The Flowerpot cafe' 24 Cyber St

Beautiful table piece there ^_^
As for the pears I eat as many as I can , give away as many as I can , and sneak them into all kinds of stuff. Pears in apple cobbler ,pear/ apple cake, If I have time I will try to make some pearbutter, Just enough to eat I am not into canning. pears last a lot longer than apples before they get mushy. The old pears get fed to the goats.
Been in town all day so I didn't get my picture taken ..oh well they aren't going any where.

No problema on your dilema on the caladiums. I just happen to run across the post there and thought of you...

Now I am still wondering what to do with thos spider lilies.. and then the hub tells me we got snow in the forecast... they are sitting in the gps as I sit here thinking oh now what. I guess I best go fetch them in at this hour or possibly lose them to dormancy. Kitchen counter here they come.. MOVE OVER FRITZ and friends! LOL!

Thanks BB, they told me on the caladium thread just to leave them in the pots, put them upstairs where it is cooler and leave them alone until next season! Yipee, you just save me some shelf space so wanna bring your lilies over?
Gus, that all sounds yummy, never had pearbutter, bet it is sweeter than sweet, I know I love applebutter!

Super haighr! Now that makes me not so not wanting to try them.. leaving them in pots! YAY! Maybe that will be a newbie for me next year. Im marking the calened to hunt for them!

I like pears.. pears and cottage cheese.. other than that.. hmmm. I am deprived in trying anything like what you got going there gus!

Well, gotta go get some tin pans to put those lilies in and clear off a shelf on my plant stand for them. Bigred told me that they will probably stay "grassy" looking for a while. So will find out what goes with them indoors.. its a first!

I han YAY!! DONE with hauling annuals around they are all now moved into the house or the GPS. YAY YAY YA!

Now as for the perennials I did not get in the ground.. oh grrroan! Theres about 250 of them in pots here and there and I had a major implement breakdown yesterday....ugh! Guess I need to cull junk tools too.

Sorry to eat and run, but the hub says snow is on its way... warnings for midnorthern states including IL, WI, IN, OH...Toledo got it already and it feels like it could.

Our son is out in MN on business and said it was very cooooooooolllld and a bit snowy when he got there. He lives in Ohio and gets the lake effect so he knows his snows!
I feel we are all in for a longer winter this year, ours last was quite mild compared to some so guess we are long overdue and by the feel of things outside our chance for that Indian summer seem quite slim to none?

Could be since we hardly even had a real summer.. just long mild days, none overly hot....

Pass the hot chocolate will ya..

Had some hot tea myself last evening. It is still raining and cold here and will continue all weekend. We aren't going to the cabin tonight, but really want to go tomorrow rain or not cause think it may be the last weekend of the fall foliage up there. Didn't make it up when prime last weekend due to the kids being here and we decided to stay home and now the rain and next weekend more kids coming and just Tim and Steve will go to the cabin for muzzle loader hunting so I won't get up there and then it really will be too late after that!

Well I just got some news.. now hush everyone.. Yardqueen is a new gramma... hows about a lil baby flower shower here eh?

Shhhh shhhh! It will be a surprize!

Oh no problem with the surprise here BB???

Now heads up everyone!!!
Attention, Yardqueen is having a new grandbaby and Terri is returning very very soon, so let's get our heads together and get this place spruced up for then and now well nuf said lets get snappn!!! New arrangements (cyber or not) and banners and balloons and baby photos and lets bring on everything we got for this occasion!!!! Get outta bed and outta the garden and get your head caps on and lets get this party started cause YQ and Terri both need a real big Welcome Home and Congrats and whatever else our sorry soles can provide!!!

Welcome back Terri, know you shall be here soon our friend!

Pssst.... is she here yet? Quick, everyone take your places! Both for her and Yardqueen....

I'm in for the celebrations - but I have to dash out for now, but will return later tonight to help spruce up and decorate.

Im off to the nursery to to see whay I can conjur up!

Well I fixed up a few arrangements on a couple of the tables and put a wooden cradle in the back for when YQ brings the new grandbaby over.

BB, here is the beehive we talked about, it hangs over the tv at the cabin.

Look at the beautiful design, how do they do this?

Steven, guess what - we got pears too, still a bit sour but maybe in a few more weeks.

The nest is beautiful! Well as luck would have it the one nest here fell out of the tree and broke and I think the coyotess got it after taht becasue it was in a million peices.. dang!

The second hive is still up in the tree, but it has a tear in the bottom from a branch rubbing.. so dont think we are gonn abe able to get that one either.

Oh shoot, perhaps you will find another next season. I wonder how they make those, it is really just like paper mache with such an intriguing design.
Here it is hanging over the tv at the cabin.

Hello everyone!!!!!! Remember me???????? well I'm nearly back, so this ole cafe is still going? think we need a makeover here, the paint is falling off the walls. LoL but the arrangements and grub are fabulous, darlings!!!!

Hope everyone is tip top? hello newgirl!!!! who's Fritz???? anyway will catch up with everything and everyone soon.




Ahhh new Grandbaby for Yardqueen, that's wonderrful news.

Just a flying visit, missed you all.
Terri

Blossom, check out the cafe mailbox...
A postcard from Liverpool!!!

It's peaceful here on Formby beach, the river Mersey in view.

Laters!

Terri!!!! Great that you can pop in the cafe, if only just for a bit. Here's some roses just for your table.

Oh terri, soooo very goood to see you again, we all sure did miss you.

Big hug and an affectionate squeeze dear.

Here this is for you! It is a live planted arrangement! Do sit down and take a load off! Heeear too, have a cuppa (_)?

Oh Fritz,hmmm how to explain him. Maybe he will show himself again. He is really something, but shhhh, dont say anything about his nose.. he has a big bird complex...he has been the hired help around here and well....you know how wild and crazy things can get! He is like a beast in the jungle at times! But he sure can bake!

Welcome home friend, so glad you had a minute to drop in. We didn't paint or do any restoration while you were gone cause we didn't want to be in the middle of it upon your return. Besides we know how you like to pick the paint colors. It has been a long time since the last restoration. Perhaps when you are back full time we can get a new thread started with the newly renovated cafe.
BB, you are not picking any furniture this time, too much retro stuff ^_^.
Brought this arrangement back in for your welcome home Terri, not much left to work with these days. Had our first frost last night.
Tim, Amy, Eva and Colton are coming tomorrow evening and staying for the week for muzzleloader season, so likely that I won't be around much, perhaps a bit during the day.
Oops almost forgot, when we renovate the cafe, can Fritz stay? He overhead Terri talking and was wondering if he was going to be replaced. I think he should go with us as Terri hasn't even had a chance to try his exotic chef treats? What do you all say?

Well, Fritz can stay if SW approves. He got him the job so I think SW should have a say on that.

That is fine too on the furniture picking because well, I admit, that is not my bag. I will roll the new paint if ya'll chose the colors.

Out here we call it firearm season and I don't mind the hunting as long as the folks do it where they are not causing issues with other landowners who do not appreciate their sanctuaries disrupted. We will be carding folks for that.

Well terri so glad you are back and as soon as you get organized and settled in we all will pitch in for the new restoration!

Oh haighr, watch out around the butcher block, um "PyRex" is hanging around there.

Hi everyone!
Thanks for the pretty pink roses Dianne, lovely on my table! Is that a new vase??? I love it!!!
Blossom sweetie, please put the planted arrangement on the patio, Thank you it's beautiful.
I don't mind this Fritz guy staying if you say he can bake!!!!! sounds good to me.
I hope Candee is still baking on Fridays because I so look forward to her pies and cheesecakes.??


Yikes!!! you'd better give Plantgeek a call, she can take 'PyRex' home with her, haha!!

Candee, Hi, Love your Big leaves, looks like Jackson Pollock's been here LoL!! splashin' paint around on your leaves.
Thank you!!
It might be a while yet before I'm back, I think someone should risk it and open a new cafe', just make sure we look better than the rival hahaha!!!










Have fun!
Terri

Terri, please open the new cafe and I will put the planter on the patio there! And everyone can load up the cyber-semi with all the goodies!

It is sooo good to have you back even if it is for a few moments and we look forward to your inspection of the new cyberbuilding as soon as you are able!

I love the postcard of the Mersey! Thank you so much!

Pyrex is slitherin around the peppers now so if Geek shows up hes in the laundryroom under the lights there! But tell him not to eat the pansys...He is a vegitarian yano!

Blossom my dear, I am 300 miles away from home, in a sleepy village with 1 flower shop !! ok slight exageration!!! but you get the picture?

Yano!!!! I think post 7168562 would make a yummy Flowerpot cafe' 25.

MUM!!! Wait before you grind up terri for no good reason.. shes gotta open a new cafe!!

Here are some flowers for Mum too so she does not feel so bad and all left out.

Ohhhh - do we really get to go across the Mersey? I loved that song by Gerry and the Pacemakers -" Life goes on day after day, hearts torn in everyway, so Ferry, 'cross the Mersey, 'cause this land's the place I love, and here I'll stay." A perfect singing in the shower song.

I miss bumping around in that grand ole teapot. It's about time we went on another trip.
