Calvin...I spent about 30 minutes sending pics (looking at my new People mag. while they uploaded, however, so time was not a total loss! ) and got them back as undeliverable as your server or personal acct. was "to capacity" ??

Michelle, I'll do the same for you today when inside cooling off from planting 18 shrubs DH picked up for me at Red Barn yesterday! :)

Sandi...will CC you in on all pics I send Calvin and Michelle. I'll just send all to all 3 of you. And I'd LOVE to come over when I'm "in town" sometime and get the cutting of the coleus that looks as it it's dipped in wine. I wish I had taken the Coleus cuttings and placed them in dirt instead of water in a bag, as they are not looking good. The C. cuttings I did here at home stayed perky but these are all droppy, even tho I stuck them in soil and water immediately when home. Tiny center leaves look good, however, so I'm hoping they survive.

I decided to worship at "St. Garden de Webb" church this morning instead of my usual church since DH is here!...I've got all those shrubs to plant...so I better get going. I told myself I had to be outside by 10:00 to be "on time"!! :) And...all kidding aside....nature is definitely something that provokes lots of thoughts of "where did this all come from?" yes?

PS... Here is a pic of my "growing like weeds" "kitchen" garden...the only ones half-way done and blooming! The purple basil is just going crazy. I'm letting it flower, as it's too tough to use in food prep. There are mints and something purple and green back of the...including some little bushes that I have to protect from the rampaging basil about every 2 days! The front beds are mostly 'Homestead' Verbenas (some of you may have seen my posting on them when I thought they were sickly...but they just needed a "haircut"!), Red Hot Sally, Bulbine, and pits (can't spell the whole word!) bushes. We're waiting on the sprinkler guys to finish the upper level this week..then I'm going to plant something that will cascade over the old rocks on the edge. Any suggestions??
