He is a sweet boy, that is dog, Charley (the mule) keeps saving from the donkey.
the silly pup likes to go in the pen, Oh, Elizabeth the Cactus blooms are very
restful. Love the pic.
Double daydreams Blooming in the basement
Charlene
Thanks, that is the catcus that gets confused, it's suppose to bloom at Christmas, I hope the blooms hold for awhile
Elizabeth
all those blooms are beautiful.So bright! Charleen my first greenhouse was a hoop house, that we found the plans for on-line. cost us a little more than $100, to build and it stood until my son in law tore it down, this past summer.Lasted close to 10 years, and was still in fine shape.
OOOOH..you will have to let us know what brugs that guy has!!!
Dee
Dee, where you been?? Elizabeth and I been chatting off and on all day. You know I will. I asked the lady about the Varigated leaves and she told me her husband had some, so cross your fingers he may have the one we want. O.K.? Just give me the names and I'll ask. then if the Prices aren't bad. I'll send them you you. She said they were named. Ain;t that great?? I love it.
Charleen
Any doubles/triples, and varigated except... what was the one that bit the dust on Elizabeth...snowbank?Is there any way you can find out how much they are, before you make the trip? I will pay for any that you get for me , plus postage.I can send you the money ahead of time, if I know how much. I am at my daughters and its time for the kids to get in from school...talk to you girls later...Dee
I'll find out for you, Dee.
We will get our flowers.
Charleen
Charlene
I stepped outside for a little while while the sun is shinning, I checked the GH, I found a Brug in there I didn't know I had
I was looking for it at some Brug site's, well I have it, it should bloom orange next spring
Elizabeth
That's great. Don't you love Surprizes??
Something to look forward too.
You know I got my cuttings in a bucket of water.. It
is a Galv. bucket, so far they don't feel mushy, they make make roots.
Wouldn't that be great, to not rot??
Charleen
Charlene
that would be great, to have roots & not rot, if the water starts smelling bad, change it, mine the water has to be changed every other day, I have some small ones in water, the rest are in peatmoss
Elizabeth
All the ones you gave me is in peat.
It does stay moist a long time doesn't it?
The one I got from my NOID is the one in the Galv. bucket. Seemed like I read somewhere else where someone had brugs in a galv.
bucket and they rooted. thought I would give it a try.
Charleen
Charlene
I think I read the same thing about the galv. bucket, but hey if you don't try it you'll never know, I left some Brugs outside just to see how long they can stay out, I took clippings, but they're staying out, I still have bell pepers, they're small but they're still growing, beside my garage
Elizabeth
I have a bellpepper still doing it's growing
out in the pot. It is still blooming too.
Charleen
Charlene
I hope we get to pick our peppers at Thansgiving, plus have Blooming Brugs
Elizabeth
That would be great. Thanksgiving is not far off. DH already planning on having turkey for him and the dogs.
They get no bones, just meat. they are spoiled rotten.
Charleen
Charlene
I have to cook, my house is the gathering place, some like ham some like turkey, so I cook both, ham & turkey with all the trimmings, it's for my 2 DD's their children, 1 husband & my DH & his momma, so I usually have a full house, I like to get all the dishes done, put away, then I get some rest, then out shopping at 3am, then I get to sleep late, the day after, yes the dogs are spoiled but they will outgrow it
Elizabeth
Not if my DH has anything to do with it>
How is September? She ought to love Turkey and
Ham.
Charleen
Charlene
I give her dry cat food, she might get a little bit of the dinner, I don't want to start her with table food, she'd get spoiled
like she isn't allready, she's a young cat, she was teething on my fingers the other day, she wasn't biting hard enough too hurt me, but she's still young, she still tries to be everywhere I am
Elizabeth
Hi Ladies...I'm finally home.My son in law was late getting home, and it always takes my daughter an hour to get home. She works in Indianapolis, and gets off till 5:00.
Dee
I know you love her. Yes, once you start to feed them, they won't eat their food.
It is bad and makes them over weight.
Charleen
Hey, Dee.
We still gabbing.
Charleen
I see...talking about them spoiled furbabies...I know, ours are too..
Dee
I may have to make a phone call before I go to bed to the fella
with the Brugs. Want to give him a chance.
Charleen
Yeah, Charleen...you better do that and let us know what he says...lol
Man, you girls are really going to town on those goth(and un-goth) gardens!
Dee

Charleen
Charlene

Elizabeth
You haven't seen that man in Hampton
throw my pkg. in box. The bone head.
Dee, the man called. For cuttings he wants $6.00 for singles

Charleen

Charleen
Good morning Charleen.It's suposed to be a beautiful day here, today and I don't have to go anywhere, so I am going to enjoy it, and work in the yard.Gotta mow leaves...for the last time, I hope! And I have a new tree to plant..
Dee
A new tree means "more leaves"
What kind is it?? It is pretty here too.
Don't know what I'm going to do, got
some rocks in my wagon, think I am going to set up more
rocks around my flower beds.
