I'll get you all a pic. tomarrow.
Miss B havin
I'm proud of you, Elizabeth,,,,ya got your door put up. Sometimes they just make us be troublemakers..lol
Dee
I will Pic's of my house tommorrow, the outside of it from the front yard, then the side yard, then the back yard, where you can see my door, then just imagine, the nice door instead of an old screen door, it was like a walk in freezer in the coldest part of winter, but now it's just cold, I think it was used as a mud room at one time
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, did you have any new brugs blooming today. I'm wondering how fast the cuttings under the lights will grow this winter?
Dee
My noid has slowed down but still has buds. I took a pic but
that was the one where I forgot the sims card. DUHHHHHH!!
well, my noid did bloom finally but the bloom that I was watching, didn't open completely, almost but not quite. Looked a little deformed, but it really wasn't. I just wasn't proud enough of her to take a pic..lol..
Charleen, my DH does the digital camera. Sometimes I just snap the pics,,lol...I know nothing about it, but I do know that he forgets the card alot too..lol
Dee
It is funny, but it isn't. But I love my little camera.
It is a Kodak EasyShare and I really enjoy it
after I learned how to use it. It took me a while but I
got it down until the Batteries run down. I have learned to keep a
battery charger plunged in and I have batteries ready now.
Dee
no new ones Blooming today, but Painted Lady is almost open, golden Lady same thing, & Summer Kisses, Rosa Traum, should be open Tuesday, I am leaving those in the ground, but I will be digging Elizabeth, Mem Bon Bon
double peach, NN, tommorrow, by wednesday, I will have all of them dug, I don't want to take any chances, I want to have them ready to go in the basement, if I have to do it in a hurry, did yours allready Bloom, I know it was getting ready to
Elizabeth
Charlene
that;s what I gave my 3 GK's, 2 of them got theirs for Christmas last year then I gave the other one to my GD for her birthday plus I gave them money, I found out that's the gift that never gets returned, they love it also, I gave my oldest DD
a leximart with the docking station, she loves it, yours takes really good Pic's
Elizabeth
Thank you. I think everyone needs a good little camera and they don't need to cost an arm and a leg either.
I bet those kids love them. Now I need to learn to put them on disks. It is amazing how many pic I got from my Mom when she
passed away. They are not loaded on disks either.
going to bed Girls, I know this thing says 8:37 but here it is actually 9:37.
good night, Elizabeth and Dee.
Have a good night.
Charleen
Back to Christmas, Charleen don't you go shopping the day after Thanksgiving? It's a blast...Race for the bargains!I go with my daughters and sometimes the older grandkids go.When the doors open we have head in all different directions, to get the bargains that we are after..lol...
Dee

Dee
oops we posted at the same time, up there
Dee
Elizabeth...Summer Kisses and Rosa Traum... i am gonna have to look those two up, haven't heard of them..
Dee
Very nice...of course!
Night Elizabeth.
Dee
Ladies Goodnight
Dee you really need to order from the seedbank at BGI, Ludger is from Germany, he has some on there, he has some amazing crosses
have a good nights sleep, I will be on here tommorrow about 3;00 so I'll see you then with some new Pic's
Elizabeth
It is raining!! The dog gone weatherman finally
got lucky in what they were talking about.
Oh, well I got plenty to do in here, Just didn't want
to. ^_^
Here's the shaggy wisteria on Trampoline
on a raining Monday.This is down in the mule pasture,
I don't keep it trimmed like I should. See all the poke salad
growing?? I have it all over.
Charlene
I like your shaggy Wisteria, I hope you don't get rained out there, it was a beautiful day today, I got the potting soil that I needed today, they had a sale on Crown of thorns, I bought one for my friend & I got the 3 that was left, I got the 6ft catcus in on the back porch, & the other catcus I put in the Attic, got 3 more Brugs dug up, now I am down to 15
I will keep digging till they are all done, I can't believe how fast today went, I hope you are taking it easy today
the rain gives you a chance to rest a little bit
Elizabeth
Yes, today has been rather, nice. The temp is 64 degrees and reallly not bad, except for
the rain. But am not complaining, we need it. There is a Ginko tree planted behind that Wisteria.
I bet if I walked out there, there would be one laate bloom on it too. It sends out late blooms quite often.
It is purple one, I've necer seen the white one do it. They do good to bloom in the spring.
Hi girls, I just got in from grandma duty.Charleen, I love your wild and wooly wisteria Too. Looks like it is very happy in it's spot. It was beautiful here, today too, but I wasn't able to work in the yard, at all.
Elizabeth, I would love to order some brug seeds, but our budget is pretty tight, for the next couple of weeks.
Dee
Dee, us old ladys have to wait til we get out checks. Too bad
we were all born Beautiful instead Rich ^_^
We are supposed to have rain until Thurs.
Got to get some bixes packed , so I'll have something to do. Going
to take DH to work so I can have car tomarrow. Then got to watch clock and go get him.
got plenty planned to do.
Charleen, I hate it when it rains day after day.As long as it rains often enough to keep me from watering, I'm happy..lol
How's DH's truck coming? I know you will be glad, when it's fixed!
I don't know if I will be able to mail you girls' boxes tomorrow or not. If I watch the grandkids, I won't be able to get to thePO to get flat rate boxes( I just realized that I don't have any), and I won't be home to pack anyway.If I had them already , I could pack stuff tonight and dh could mail in the morning, but I don't. There's a chance that my son in law will stay home tomorrow, and if he does, I will mail. I won't know til later tonight.
Did ya get some pics today, Elizabeth?
Dee
Yeah, it's rough being born beautiful, instead of rich, but somebody's gotta do it, right Charleen?..lol
Yes, and we carry it off very well indeed, Dee.
Truck is still sick be glad when he gets it fixed too.
got this little citrus tree, winter hardy for here. All these years
I've had it I thought it was a lemon tree-Wrong. this year it had
two tiny oranges on it. One fell off, I brought it in, a little
bit ago I cut it in half -Oh, my gosh at thePucker power
that little fellar give. It was the cutest little thing, but my first
fruit. Had seed in it too. Think I'll plant them, see what happens.
Dee
I have been draging that 6ft catcus in the house, & putting that huge Agave in the Attic, plus I got 3 more brugs today
got the garbage out, now I have to find enough pots, to pot up the Brugs I have allready dug, I went to lowes got 3 big bags of pooting soil, I will take Pic's tommorrow afternoon, of the house & Greenhouse, this is a busy time, getting the Brugs ready to go to their winter home
Charlene
it's easy to get fruit from seeds, I have a meyer improved lemon, that didn't even Bloom, I'll keep ittill next spring to see if it Blooms
Elizabeth
Oh girl, the plants y'all can grow down there! I bet that was a suprise, getting oranges on your lemon tree! lol
I just went over and read about the seed bank at BGI, and tried to log into it and it denied me access..Will have to figure out why.
Dee
Elizabeth, you were busy today! I went to see why I couldn't get into the seed bank, and it's because basic members don't have access, so you must be the next step up.I t sure is worth it just for that...maybe soon, I can up mine.
Dee
Dee
you will love it at BGI, when you become a full member, they are really the nicest people I have ever met, you can also get pollen, I have 5 vials, ready to use next spring, I think it's easier to pollinate than I thought, there is a lot you can learn
over there, this site is the best also, I have been a member for 1 year in november, now Friday I will be paid up for 2 years,the best money I have spent, there are a lot of advantages, the traveling seed box, the seed & pollen bank
& all the information you could ever want
Elizabeth
I'll try to do that soon. In the next two weeks, I want to get all my trades sent out..before it gets too cold...You know it's coming quickly!
I am just pooped tonight. I woke up at 3:45 and couldn't go back to sleep, which is not unusual for me, but when I do that, I usually grab an afternoon nap, and am good to go.But, today, I had the kids and couldn't get my nap.I just don't want to do a thing tonight..lol
Dee
Dee
I hope you can get some rest tonight, I have grandma duty, Thursday, I create jobs for my GK's so they can get some of the things they want to buy, I get so tickled at my oldest GD, she calls me, to tell me she would like a job, when she wants to buy something special, so I let her organize something in my house, so she's earning what she wants, she's 16 yrs old, her mother won't let me just give her money, she has to earn it, that's a good thing, she knows the meaning of a dollar
Elizabeth
I have been packing boxes, pkagages and still got two more.
I am finally moving around, more than laundry.
that little orange tree must have got the labels mixed up. The oranges
were about the size of a half dollar or smaller. Cute as can be.
Good to have kids learn the value of a dollar now adays, it
doesn't happen much.
Charlene
I just gave a friend a Hamblin Orange Tree, 2 years ago, my MIL, picked oranges off that tree in my basement, the last 2 years it did nothing, I think you have to have 2 of them to get them to produce fruit, I just didn;t have room for it anymore
Elizabeth
Yep, I think kids should have to earn money, when they want some things, especially big ticket items. If they don't, they are going to have a rude awakening, when they get out on their own. My youngest daughter's kids, the ones I babysit quite a bit, have a chore list and each chore earns so much, anywhere from 25 cents to a couple dollars usaully.They are 6-12 years old. they each have a check sheet in their room and check them off as they do them and collect at the end of the week..they are easy chores, like make bed, pick up clothes..etc.And I do think it's so cute when one of the little ones call and ask if I have anything they can do to earn extra money.
dee
Girls, I'm gonna get off here and hit the sack. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I'll let you know either way about shipping your boxes.
Night!
Dee
Good night Dee, get some rest, I'll be turning in soon myself, I have more digging tommorrow, Good night Charlene
sleep well
Elizabeth
Sorry, i couldn'r be here but been boxing up plants, right and left.
couple of girls, I forgot but got them now. i always feel bad when I do that.
Goodnight Dee.
Goonight Elizabeth, Have a restful sleep.
Charleen
Good news, I get to do what I love most today..stay home and work with plants! I'm still tired from yesterday, but am doing lots better..lol...Now , to start sorting y'all's goodies.... to fill your boxes, so I can get them packed up and mailed, as soon as the PO opens
Dee
