I think it takes about 2 yrs, from seed too Bloom, if you don't catch the seed in time. it drops to the soil, & you've got a baby in with the mother plant, it has been snowing all day, i hope it quits soon
Elizabeth
Angels Exotic Blooming a triple
Dee they said we had an additional 5"
My son called to say he would not be able to make it over today to dig me out, digging himself out *LOL*
That's not that bad, I guess..but it still takes a lot of patience..lol..How neat, that they will drop and re-seed.I love re-seeders.How much snow do you have so far Elizabeth.....too much I bet..lol
Dee
Doris as long as you are safe and warm, and are stocked up...bet he will get there tomorrow.Sounds like you have a wonderful son.
Dee
Dee & Doris
we have 7 or more inches right now, it's still coming down, Doris stay safe & warm, I hope your son gets his done so he can come over & help you, years ago there were a lot of kids that would shovel for money, not anymore, we have lived here 5yrs now, & not one kid that will mow lawns or shovel snow, they just don't do it anymore
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, you got that right! When we were kids, we used to make our spending money like that..That was just the other day, wasn't it?...lol
Dee
Dee
seems like it. I didn't do much shoveling this year, last year I did a lot, I did enough then, if anyone wants it done, they can do it, if this keeps up I see a snow blower in my future, my DD is sooo surprized that I haven't got one already,
I want too see 70 degree day, hey where's Charlene, I wonder if she got snow today
Elizabeth
You do need a snow blower, Elizabeth!! Our son in law usually brings his snow blower over and blows off the back patio..to the door and the front walk from the door to the van. If he doesn't get over, we do the front path, but it is short.
Last I heard Charleen had rain.That was this morning.
I am gonna get off of here, and rustle up some supper. Talk to you later this evening, if you are on.
Dee
But the rain went away and so is the snow, gone. I Burned my supper, while on here. Got to quit Multi-tasking like that ☺
Not too good. Had Boiled eggs but they were perfect. burned the beef, make good dog-food now!!! Poor Robert....☻
Charleen but he doesn't looked like he has missed many meals.....
Charlene
Hi good to see you, it could be worse, you could be here, where the snow has been coming down steady all day, where
I shoveled the other day, it's all covered again, I lucked out today my DH, fixed fish with onions, sweet peppers, green& Red, & stuffed mushrooms, I think I'll keep him
Elizabeth
All right. Think i will mine too. He didn't even fuss. Just told me I might have to take cooking lessons.....he's so funny.
I'll be safe tomarrow. I'll cook it in the crock pot. How about that???
Charleen
Charlene
sounds great, I can't believe between my DD & her dad, I haven't had too cook for 3 days, that's a record for me, I love the crock pot, & even better, I got a deep fryer, that has a big basket & 2 small ones, my DH loves it, so now I get to play on the puter, then I go in the kitchen do the dishes, so buying that fryer was a good thing
Elizabeth
Girls, I love my kitchen gadgets.. crockpot, griddle, electric skillet, deepfryer, etc.They all come in so handy.But, I raelly need to break down and get a new crockpot. I have used mine to death.Aren't they nice to have in the summer, when ya want to spend the day outside?
Dee
Dee
they are great for the summer, & don't heat up the kitchen, when the air conditioner is on, make you meal, just leave it
they had on the new awhile ago, the we were 19. some inches over what we normally get all winter, I bet it's the same way at your house
Elizabeth
Yes, they had it on here, too.We are over average too, but I can't remember by how much. I been cleaning out one of the closets..One in one of the spare bedrooms...It is not a pretty site..lol
Dee
Dee
it never is, when I start on the attic, it's not going too be pretty either, it's funny when you start cleaning, you always see sooo much more that needs to be done, I have been getting rid of all the clothes, I haven't worn for awhile, I have more room in my closest, but there is a lot more to go, I would love to have those organizer's, wire racks
Elizabeth
Dee
there was a winner of Edna's contest for those seeds, I didn't know if you checked it out today, lucky girl, those are some nice Brug seeds
Elizabeth
I would love to have them too, Elizabeth. They a make a closet look so neat and clean.I am going thru clothes also. I just have too many, and I usually wear the same things over and over..lol. Some I haven't worn in ages.Did your snow stop Elizabeth. I think ours finally has. I saw where Seymour got 7 inches this time around.
Dee
No, I haven't been there today, but I will go check it out in a few minutes. Yes, they were nice! Lucky girl, is right.
Dee
Dee
nope, it's still going strong, it's blowing, the plow's just went by, there's no school tommorrow, my niece lives a street
over from me, she's ready to run away from home, she has 3 boys, they've been out of school biggest part of last week today & tommorrow, it has snowed all day, I can't imagine what the total will be if this keeps up, my poor DH, got over to his mom's earlier & couldn't pull up in her drive, he had to shovel in order to do that, all the snow he had just done the other day, was right back
Elizabeth
I bet your niece is ready to run away from home..lol..3 boys, oh my!
I hope it lets up soon for you.That would be awful to have to shovel, before you could even pull in.My daughter in southern IN is getting it about like you all.Hope we are done!
Dee
Dee
some color for you, Spring bulbs & Amaryllis, this is Blooming on my kitchen table
This is Apple Blossom Amaryllis, I love color in the house, when I can't have it outside
Elizabeth
Thank you Elizabeth.Those are soooo pretty! Especially the Amaryllis!...Love the color of that one.
To look at those, you would think it's summer.Beautiful..
Dee
And guess what. It is snowing again. I don't know what's with all this starting and stopping..Wish I was just a bear, sleeping til Spring..lol
Dee

you & me both, or we could go with my niece, when she runs away to callif, I thought it had stopped here, then I looked out the other window, the flakes are smaller, but it's still coming down, I have anothe Pic to show you how big the leaves are on a Brug, in the kitchen window, it's sooo good to have a nice window in there
Elizabeth
That is one happy brug..looks so healthy! What is the other plant..a citrus of some sort?
Thats what it is doing here..smaller flakes...hmm...maybe it really didn't stop here either...just wishful thinking!
Dee
Dee
that's a ficus, it was a bonsia, till it starting growing & growing, I have had it for a couple years now, I have a bunch of plants as well as all these Brugs, wait till I show you Pic's of my 6ft catcus, I just wish the Blooms had a fragrance, I have had it for 4 yrs now, it's grown a foot since I have had it
Elizabeth
Dee
this is what my huge catcus, looks like in Bloom, if it only smelled like the Brugs, this is why I lug it in & out
Elizabeth
Elizabeth is that bloom as big as it looks.It's hard to believe that a cactus would have a beautiful bloom, like that, isn't it...but, I know some do.!
That bloom looks like it should be fragrant, doesn't it? I can't imagine haulin' that bugger in and out..lol
Dee
Dee
sorry that Pic is fuzzy, the Bloom is bigger than that it's not quiet open, I was so excited it was going too Bloom I just got the camera & snapped, if it were only fragrant, at the end of summer it had 13 Blooms on it at one time, they only last for one day, I had a beautiful one that Bloomed lilac color, my DH over watered it, well now he leaves that too me
he was sooo disappointed he loved that one
Elizabeth
I know that was beautiful with 13 blooms on it. I bet your DH was upset when your lilac one died. Was it big too? I am not good with succulents of any kind.I always tend to water too much. Elizabeth, I am going to get off of here and hit the sack.Talk to you tomorrow evening, I hope. Good Night.
Dee
These daffodils growing up thru the Lantana I have cut back.
Charleen
Charleen, a sure sign of Spring!!!Love it.
Dee
We need all the encouragment we can get. Your snow will melt. Then you will have daffodils too. It is so pretty and it is cold. Have wind blowing and that makes it feel colder. Brrrrrr...
Charleen
yeah, I know....someday...lol
Dee
This is my plant room with some of my Brugs brought up. see the SNOW outside

Good afternoon Charlene, Dee, Doris
Doris, I really like your plant room, it's so bright, I do see the snow outside, ours finally quit
Charlene, that is a sign of spring, Thank you for the encouragement, it is really cold today it will take a month
for it to melt, but hey it's not doing that today
Elizabeth
