Joyce, I have lots of cuttings rooting right now, and some root balls.. I still have alot to get to Fate from all the ones she sent me last year.
I am so sorry for all your folks and their ill healths as they decline, I have gone thru all of that with all of mine and now they are gone, and thank goodness I have you all to worry about and love. My prayers for you abound with strength and patience.
Faye, DO NOT SEND POSTAGE! sheesh!


I hope susie is okay.
Here is my days journal:

Son came over tonight to peruse the big tubs left outside, they are blooming and he says
" How come you don't have these at my place>"

I just looked at him, " you don't water or feed or pick off worms or spray for bugs, thats why"

what a dummy! LOL He is good with his perennials I put in, he mows around them. LOL
I stopped at a family owned place called Hillside Feed and Seed today, and decided I am going back to swap cuttings of brugs for their special plants I don't have that they have too many of. I am now in love as this place is on my way home and close enough to go to on lunch' I signed up for the points earned rewards thing. I got this stuff from them and I just sprinkled this stuff for all kinds of bugs and fungus gnats in all the inside pots and tubs, I went thru a whole can just inside. I am going back for more for the outside plants to come in.
It is a Bonide product. I did get the Judo from Gordon, but that stuff scares the bejeezes out of me. I don't want my Duke to die from sniffing around those pots.
Judo sounds like it would hurt him.
Alex is blooming away he is so cute, Dola is outstanding, CG is still yellow and Maya has three blooms tonight, good thing, since she is coming in this weekend. The little nub I stuck in a pot of outside plants this past spring has rooted and is throwing off shoots. It was from the side shoot I took off Chrissy.
Stopped off at DD's ( the single mother 39 yr old) and she was crying out of frustration of being a mother of a 16 soon to be 17 yr old son. Like a good mother, I could only hug her and tell her this too shall pass..He got a D on his report card. It was devastating to her .. and it is in Algebra, and I bit my tongue cuz I never went past 8 th grade general math. And, he is a good boy.. she could be crying cuz he got a gal pregnant or something like that.. Right? Her Pendulas Pink and Flamenco both had blooms, but the B Aurea I gave her was fighting for life, so I clipped the stems off and told her to keep the root ball in the basement this winter, and we will put it in the ground this spring. I brought home a stem of B aruea and a stem of PP, which originally had come from AuntB.
I am so tired. work at 7 tommorrow, it is so dark out when I leave and so dark when I get home.. Bleah. I used the flashlight to go pluck ripe yellow 4 o clocks and dried TenTen jmg pods.
So much dirt and leaves on the downstairs steps I am waiting for them to sprout. I caught another mouse in the trap out in the garage. That is 6 this Fall. They eat my seeds.
Okay,
I am done..
