Morning JJ

Sorry Dave how rude of me. Morning
I want to play in your water. Can't believe how clear it is.

Moon that link has wonderful pictures. I want to go now. But I don't think I could climb all those stairs!!!

Trina don't overdo today and relapse.

I wont JJ I am gonna start on the first one in the back, and if I don't feel alright I will stop!

Good trina I have to get busy now on my yard. Going to the house of weeds around 11.
She wants me to take the lawnmower keys form her DH. Someone else had taken them but he hid one and won't give it up. lol

Want to get that one bed over there done so I can plant these roses. Keep telling myself I have no room at my house for them. Everyday they are here I want to give them up a little less. Maybe another trip to HD is in order!!!

Have a great day will be back later.

Hey the first rose tree came out pretty easy...its a Peace and Chrysler Imperial graft mix...here's hoping the others do too! cause there are 5 of them and 1 pink weeper

Next year plant pot and all trina. Will make it lot easier.

next year just move pots to deck and forget about it!...I knew better and I did it any way. Well I underestimated the amount of potting soil I needed to...wait til this after noon when I ask him for "money for dirt"...oh well live, learn, and laugh about it later

2 down and 4 to go

anyone have a napkin??? I'm drooling all over my desk reading about chocolate laced croissants. (Better push in my keyboard drawer )

Pace yerself, Girl!

I am Julie...so far none of the roots spread...still in the same small ball I started with....getting in the house will be where I have a problem!

About the drooling, aren't they terrible..chocolate criossants.....evil people won't share! LOL.....I'm doing a happy dance all the way around today...I got some trades that should be coming soon....yeah I know like I need more plants...but see some are leaving too!! LOL

boy you guys are being very productive!
Venice I can't believe how many plants you have in that one "small" garden of yours! Very pretty celosia! U have some sedums the bumblebees are all over them.
Trina take it easy over there!

I am..I think 2 was enough for me today

Yeah I got one in the house...stupid thing got caught on everything!!!

Guess who is digging a new temporary flower bed to put rescued plants??

Had a place I planted everything temporarily and DH planted grass seed there. arrrr

He'll be so happy to see it tilled up when he gets home.
Must be time for me to clean out the garage for him, that is usually a good reminder for him to ask before messing with my mud. hehe

If the darn grass would quit growing I could start putting up Halloween.
Put it out last year and had to take all down to mow the yard!! not fun
Can't wait to get out all the new stuff I bought, if I can remember where I stuck it. :)

hah I do the same thing JJ...
Trina I hope you're resting.
I have to go out & find a bigger pot for my shrubs....I only have one big one.

Why aren't your shrubs in the ground?
And I thought you bought a tree so you would have a big pot??

Good morning everyone. I can't keep up anymore! :-) You are some busy ladies. have a super day all

Whoa Lynn, your in NY, and I see you are too smiley. Lets hope my son doesn't find that out, or he will be headed that way to visit.............

Yes, born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, but is a Bills fan....................Where did I go wrong???

He is also an Indians baseball fan...............Go figure!!!

Kassy, Lynn is in Massachusetts. I am, however, in Buffalo. Sad to say, from a sports point of view. My neighbor is a HUGE GB fan. Even named his 5th son Brett.

Has your son ever been here for a game? Or to Cleveland for an Indians game? We went there 2 years ago for a Red Sox-Indians game. Buffalo's AAA baseball team used to be the farm team for The Indians. They dropped us, though. Now we are the farm team for The Mets.

Is Pulaski any where near Delevan? We talk to people in customer service at one of our vendors all the time, they are in Delevan.

Kassy I'm in MA....I do heart NY though lol

JJ the shrubs I have to re-pot are to replace 2 dwarf alberta spruce flanking my front steps...I had been looking for these shrubs for a long time & came upon them at walmart of all places..they were tiny and I wanted more mature ones (impatient as I am) because they would be in such a prominent place. I hate dwarf alberta spruce as entry plantings, they often get too big for the space. So I potted them and now the pots are too small so it's either plant them in their assigned spot (for which they're still too small) or re-pot them. I don't have a place to move the 2 dwarf alberta spruce to yet (maybe the rock garden area?) so I'm re-potting the shrubs. I'll drag them in for winter.

I found the pots at HD...I didn't bring anything else home today aren't you guys proud of me?
The tree I bought yesterday is tiny and in a smaller pot than the shrubs lol

Good morning everybody! Aloha kakahiaka!

Here's more tide pool at Kapoho, in Puna.

beautiful Dave, feel like I'm there...

Good morning Dave^_^

No smiley, Delevan is way to the south of me, almost in Illinois...........LOL
Well close anyway. Let me see if I can locate my map again if I didn't delete it.
No, he has never been there for a game, but talked about moving there one time, and I told him he better get a big snow shovel...........LOL
I believe the Indians have a training camp in Florida, and that he has been to. DIL's mother lives in Florida.
smiley, your neighbor should have named his son Bart!! I'm a old Bart Star fan ^_^
How did he take it when Brett when to the jets? LOL
Well now he is with the vikings, and this could be interesting...........LOL

Going to look for the map that I had ^_^

Lynn, you need to move too...........LOL

Hi Lynnie!

I'm gone to get blood tests done, and do a little work. See everyone later.

Here one more photo of Kapoho.

OK smiley,
My BF lives where the top arrow is on this map.
I live about where the middle arrow is on the map........Near Green Bay ^_^

And Delevan is about where I put the bottom arrow on this map.

move to WI?
I re-potted my shrubs, I think it's time for a coffee break.....

No Lynn, I ment you need to move to NY............LOL

Make sure to take those rocks with you ^_^

Woah, Kassy! That was kind of like asking if Buffalo is near Albany, or something like that.

Now, we don't get THAT much snow. Well, OK, we got 8 feet one year. But that's because the storm wasn't moving.

I Love Lake Effect !!

Oh and smiley, he has been to a Bills game that was played here in Green Bay. He was in charge of security, for the games one year, so he was on the field with them.

We could go rock hunting, Lynnie. Actually, there's a really cool place near Buffalo where you can go digging for fossils. I was an old sea bed, millions of years ago. AND you can take out any rocks you can carry.

OK, past my bed time............One more night to go ^_^

That must have been fun, Kassie. My uncle used to work security for the stadium concerts, and would sneak us in for free.

Coffee ready get Lynn? Sounds like you drink coffee like I do.

Trina must be napping ^_^

I keep "IE" -ing Kassy's name. Sorry about that.

lol Smiley..I make a full pot in the Am and drink it all day till it's gone...this is the last of it. You must have heard about my rock obsession lol

Lynnie, I have a lot of bumble bees but only a few honey bees. They first were all over the yellow marigolds, then the celosia, and now the autumn fire sedum. When I come out in the morning, I usually see a bumble bee asleep in the flowers. I watered yesterday morning and I tried not to disturb the one sleeping right on top of the sedum. But he got a little wet, moved over a bit, buzzed his wings to get the water off, and then he went back to sleep! Once they are asleep not much will disturb them.

Aren’t you the one that has the agastache seeds? I do have a few seeds if you would like to trade.

Yellow celosia
Autumn fire sedum (not ready yet)
Pink coneflowers
Blue ageratum
Orange moss roses
Pretty tall multi-color zinnias
Rudbeckia triloba (tall tiny black-eyed susan in a bush)
Lamb’s ear
Yellow marigolds
Orange marigolds with not as many petals

Are you interested?

Trina, I think I named all of these for you to choose.

Or if anyone else is interested.

This photo of rudbeckia was taken towards the end of their blooming.
