I have heavenly blue for your Wave Petunia mix. LMK

That is a wonderful list, I am going to bookmark it. Thank you so much for sharing! Mary

Paula, Thank you for the offer but I don't collect gobs and gobs of seeds. I just collect a few seed heads of things I think others might like to grow and a few for myself for the next year if they are annuals. I shouldn't say this here on the garden web but I toss most seeds in the trash as I am cleaning up my gardens ( take a deep breathe, stop gasping...lol). I think this year I will collect more than usual because I feel like a cheap skate when I see some of the other seed packets in swaps...lol I have added the petunias to your gift package and again, thank you for the offer. I will pass this time though. Lisa

Happy Sunday everyone! I'm taking some time to do some catching up this morning. Mellen, a VERY, VERY, belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you. I'm sorry for missing your special day. Hope it was wonderful. Jo, how is your mom doing today? And what about you? I hope you are taking it easy. You have alot on your plate right now. Please don't forget to take care of yourself. I say a prayer for your mom every day and hope she is comfortable. Getting out into the garden will do you good, physically and mentally. : ) It always gives me the lift I need if i'm feeling down. On a side note, my JoAnn's hardly has any pots this year. I'm so sad! Last year they had several FULL aisles, this year there were about 4 or 5 pots stuck in a corner. Wonder why? I really thought the quality was very good. Maybe they didn't sell??? I did buy a stained-glass-birdhouse-tealight-holder. : ) You can see it here with my pansies..... Where's catbirdsue?? Did you get my email about the Miscanthus 'Gracillimus'/plant tags trade? Maryanne, so sorry about the geeks that live next door to you. I have dorks as neighbors too, which is high on the list of reasons why we are moving. I don't understand how some people can have so much time on their hands to worry about something as trivial as a few fallen leaves. I've been so busy and haven't taken as many pics as i'd have liked to, but I have a few to post. I will try to take some when I go over there today. : ) Canna, I was really worried about you. I hope you are feeling better. I had to laugh when everyone was posting about your E.R. visit sounding similar to their E.R.'s. Same thing here. Going to the emergency room turns into at least a whole day affair. The last two times I had to go it was so jam-packed that they stuck me in the rubber room. They actually have a room with padded walls that is very dark and I guess used for any kooks that happen to come in. : ) How are the kids doing? And Louise and her DH? Have they quit smoking? Deni, i'll send your Lysimachia along soon. Would a flat rate box stuffed full be enough? I can send more. Paul, your son looks so handsome in that pic. I really enjoy seeing your photo's. How's the DVD RR going? Cody, i'd love to visit you and your chicks. I was dividing grasses all week too. I have a way to do it that makes it suck hardcore much less. : ) Digging up the clump is still hard, but once it's out of the ground I use a sawzall and slice it into nice chunks. It works so good. Karen, your horse is so beautiful. Stunning! You must be proud. I'll have to show my mom his pic. My mom just emailed me and was going to spend the day bathing her horses. I'll bet you two would get along good. Do you show? MaryB, i'm so glad you liked your box of goodies. 'EOD' is gorgeous. Carol, lovely pics of all your blooms. I just finished eating all that Easter candy you sent. : ) I haven't had malted milk eggs in sooooo long. Yummy! I love your siggy with the teddy bear & ladybug. Cute! Cindy, great idea! I think you're onto something. A heavy equipment amusement park! LOL! I'd go. : ) I do have fun running Bob, and he's been helping me immensely up at the new place. I have to put in yet another temporary holding garden today. I've got two filled up already. I didn't even start to take the big stuff over yet. Shirley, how's the foot? I hope it's healing well. Love your Iris pics. : ) Sharon, love your pics! I really love P. 'David Ward'. I have to put that one on my "want" list. That pic of your son is so funny! He's a brave soul. Anita, so glad you got the baby for a few days. It was the LEAST she could do. Will you take a picture of your Iris bed when it's blooming this year? I'd love to see it again. It was so pretty. I've god sad news......my yellow Peony did not survive. Waaaahhhhh! I've been crawling around on the ground every day, looking for signs of life. All my others are way up, so I knew there was something wrong. I dug it up yesterday to inspect and it was hard as a rock. : ( Speaking of losing plants, I lost several DL's this winter. The one i'm most confused about is 'Storm of the Century'. I had two large clumps that were very healthy and pretty well established and neither came back. Boy am I bummed. I think I sent a fan or two of that one out in trades last year but can't remember who I sent it two? I'm wondering if yours came back? Marea, love your pics. Thanks for the kind words. That triple Daff is elegant! Your picture captures the sparkle. I'll be following your lead and growing lots of things in pots over the next year or so. I've already got a water buffalo set up at the new place. I can't wait 'till we have running water. : ) MamaG, how are things? Hope you are feeling okay. HUGS! Jean, I saw the cutest flying pic garden sculpture but now I can't find it, darn it! I thought of you.......it was so cute! Lisa, your posts and emails are always fun to read! Dianne, you're doing a great job with the Hosta Shuffle. Did you have that gathering at your place yet? And how is the baby's quilt coming? I took a few shots of some of the things blooming here in my yard...... My Forsythia Arch looks pretty filled in this year. Yes, I am taking it with me. Should be quite interesting when we go to move this one, lol. Here is a new Magnolia I bought in the fall on clearance... Well, both of my sisters who had been looking for houses each got one last week! Funny how things work out. I'm excited to help them move and share lots of my perennials with them. We are almost finished with excavation for the house. The digging for the garage area is done. Note where the red arrow is.....that's pretty much all the further we need to go. That area up there beyond the red arrow will be my back yard. The base for the driveway is almost done. We are finishing up one last drain, then we just have to spread the rest of the #3 gravel. This pic roughly shows where the house & garage will sit. The white line denotes the path of the driveway. As you drive up, you will pass the 3 bay garage on your left and pull up to the garage doors onto the house. I'm not sure what i'm going to do with five garage bays, but I'm pretty excited. Right now I have so much junk in my garage that I have to suck in my gut when I get in & out of my truck, LOL! I ordered my cabinet pulls for my new kitchen... ....and i'm ordering these exterior "birdhouse" lights.... Depending on what brick or stone color we pick for the house, I may have to paint them. Not sure I like that green color. I'm thinking something brown.... DH just rolled his eyes and shook his head. He can't believe i'm ordering this stuff already. I'm afraid when the time comes they won't be available anymore. That's my luck. Wait 'till you see the two man-doors i'm getting for our garages! Think peacock! I inventoried all my Daylilies yesterday (finally!) and will have my list updated later on. I will have my Hosta list updated soon too. ; ) Time to get to work......... HUGS TO ALL and sorry if I missed anybody, ~Dawn (mamabirrd) WHEW!!!
