Good Morning Moon!

Morning moon,starting to worry about ya. JJ good stratigy on stopping may try that one.

Morning moon
You have such pretty never ending flowers, bushes and trees.

One of the towns by me started a burning ban on leaves. Now they have neighbors fighting over whose leaves they are. One lady picked up all the leaves and threw them over the neighbors fence , said heer tree her leaves.

Well flowers if nothing else the house is sanitized. I even got a bonus and lost 15 lbs because food tasted terrible with that bleach on my hands. Sorry to say it came back with a few friends. :)

Trina are your min. roses hardy?

Funny JJ, ok gotta go play with the mushrooms Enjoy the talks thanks for putting up with one with little experience but lots of enthusiasm.

Good morning Moon...

Thanks,
Oh JJ nice on the down feathered quilt! Be nice to recycle...lol got to love trash to treasure finds.

Trina, wow you got a nice mini collection! Ever think of making a mini garden? Theres a whole thread with them...really really cute.

Awsom on the costumes, used to make all mine too...We attend an annual party, this year we are going as some family theme, can't decide..Thinking of Snow White and 6 dwarves! LOL, sleepy is too tired to go!!, lol we only have 7 going to party.

They put up with me flowers and the experience don't get any littler. :)

Wastin sunshine here gottta get busy. Any and all help welcome!!

No grocery store in town, can't be a picky eater but we do have two taverns so we won't run out of drinks!!!!

Good to see you all. Will be popping in and out as I have a few minutes between have to do, need to do and want to do projects and obligations.....no rest for the wicked (sense of humor only) grin....and GSJordan wants to have a Hallowe'en party.....deadlines to meet.....sigh....grin

Thanks Moon! Are you familiar with Jeff Beck? It's a great blues song.

Nice sewing everyone! My mom, grandma and I made a generations quilt about 25 years ago. Mom it's all off-white muslin. Mom did the sewing, grandma did the finishing, I did the embroidery in the squares.

I made my own nest (out of sculpey) for Easter. I should take pictures, it's cute.

I think if you really *want* to quit smoking, you can. No matter what method you try. I had a friend who quit for 2 years. In that 2 years, she craved a cigarette every day. I think she quit for the wrong reason. Keep going Trina! we're rooting for ya! Maybe that will give ME the incentive. JJs, the bleach thing wouldn't work for me, I work in a bleach factory. I can see how that would work, though!

Trina, that's a lot of mini roses!

The latest Martha Stewart magazine has a neat Halloween party idea involving a pot of dry ice.

AWWWW This thing fell on me. Moving on to another part of yard, those weeds won.
Good bug , bad bug, DEAD bug now.

eww! ewww-w! ewww-w-w !!! My gosh JJs, that's ugly!!!

SmileyJ, I have been a Jeff Beck fan since his time in the mid 60's with the Yardbirds. Saw him live at the Warehouse in New Orleans in '72 (5 mos pregnant, but hey it's Jeff Beck)lol.

yes JJ my mini's are hardy so long as I mulch well, I also have to trim them back really short so now's the time if you want cuttings to tell me, cause I am going to have to do that soon

I'm getting a feel for where you are musically... I've never seen him live, would love to.

There's a place in Buffalo called "The Tralf" that has some really nice acts play. Robin Trower was just there (I didn't go), and I've seen Todd there a bunch of times. It would be a perfect place for him.

I saw Ringo Starr when I was REALLY pregnant with Jacob, it wasn't much fun at that point, too pregnant!

someone sent me an e-mail, and they have these little thoughts for the day on them. This one just struck me funny, if you picture it in your minds' eye:

Thought for the day: "The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." Douglas Adams

Smiley I have a Jacob. ( Dillons dad)

OK back outside, but if another spider gets on me, I'm getting out the spray.

Moon come help me. My spiders are tame compared to your snakes and bugs. :)

I love that name. he said I'm the only one that calls him Jacob. Everyone else calls him Jake.

Good luck with them spiders. Keep telling yourself they eat the bad bugs.

screaming...EEEKSS. OMG, that would have me in the house in a half a second. You are brave to make it a dead bug, lol.

Hey, small world, I got a Jacob too. my youngest and only son. 14.

Moon, you planning a HW party, how fun! What you going as?

Trina, good luck on the quitting...

Well, laundry is almost done...packed up my swap package, now to work on my tote.

ok here are the pics of the mini's that are blooming

Wow...JJs, I like spiders....never killed anything but the three poisonous ones. Used to have a pet Chilean rose-haired tarantula, named Elanore.

SmileyJ I listen to a wide variety of music...everything from Altan to Zappa, love world music, Super soukas to Tuuven throat singing, blues and old jazz...close friend is a music promoter and we work with him a few times a year. I have been fortunate enough to meet a few of my favorites...Van the man, John Mayall, Areatha Franklin, Irma Thomas, UB40,Dr. John, the Nevilles, and the list goes on. been doing that since '92. When we moved from Baton Rouge to Prairieville, the station wagon was loaded with nothing but albums, tapes and CD's.I guess when it comes to music I am a hoarder...do they have a twelve step program for that? LMAO

Hey Seed. One year we made a Hallowe'en costume out of toilet paper...does that count as crafty? grin

and here's a better picture of the orange one

Good morning everybody! Nice Roses!

Hey Trina, what did you want to know about Datura & Passiflora?

Does your Passionflower vine make fruit?

climbing blue Moon or angel face I can't remember

no my passionflower does not make fruit because it's the kind I'm supposed to hand pollinate and I don't know how

I have no idea what it's called

another that I have no name for

did I post this? its the mini blue moon

and another one with no name

Moon, me & DH would be going right to that meeting with you.

Van the Man??? You met him??? And Aretha??? I am very jealous!
Do you know who the Funk Brothers are?

The orange one is very pretty. Well, they all are.

thanks Julie...I have more but they don't have blooms right now, buds but no blooms
