New bees Seed Junkie chit chat Come in!! 11-12-09

I got my package from Santa Al today too. Thank You so much Al.
Isn't he a wonderful Guy? Most men wouldn't even think about doing something like that. I love the rememberance of Christmases past too Al.

Hey cue , Good to see you back. Missed you.

Happy Birthday locakelly...

Oh I forgot I want to tell you all what I did this evening that I haven't done since I was a kid at home LOL. They had a Christmas in the Village at Spring Mill Park and I strung popcorn and cranberries for a garland for one of the Christmas Trees there. It was lots of fun stringing them by candle light. Couldn't hardly see what I was doing LOL

I can't believe I forgot to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOCA.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to LOCA,
Happy Birthday to you And many more.

Thanks huney and mekos... Flower beat you all to it this morning - she's really on the ball!!

Flower - that sounds like so much fun!

Doing anything special today? Is hubby taking you out to dinner?
Sorry it was late, no excuse, I just forgot to look today at the list.

Nothing special today - lol. Had to work all day and I have a really early morning tomorrow so gonna hit the sack soon. Boring, I know...

I volunteer at a food co-op every other Saturday. It's gonna be a cold one in the morning.

We'll do dinner tomorrow night and my SIL is gonna watch our little guys...

Crack me up - did you all see the DG Random article today?

In honor of our friend mekos and her quest for a snowman...

Have fun Kelly , you deserve it.

Thanks flower!

Oh my Goodness shame on me!! Kelly Happy birthday!!

Hi arejay.

Hey hey hey, I liked that.

lol - thanks Robin! Nice of you to stop by...

Hi Flower,
What did you do for your birthday Kelly?

Happy BELATED Birthday to my 'Angelic Twin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm the EVIL one, I'm expected to forget...ROTFLMAO

Heya, just peeking in, catching up a bit...

I've got a bunch of tomato seeds I need to get packed up for you... calling it "Carnival Mix"... saved the seeds when I made a huge batch of bruschetta from all my favorites. Might not get them packaged until after the holidays; you know how that goes, LOL.

And yes, I fermented them. I would not save seeds without fermentation except maybe for personal use. Fermentation helps with germination, but, more importantly (especially with seeds I trade or share), fermentation kills pathogens. I don't want my unfermented seeds to kill half of somebody's tomato seedlings because they were harboring wilt!

This is always such a fun thread!

:-)

Happy belated Birthday Kelly
May you enjoy lots more so we can continue to love you
May this next year of your life be filled to the brim with love and laughter
and plants too
Happy Birthday Kelly

HI everyone it's a white world out my kitchen window this moring. Yep, we got the snow last night and it was still snowing a bit when I let the chickens out. Ground is white and the bushes and trees have a frosting of snow. Looks to be about 2 inches worth. The dogs had a ball running in it this morning.

Its cold here this morning. I hope that snow stays out that way for now....Thank You Critter !! Come and visit more often some of us have been here so long I dont think we are even Newbees anymore!!

Well gals the snow missed us but I guess Mindy got it tho. I don't like wishing anything on anybody but I am glad it stayed down there, LOL. Has anybody heard if Texas got any? Last night on the late news they were talking about how everybody was getting weird about getting snow. Not knowing what to do as it was unusual for them.

I heard Houston got snow and it shut the airports down...

Flower you may wish snow on me all you want LOL I don't mind a bit. Sun's out now and melting it off. I missed taking pictures thanks to DH deciding he had to have me go to town with him then to my sister's house to finish trimming a tree for them. I made sure he didn't get stay any longer than necessary though much to BIL's disgust. I am on a tight schedule with my crochet and not letting anyone waste my time any more than I can help. I'm on lunch break now so I get to waste my own time LOL.

Yes, lots of places in texas got snow this week. Some got lots of it that doesn't usually get snow. I was talking to some that was showing pictures of roses and they were covered with snow. I guess Mindy got my snow. We missed it.

we just don't need any snow. HUH?
I was born in Mo. I have had snow up to my Rump. I don't miss it at all.
But it is nice around Christmas, just briefly.
But I love hearing you all toss it back and forth..
RRM

When I get snow, I'm going to bring a snow ball and toss it to you RRM. Me and Charlie want snow.

I was born and raised in Maine as some of you all know, northern Maine - lots and lots of snow...

It got close to 30° here last night at my place, freezing in some parts of the city - brrrrr... I covered the 'maters but they don't look too happy this am. They have some frost damage on the tips of the upper branches, but I think they might survive. Supposed to be chance of rain most of next week - I sure hope so.

Look at this Mekos.
Gotcha a pic of your Boyfriend.
Now those ears are down and
his Antlers are up there. How do you like
your boyfriend now? Isn't he Beautiful??
RRM

Nun's orchids are grown in the ground in my area of florida

Now see, Charlie is telling you he wants snow. Look at them purdy eyes and that georgeous face. Is that the face of an angel snow mule or not?!?

Those are prety, mittsy.
Too cold up here.
RRM

Mittsy, Wish I lived in Florida where I could garden all year round. You are very lucky to have such a great place to grow beautiful plants. Those orchids are beautiful. I have wanted some since I first saw some and I traded for one in my first trades but didn't recognize it as an orchid so went all this time thinking mine was dead until now. Can't wait for blooms. Maybe next year.

HI Everyone Santa Al arrived today and I'm spolit already and it's not Christmas yet. (Least I hope it's not or I'm in trouble) Thanky Al I loved it all.
The dogs are trying to con hubby out of turkey jerky his little Smokey is using every doggy trick he knows including walking on his back legs for about a minute.
Our poor mailman was either late to work this morning or had lots of mail to deliver he was about 2 hours late today.

He may have got snow too, Mindy
El Paso and Houston that normally get little to no snow, got SNOW. Big time snow. Doc on the diet thread got snow.
Anyone heard from Mechelle lately?

Well Mekos since he's local guy I imagine he got snow too LOL but the roads were clear. We got 2 inches though the radio announcer claims we only got 1/2 inch.
Last Mechelle posted she was going to listen to her daughter sing and was supposed to tape it for us this time but that's the last she popped in

I didn't see her on the diet thread today, was just wondering if she was ok.
The mailman may have been throwing snow balls at some of his customers. LOL

Anyone still have winter veggies? How about you Loca? Did your tomatoes make it through the frost.

Here's my Tuscan Kale. It likes the cool weather. This is the best tasting stuff. I'll try to let some seed out if it will so you can try some. Taste like spinach and kale mixed.

I got tomatoes in the greenhouse. Got blooms on one right now but got the last tomatoe off a couple weeks ago. Black Krim. Sure was good too and big. I saved some seeds of it too.

Happy Birthday Mittsy. Hope you have a great day.

Thanks
