New bees chit chat - come on in!! 04/30/2010

Nettie here is a chill pill for you

OH NETTIE, what an honor!
Mitt, you was holding out on me. You gotta sell me that one. I want it. Right now in bloom. I'm coming to get it, where is my ENID?

Ain't heard from her in a day or two. goin ta have to send out the Mounted Police after her. Hope the horse don't get too hot tracking her down.

Where is my Blondie,my partner in crime? She would climb a 30 ft tree to get me an orchid, I bet she would go wit me to grab an Iris on the ground.
Hey Mitt, you going on vacation any time soon? HHhmmmmm?????

Where is blondie? Haven't heard from her or cue lately... I know cue is fine as I see her on Facebook all the time - lol...

I talked to Blondie a couple days ago and she was gonna e-mail me yesterday but never heard from her. She has been working and keeping busy she said.

Glad she's doing well... Tell her I said hi!

Will do.
Did your little plants not get there today? I was hoping they would.

Oh now girls - never fear, I am right here. Of course I had to laugh at the mental image of you two out sniffing blooms in your football helments. Actually, my image was more of one of you bent over with the other stuck in your butt - next person to come along sniffing, stuck in the next butt. I have a very long line of women bent over ...well, I think you get the picture. That would make a great cartoon! LOL

So, what are we stealing now Mekos? Irises from Mitt?? I'm in!! I have lots and lots of black - and we could paint or faces and hands, wear dark glasses - they would never see us coming. However, there can be no drinking of the Mojitos before we go - I refuse to go to jail because we were laughing while stealing irises!!! Iris stealing is serious business and must be done in silence.

You guys stay out of trouble, I have to go feed the baby - he is into the dog food again - guess I should supplement with a little human food.

Mitt one of these days I'm going to have lots of iris blooming like you do. Mine are showing up one or two at a time still have about half of my bed to go yet. Shared some of yours with my sister on condition I get them back from her when they are big enough to divide. She fell in love with the Rides the Wind one and since she's had alot of health issues the last few years I was nice and let her have it and a few more.

Soon as the sun drops down a little more so it's not so bright outside I'll take pictures of the newest ones. I think one of them may be the one my mom bought me a long long time ago that I moved out here last year.

Well I'm off to check on Cue and my family at FB then off for the night.

Hey!!! Lori, let me know when you get your pkg. Where you been. Mekos and me out here plotting to take a trip to view (hehehe) Mitt's iris farm. Wanna go chaperone and keep us out of trouble. He sure got some pretty ones.

LORI, You aint suppose to be telling out loud what we are plotting! Jest git the black clothes and meet me in the middle. We'll wait for dark thirty!

Mekos, my friend - the package arrived today! Thank you soooooooo much! The ornament is so cute. I'll try and get a pic of it later and maybe the plants too since I have no clue what some of them are - lol. Got em still wrapped in a little water. They looked good after their trip. I'll separate them later and see if I can figure out what they are - lol.

I can't believe this. I'm outside working in the garden and you girls are planning on riding the mule with the saddlebags to do some plantnappin.
I don't know what kind of mileage the mule gets on all those mojos but let me warn all the iris grabbin girls. If ya come any closer, I'll cut all the flowers off so they'll all look the same.-

Mitt, I'll help defend you iris and it won't cost you any money. Couse, now if you want to pay me in iris. I wouldn't turn it down.!!

And if I don't agree Marti are you planning on joining the 20 mule team that's heading north as we speak?

Oh no Mitt - you can't chop their heads off! That is cruel and unusual punishment! How are we supposed to know what we are nabbin' if you cut their heads off?

Help me girls - he planning a counter attack!!

You'll think 20 mule team when we get there! I bet we make enough rucus you will swear we are an army of mules and iris nabbers.

Ok RRM, Mekos - Mindy has jumped ship and joined the other side - where is Seray when we need her? Seray, Arejay - where are you guys? Sounds like we are gonna need some help!

Now Mitt I'm not in that mule train LOL I'm quite happy to wait until I get the chance to get more later. Not ready to dig up more ground to expand that bed right now.

Here's a picture of the one I think my mom bought me a long time ago. Of course it's cozying up to the Orange Popsicle one LOL

Enid I'm smart enough not to bother Mitt's iris. He might feel generous someday and gift me with some more. LOL
Just kidding Mitt

Here's another beauty blooming in my iris bed

And one last one

I don't have any beef with the mule. Actually, the mule is a dead ringer for an old girlfriend. Right down to those big brown eyes

Mindy, Seray, and Arejay are on my side. Best you turn the team around and head back to Oklahoma

LOOK at MINDY SUCK UP! She wants my Iris, I know what she is doing!
Enid, I got about 15 snowballs with RRM name on em in the freezer, but I can wipe off the names and put someone elses name on them. Skellogg got snow right now so we can count on her for more. Arejay had bunches of snow but mat have melted by now. I know Blondie will help us out. I'll copy that picture so we will know which is which even without blooms. No fretting about that. We can just count the plants. I'll bring the mojitos to bribe the cops if they show up.

Seray and RRM is with us, they just pretending with him.
Hey them iris keepers got to go to work sometimes, and sleep.


You know Charlie will follow me anywhere for cookies and mojitos.

Gosh Mitt Mekos is so wrought up she's not even commenting on mine. Hmmm does that mean she only likes yours?

Don't make me call Loca and Cue you snowball throwing plantnappers.

I'll crank the riding mower up if you get any closer

No! I'm just going to come sit outside your house and cry big crocodile tears til you let me have just one. :)) ha!ha!

You may have to get Huneybunch along the way.

I'll have to see if Al can fly over and drop some bogus "Sale Flyers" to one of the big discount store. That should turn those snowball throwing plantknapper around.

LOL - you all crack me up! I don't know girls - Mit sent me some nice Irises and I'd really hate to be on his bad side. You get more bees with honey you know...

Forgot Mindy to post about yours. Geesh! Those are just beautiful but I don't want to snitch yours, Mitt will never miss his. He has got bunches. The smell alone would be intoxicating with that many. I'm trying to save him from the smell. I'm doing it for him besides if we dont get em someone else might be tempted to steal em, and then they would go to jail so we are just taking away the temptation. Just that one. That is all I want.( We'll sneak back later for the rest. )

See Another suck up.
And just got a box of stuff from me today.
How soon they forget you.
And Mindy - I just sent 2 dozen eggs to her.

Sorry friend! Hey, I was on your side for the snowball fights - lol...

Darn gone it!!! Been listening to thunder far off for about the last hour. Now its raining here and thunder is right overhead. Dogs have decided that lying on the porch is out of the question now. Cats ran in the house! Guess thats all for them for the night.

I'm sorry Mitt! I just had a lapse in judgement. Lucy made me do it! That Iris was just too much for me to resist. I'm sorry, no stealing irises for me. I can't get Charlie in trouble. Snowballs are back in the freezer waiting for the roundup in Ga. (hanging my head in shame) Snif snif I'll be good, I promise. Show more pictures Mitt. Please.

No, she wo't Mitt. she will sneak in one of thos frozen snowballs and knock me out. That durn mule will be standin there nodding his head yes, Cause she's already sauced him up with her Mojitoes and Sammwiches. He has a terrible weakness for Mekos. Even when his Momma is involved.

Jeeze! I guess I have been abandoned - Mitt - look out, I am pretty sneaky. Been in Oklahoma a long time, learned from the indians how to sneak through the woods and scalp irises.

I am really disappointed in the rest of you - you get me started on an iris stealing mission and just dump me. Here is have shared my beautiful NOID plain ole peach iris with you and everything. Guess I will just go outside and dig a hole.

I think we should all just go help Mitt divide them. One for Mitt, two for us, One for Mitt, three for us. Charley could help us dig and we could give Mitt the mojitos. Before long all the work in the sun he did last year for us would be repaid and everyone would be happy, especially mojito man Mitt!

What say ye?

YEA!!! I totally agree on the division method. Sounds good to me.(big smile)

Ok Seray - I'm in! Three for us, one for Mitt - sounds really good to me. Give him booze in the hot sun, that should keep him happy while we "thin" his irises!!
