awwww they are adorable. I re-potted a bunch of stuff today, since the newer tip cuttings were rooted. I had to re-pot alot of stuff today. I also had to put plastic up over the pink bedroom window, it is missing the glass on the bottom, and the plants were getting cold.
The outside lower glass somehow is missing, this used to be Roses' room, she is long moved out, makes me wonder if she used to sneak out .. hmmm.. LOL
The inside glass is intact, thank goodness. anyway, today I made this ..
debra,that is real cool,what kind of shell is that?
retta
That is neat Debra. Is that a coconut?
It is beautiful, Debra. The g'kids are great kids.
Hey Dee is back Yippee, Dee I will just be taking photo's of the Christmas Trees, to show off the GD's work, they decorated them by theirselves, I didn't help at all
I just brought them down from the attic
Retta, great looking GK's
Debra, good looking coconut, I have one of those plants, it got huge with babies all over it
Charlene, good morning, is it cold down your way, 22 degrees here this morning with a wind chill that makes it 3 degrees, I really want too move too a warm zone
oh I am doing something nice for myself, on December 30th, I am getting the blown in foam insulation, so next month my heating bill will be cut by 1/3
Elizabeth
come on down Elizabeth and we can move on down to Florida. It sure is cold enough for me. don't like cold weather, at all.
Hey Dee, always great to see you and EVERYONE else.
Charleen
Elizabeth, I hope my little air plants all get big and have babies. Please show us yours. And your trees. DH says no tree until the 17th. College girl is going to throw a fit. I tried to tell him that traditionally we have always gotten a tree the tenth of the month or there abouts. 2 weeks. I gave up on the argument, decided College girl can finish the conversation when she comes home. She has always been the one to go with him, and decorate too.
That is a great gift to yourself, insulation. You will love it I am sure. The lower bills will be fantastic.
So cold here, Charleen, the birdbath is frozen.
Retta, I sure hope you are prepared to be addicted to brugs once you smell them.
Dee, we all miss you. I wish I could send you wireless or something. I used to have dial up, it was a pain.
Longears had to break ice to get to water. I had a milkjug of water ready for chicken.
I wish Retta could poke her nose in my little gh. the blooms are all gone but the smell is still there. Beautiful!!!!Yes, Debra, go to Tractor supply and get one of the bird water heaters.
oh charleen,i would love to poke my nose in your gh.i have never smelled a brug,and really looking forward to that.

Thanks Charlene & Retta
Kim, I have already registered, it's a great idea, that Liz came up with, I still have some Brug clippings, it's way too cold too send anything out right now
all this week it will be in the twenty's for the high temp, the Lows will be in the teens
Charlene, I bet your hair cut looks nice
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, it feels better, Don't know if I like it or not. I had her to cut it shorter, it was down on my shoulders and I was getting so tired of it. I like the back. My hair is as straight as a string. Here is a picture of me. i took it awhile ago. I'm my own worst critic. overlook the wrinkles....☺
Mornin' everyone!
Debrah, you planter is so cute.Looks like a baby octopus, all snuggled in his cradle.Your begonias are looking very happy also.
Elizabeth, your trees are beautiful.Makes me want to get mine up.Gonna do it this week-end.
Look! It's Charlie the reinmule.How cute, Charleen!
Dee
I really like your haircut, Charleen. It will be soo easy to take care of. I need to get mine cut too...and color it before Christmas.Don't know where all these silver threads on top my head came from....well, yeah, I do. I earned everyone of 'em..lol My hair is straight as a poker too.
Dee
Thank you, Dee. i sure don't "DO" anything with mine either. Just leave those silver threads like a badge o honor. Earned everyone of them ☺ Bet you all been having cold weather, I know it is cold down here. had ice in birdbath. Upplugged couple and replaced the empty sockets with heaters for water. Knocked a hole in the ice and heater is in place. Too cold when water freezes.
Hugs to all,
Charleen
Charlene, I like your hair cut, my hair is straight as a poker also, I have been wanting too get mine cut, but haven't decided what I want yet, DH doesn't like short hair
if he had too work with it, I know he would change his mind
Dee, it's so good having you back, are you in the deep freeze there? we sure are here, 12 degrees tommorrow morning, it's early this year, that's usually in January, I can't wait till they get the foam insulation in
Elizabeth
O.K. this is my Clivia Blooming, I thought it would never open, when I went down too the Basement too check on it here it was Blooming, this was with the flash
Elizabeth
This one was without the Flash
Elizabeth
That Clivia is gorgeous. What a treat!
I love your haircut Charleen. It is nice to see you and Charlie.
I wish I could cut mine, but last time I did, DH didn't smile at me as much. LOL I just coloured my halo of silver friday and spent the weekend in bed sick. Ugh.
Good to see you Dee, it is always good to see my good friends here.
Look at Kaitlyn's pods. I am Not cutting on her while she is "with pods" I have no clue how long it takes for them to ripen. This is a first for me. Edited to put Kaitlyns name in as I have Flamenco right beside me and it isn't with pods.

charleen your hair looks great,mine is whiter and shorter.for years my hair was way down my back,and i just up and had it cut real short.now somedays i don't know if i comb it or not.lol but i will be 70 in may and i'll be darn if i'm having all that long hair to care of,the last part of my life.
elizabeth,that clivia is beautiful,i really don't know what it is,it looks a little like a gardenia.i bet it smells good to.
debra those pods look real great.
u lucky ladies with your beautiful plants and flowers this time of year.
well i'm going to see if i can get back to sleep,moose woke me up,darn cat.lol gotta luv em.
Girls, It is a lot easier to take care of being shorter, I like my hair short. Not so many headaches either. Cause I had it in ponytail I guess it gave me headaches.
Brrrrr!! Cold here and partly cloudy but still a pretty day.
Elizabeth, the Clivia is so pretty.
Charleen
Debra
I am sorry you've been sick, I think it can take months for the pod too ripen, I have yet too seed a seedpod, Congratulations, lots of Brug Babies next season Yippee
I am glad you like my Clivia
Retta, they aren't Fragrant, I have 2 more, they are Orange, I am waiting for them too Bloom, every year they have a Beautiful Clivia show in Africa, Hundreds of them Blooming, in California they leave them in the Ground, the one thing I have learned about them, they have too be rootbound too Bloom, I hope you got back too sleep
Cats are lovable aren't they
Elizabeth
Charlene
Good morning, it's Cold here 12 degrees this morning, I am so glad that, I got my what I needed yesterday, so I don't have too go out in it, I am glad you like my Clivia
now if there was just a way too get Fragrance, it is a pretty day, the sun is just coming out
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, I cut bangs this morning, My hair keep falling in my face and I can't stand that, so i chopped it off. Feels little better. It is natural. No curls, no color just me.
Brrr, you all have it cold. Our temp is 27. just got into low 40's yesterday. I'm ready for spring.
bah! Humbug! to winter. ☺
Charlene
just think if you lived near me, you could get a free haircut, I have been a Hair dresser since 1982, your temps are sure better than mine, Friday it is suppose to be 39
degrees for the high temp, I totally agree with you bah humbug to winter, on the 30th of December, they will be here too do the insulation Yippee, I am so ready for a warm house, would you believe the city is pouring cement at this temp. they got our sidewalk done, before it turned cold, looks so much better
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, they use a hardener in there to make it harden. got all kinds of things now to make things work. I'd let you too Elizabeth. I bet it would look better than what this girl did. It's o.k. Just got to keep telling "me" to get used to straight hair.
wild isn't it????? 64 and can't do anything with my own hair.
It still feels cold. Brrrr!!!!
Charleen
Charlene
you're just too cute, the things about cutting hair is if you know the basic hair cut you can do all any hair cut, the sun is out & so warm, I have my curtain open, just too feel the sun, the thing with the cement is they do have additives, I think it's job security, if you got too see my yongest GS's hair you would love it, it's curly,with his Blue
eyes, he's something else
Elizabeth
I know he is beautiful Blue eyes, I love too. He sounds like an angel Elizabeth.
Charleen

Retta, I will have too write that down, sounds yummy, your temps sure are better than mine, but tommorrow we have a warm up also, either 37 or 39, then they are calling for snow, over the week end
