Well, Good Morning Miss Kim! You sure are an early bird! I am up usually by 7 or 8 (at the latest) but don't seem to get the ambition to log on until later.

Now tell me, what are the Peat Pellet thingys? I don't think I've ever seen anything called Peat Pellets down here.

So cute about getting your daughter to camp a week late! No need to be embarrassed though - I bet many of the kids there have had similar experiences with their moms! LOL. Kids will get over it. Someday she will be the Mom and you can laugh your butt off when she's late picking up her kids or dropping them off somewhere! LOL, I bet by the end of next week she will love camp and be glad you paid for it! It might just take a couple of days for her to make friends and fit in but I bet she ends up having a great time (even if she won't admit it right away!)

Kim, I am like you in enjoying researching plants on-line. My problem is, at my age sometimes five minutes after reading something I don't remember it! I have printed out so much information on different plants and have a file box where I file it all away to refer back to. I also LOVE making pretend orders (although when I write my list down with the name of the company I usually at the time I'm writing have every intention of ordering something.) But, after adding up the total my list usually gets shoved inside a book or magazine or something until I find it weeks or months later and end up throwing it away!

I have already been out this morning trying to move some of my plants back onto the pool deck! We still have to re-paint the back of the house because of the paint splatters the workers got all over everywhere but we can just move the plants out of the way while we are painting! We have done a ton of work on the outside of the house this spring but it's stuff that really needed to be done. Oh Kim, I will be very glad to leave this house when the time comes! We have been in this house 33 years and I have been ready for a change for a long time. I can't wait for my hubby to retire ... I won't look back for a minute! Someone else is welcome to the yard work and other chores that come with an older home!

Well, I better get back to cleaning. I got my old furniture back out on the wood deck next to the pool and hung a few more plants but still have tons of plants sitting out in the yard under trees and hanging in the trees!
