's SO crazy! Oh, and if they're having a plantswap around the 8th of December as well, I sure want to know as I'll be out that way. :-) Blessings, Angela

Oh boy, I am so glad you came back and posted. I was thinking about you a couple days ago and wondered what YOUR impressions were. I had to chuckle a little bit, because you seem to be pretty good at sizing things up. I have my own business, and have literally watched customers fighting over purple geraniums. I had several that day go into a growing house with a large reds sign reading "employees only" and pick them up after I told them I had non left for sale. I intercepted said customer with his arms full of them and removed them personally. rofl. He was a good sport about it, thankfully. Have you been on the phones lately with the consumers who went to the box store first? Then couldn't identify the flowers because they weren't labeled and wanted to pick your brain? I get a few of those calls a day each spring. I guess you are into your busy season by now. Ours hasn't started yet, we are doing the easter trade and still transplanting.
