new: obf: july 'beat the heat' swap
Comments (134)hi everyone. lots to catch up on. hope EVERYONE is well, prayers and happy thoughts to all that need them. melissa, just love that lili pic. i remember the first time my son fed himself spaghetti. head to toe and everything in between. carol, in such a short period of time, your yard is amazing. dottie, this weather is nuts, isn't it. i appreciate the rain, less to water, especially since i never hooked up the drip system (again) this year. i still don't have a red tomato, but i certainly have some wonderful weeds. i'm not losing sleep over anything in the back yard beds this year, i have all intentions of revamping absolutely everything and building a few raised beds and walls come autumn. my hydrangeas this year have been the most spectacular show stoppers in my beds. each one is prettier than the next and so many different colors. i hope to dry some blooms this year and keep them at least until christmas that i can put them in a tree. a friend of mine did that one year and it was such a wonderful tree. just hydrangea and vertical ribbons - simple and gorgeous. my g-babe turned 3 last friday and we floated around to various spca's and finally, she found her dog who she named "lisa". it's a cute little thing - a wire haired dachsund. i am thinking it might be a little mix in it, but she's so cute and rather intelligent. a real cuddle bug too. my g-babe is learning to walk her and pick up after her on our walks as well. hot and sticky today - i relented and turned on the air. i've had it on in the car for about a month already this month's swap boxes are just great so far. hope to read about august soon. time to catch up on all the OBF activities. be well everyone, happy blooms maryanne...See MoreOBF Dec Shhhh !!!!

LOLOL -2 sparkly snowflake scented soaps in a pretty Christmas bag-1 is chocolate scented and the other is peppermint scented-Ummmm... -2 snowman and cardinal potholders with a matching dish towel -HUGE plant markers -Russel Stover Triple Chocolate Mousse bars! -chocolate peppermint bread mix-I can't wait to try this! -Andes creme de menthe thins-I may share a few of these with my mother as they are her favorite. - tin of holiday spiced tea -a BEAUTIFUL sparkly angel ornament.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!! Deb, I like that idea of a succulent/cacti swap! We'll have to remember that one! Connie, I'm sorry to hear about your cousin. Don't give up though, it sounds like you're helping! My mother had stage 4 ovarian cancer last year and her doctor recommended finding a good hospice. She changed doctors, beat the cancer, and is now happy in her garden, playing with the irises and cosmos! Miracles do happen! SEE YOU ALL AT THE BOX SOCIAL!!!...See More*OBF Christmas in JULY* swap!
Comments (37)Oh no! I sent some plant material. I sent a Neon philo with roots! And I sent 2 african violet/ sets of leaves (one mini) and one standard size! I wanted to send more, but the darn box was too small. I sent a medium sized box (not flat rate) and this time I probably should of used the flat rate one. The box I sent was $16. And the flat rate one was $14 something. But, I had the stuff all packaged, so didn't want to unbox anything at the post office. I can re-send the cuttings. There is no way they are alive if the box is in your mailbox all this time. :( Anyway, just let me know, and I'll send another box of plant cuttings out. I'll fill it a lot more this time! Because I'll have an empty box! I'll send some Hoya cuttings too. And other houseplants that I have. I totally loved your succulent starts you sent! :)...See Morecanyonwind
