Donna,
Did you by chance leave a linaria for me? I found one on a picnic table with a couple of other plants that it looked like someone was going to take home, but they were left behind. One had a label saying it was a Linaria. Will send photo of the group of plants, maybe I can find out who they were meant for.
Still trying to find the owner of a nice Black not Brown zippered sweater. Anyone missing it?
Donna, I'm very glad you are back from being AWOL. I played hooky myself one day this week and went with DH to work. Will post new thread on playing hooky. LOL!
Sherry, my roses are blooming profusely right now. They are also trying to put new suckers up. I guess I need to find my clippers and take care of it. Have you seen any hummers bathing in a rose yet? No wait that was KC! I saw mine in a mass of 4 O'clocks.
Good news everyone! About 10 years ago Mom and my YS collected those big Lupine seeds from the plants along side the road and planted them all along the other side of the creek along the driveway. Yesterday, I saw them blooming for the first time ever.
Mom was so thrilled that she said, that she couldn't wait to walk (yes walk) over to see them. This is good news. Since mostly she has been staying inside and sleeping or reading. She doesn't even garden anymore. : - (
It made her really happy, and believe me, I haven't seen her happy in a long time. Not since she had the stroke and broke those two bones above her ankle. So it's really good to see her happy and excited about something. : - )
Dang it, those bananas you all saw at the RU are ripe now. I had to cut them down yesterday before they snapped off under their own weight and fell into the pool. If anyone wants some and lives close enough to pick some up, please let me know. I know now that I can freeze the extra's, I was going to make banana bread for the RU, but the freezer melt down we had ruined those bananas. Rats! Don't forget I have two more bunches of bananas already setting fruit too. Thank goodness they didn't all become ripe at once! I'd have to set up a stand on the street to sell them. LOL!
We've also had a snow storm of sorts. All of those lovely Honey Locust trees have started dropping their blossoms and covering the ground in white, then the wind blows them up against stuff and they look like snow drifts. The only bad part is if you are walking around barefoot (that would be me) and they stick to the bottom of your feet. LOL!
WIB!
