Tills

Just down loaded some on photo bucket. 40 of them LOL

My load of dirt is here so off I go.

OMG The "attack bush" was soooo funny. It kept jumping on everybody! :D

I'm loving the pics, it's nice to see some of the stuff I missed, and so fun to remember the parts I was there for. And wow, there were so many awesome door prizes! I'm very excited about the big bag of tulip bulbs and the plant markers I got. And the gift exchange, again so much great stuff! I love my tupperware dishes!

I captured the 'inner sanctom' of Sharons life. This is one of the 5 greenhouses she had. Music was playing in all of them. This warm and wonderful place would be my choice for spending the winter activly planning next year.

Now as we transition to our next garden I must report the proponderance of Faries in the woodlands of South Prairie. They were everywhere and led my casually through the forest floor.

The transit of gardens here was a winding road only 100 yards where we entered a bright sunny opening in the trees. First we entered a trail of mosses and sedums capped with displays of floral highlights. You were asked by the fairies to look from the bridge to see if danger lurked with a troll below. Knowing we had strength in numbers we boldly crossed.

I was greeted by this wispy one who said that today was special and I should go with her and fly to a secret and sunny home. Being alone I felt excited to fly with her.

It took a little time for my wings to grow and off I went to this warm home with I learned "cibyl" my fairy lived. It was festooned with vast amounts of Daylilies each with names and numbers of propagation data. Hydrangeas centered the variety of plantings of textured changes, coordinated colors and highlights of nature's creatures. I had to fly over the beds because of fear of stepping on Heron nests.

An arrow flew by me and burst with glittering decent. She smiled and I too glowed with the richness of the scenes below.

This grotto stopped me and I glanced quickly but again no troll grunted. Just a toadly chuckle emerged. I suppose seeing me with wings would be humorous to such deviners of forest events.

I tried hovering above the water but it seems fairies stay well above water for fear of being caught by fish swimming below. I believe I became intuitive to the wings I now posessed.

Passing and pausing, waiting for this one, who shares the kindness of my wife's heart, to say a familar word. I heard only the purring of her thoughts.

Next I floated to the wishes of this place and peered deeply into the darkness, hoping for my nature of wings to explore the essence of its creation.

I now was confident with winged flight I could hover at the bloom and partake of nectar. It tasted a lot like chicken. LOL

I now understand the message that this garden lives by. Though I could not sustain the character of the forest for I believe that they only dance at night.

I left this side and the sun emerged my wings melted. All that I saw of my friends were sparkles of light dancing around the sky.

Boy was it nice to have weightlessness. Julie now has us go to her green house area and this is what we were greeted by.

Crossing the bridge that is now a dry stream we learn that it becomes a stream with each rainfall. This garden is fun to walk bare foot in because of the soft carpet of grass and cool water.

I found it hard to imagine the hours of joy each day brings, to Julie, when she has to water and talk with all of her potted plants sitting at the entrance of each day.

This is a captured moment of His Majesty just before leaving Sharon's. I will follow with close ups of Sharon's and Julie's individual plants tonight.

Steve you are to good, I love the way you narrate the clips.

But on the bridge you forgot to look behind you. Or should have on the way over the bridge Mmmmm

Aaaaaaah! OMG I love the attack frog. I want one! :D

No for the fun part as we all had food and lots of refreshment's LOL

The gift exchanged.
The way this works ( I hope I got it right) Is that all that brought a gift draws a number, Numbers are from 1 to ?. The person that has the #1 was the best seat. As the #'s are called each person has to unwrap the gift then the next person can steal the gift or pick a new wrapped gift. The person with the #1 at the end can steal a gift from anyone, as long as it was not stolen from someone all ready. (Hope I got that right)

Sharon was the number caller.

And I was so shocked that I was Laurie's Presentationer (that was a hard word for me) as she sent a gift.
Numbers where picked, I had to draw twice. One for Laurie, to keep it up and up I tore a piece of the paper that was hers. I drew the #3 and Lauries was #20. there where 20 #'s. This gets better LOL

Pony the #1

Opps forgot the pic

The pic

Better pic of Pony, did not get her face in the first one

There was no # 2 and I had #3 gave my camera to Carl. As I knew what I wanted, Hope no one would take it from me. Cause I knew where it came from was not hidden LOL

I will not go by #'s now as there where to many #'s that had no person to pick them.

Steve was next, He pick a manly box. Oh must not forget the wine LOL

Note to self: Get yer roots done before going to Roundups! Got a nice 3-tone hair thing going on there... sheesh. ;p

I dunno who's gift the tupperware was, but thank you! I'm forever running out of containers, so that's something I was real happy to get. :)

In this box where 2 items, which his theatrics are a little hard to put in words. He will have to do it LOL

What he is telling Phoenix, I don't have a clue. Poor pup may get some bad habits

The other gift in the box LOL now he is drinking the blood of ???
I did not catch who he said.
