Evening, read all your posts and so enjoyed the chatter..

Looks as though we have 2 more gardeners, nice to see. Darlene and John dropped in for a bit this morning and they were so admiring my trumpet blooms..Lindakay, looked at mine, they seem to come off of all single stems, do you mean 1 stem with 3 trumpets on it. I have a few I grew from a friends trumpets, he thought he gave me yellow ones but so far all yellow on outer ridge with inner pinks.i planted 2 think8mg that I be luckier having the others in a pot but that ain’t so.

John checked my growing shelving lights, one didn’t work, guess I didn’t have the bulb in right. I did learn so much as to what i could and what i wouldn’t plant and what time frame from March growing, think i will really enjoy it.
Karen, i knew you worked pretty steady on the quilts but i sure didn’t realize you did over 100..what a wonderful think for you to do..know you enjoyed presenting them and seeing veterans getting them.

Teacup,I don’t do well with planters, not even lush plant hangers I buy, they die so quickly and yet Marie, the lady I let have hanging baskets on my trees are outstanding. Next year will have to tell her, I’ll give you more planting area if you look after my hanging basket. I have over a dozen hydrangeas Teacup in my gardens but they always turn white, must be acidity in the ground. Somebody gave me several rose of Sharon, 2 roots i left in container have grown like crazy, need to plant by fall but where?? My main task when all those phlox need cutting down is the move them, they are too tall for front edge of gardens.

yesterday i was at the ear doctor and had several test, good hearing as did I have 2 years ago so equilibrium isn’t problem ✔️ that one off my slits as well. Picked up a few bags of groceries and don’t know how I got home, was on couch or bed since I got home, couldn’t move for migraine..thank goodness vs needles my migraines which i haven’t had in years work with excedrin migraine..Tom from Shannon’s kitchen next door parked his 2 cars in my drive as they needed parking, said he would be over with a fish and chip / salad and desert meal, told him nope, couldn’t hold my head up to eat it.

I was up at 5 this morning finishing Graysons sketch and framing it, no sooner did Ido so Sharon picked me up and we headed to Kyle’s for Grayson’s 2nd birthday. Nobody but nobody should have a party like that, 1st thing Sharon said was ‘that was disgusting’. No word of a lie, he got just from one aunt and uncle a bag with 15 brand name outfits, big Tonya equipment etc. bag after bag after bag of clothing and toys. His great grandmother bought him a lan rover drivable truck with radio/ cb in it, that is ok but he already has 2 of them. Shaking my head..Christmas is right around the corner, no kid should be that spoilt rotten, his cake was a big 2, hard to tell by photo but there was 5-6 constriction vehicles on it, for construction earth it was grated chocolate, the boulders were some type of fabricated chocolate, looked amazing but didn’t taste great. Don’t i sound like I’m awful, some toys, some clothes and money in bank would have been as generous! Poor little one was so tired opening gifts that by the time it was cake time he just cried..

Was tired when i got in, no sooner did i climb into bed Suzanne called, she, Linda and I will go out for breakfast in the morning, right now we are waiting for a leader to so where we are going and what time..i am usually the leader but not tonight.
