retta
;( dee,i lost jessie noel and apricot moon flower,so sad.
retta
got a bunch of stuff planted in my front yard bed today. And some lillies that I needed to do. I need to scatter some wildflower seeds in the midst of the planted stuff for some color and for the hummers and b'flies. Got about 1/2 of my brugs potted up. I have to get some more pots. Moved a few things from inside outside. Tired. About ready to turn in as soon as I read my threads.
I had to move some iris to outside my fence. Seems they are a real cool place to wallow each other when you are playing. The larger dog is Dufess and the smaller one is Kaluha...
cute! I wish I could play with them..

Those blooms are all beautiful.
Are those the old fashion iris? I love iris...
charleen,i don't know if they are old fashion or not.
if you want one ,i'll dig after blooming and send you one.want to trade?
i love the iris as well.
well let me know and we'll see what we come up with.
debra,thank you.i'm trying .lol
retta

thank you any way
retta
I'll try it again. Durn..
oh char, that is a beautiful one!
Thank you , I have no idea as to name but it is a beaut.
These are Japanese Iris,also called Beardless iris. I'm testing them. Aren't they beautiful? That blue one just opened this morning.
They are really different looking, aren't they? Kinda hard to get use to. lol I love the color of the blue one. I've seen TB in that beautiful blue color I would love to have. Maybe I'll find one soon.
gorgeous!
Thank you, I have a yellow one in buds now too. Won't be too much longer I don't think....
just wanted to check in and see how everyone is,and so you all will know that i,m ok as well.
debra,i don't understand,i sent you an e-mail and it came back.
i really loved what you sent me,that came in time and in need.
i hope you recieved it back.
also ,would you all pray for my sister.shes in the hospital,had her left leg,amputated just below the knee.
due to diabetes.
hugs to all
retta
prayers for you, dear retta and your sister... *hugs*
thank you debra,went to see her yest.and she is doing fine,as well as can be expected.
being a diabetic is awful,we have to watch everything we eat,take meds.i was on insulin along with the pills but i did such a good job of it,that i no longer have to use the insulin.really have to watch the carbs.and i dislike fish so much but have to eat it 3 times a week.yuk.and we have to see a foot doc,to help us take care of our feet.keeping them dry and wear good shoes,that i can't stand to have on my feet.they bother me so much.i already have diabetic nueropothy.if thats how its spelled.oh well,thats part of it.
the brugs are growing nicely.going to have more iris coming to bloom along with the peonys.
please keep the prayers coming,my sis is (vivian)81 and i just turned 70.
happy days ahead.
hugs
retta
Prayers going up for both of you dear retta
I can't wait to seee your face when you get a brug bloom, retta. Happy belated birthday!
oh thank you debra and crit,the prayers mean a lot to me and viv.
charleen,i took the brugs you sent,and cut off all the bad rotted parts,i have 2 of then in soil,and one is showing signs of new growth,the other one no sign of growth as yet.i put 2 in water,and change that every day,they are in my kitchen window.i'm not getting my hopes up,but at least i'm trying.i don't know the names as i through all tags away but one,cause i thought they were lost causes.but i'm trying.
retta

to take some photo's, looks like I am having a bumper crop of roses, the other house's lawn has to be mowed every 7 days
plus it has so much work that has to be done, I will get your clippings out this coming Tuesday, I just want to make sure they are healthy, I also have you a night Blooming cerus, they are so easy to grow, but they have to be 3yrs old to Bloom
they do grow fast, here are some photo's, it has been so dreary & raining here
