Happy Birthday Pirl!! Best wishes for a wonderful Lady on her special day!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Pirl!

Thank you, Allison, Celeste and WC.

We celebrated my granddaughter's 20th birthday yesterday and we will celebrate my 70th today. We went to dinner and saw the play, Spamalot. It was great fun.

Tonight my daugher and her husband will be taking us out to dinner and then it will be more celebration and more of her wonderfully unique cupcakes at their home.

Happy Birthday, Arlene! And happy 20th to your granddaughter. Enjoy your day and weekend!

Thanks, Victor! That's another beautiful photo.

Megan decided to save my daughter the cost of college for a year and doubled up on all of her courses so she's a senior now and will graduate in May. What a great kid she is!

Wow - congrats to her!

Wishes for a wonderful birthday, Pirl, to you and your lovely granddaughter!

Yes, Victor. She is very special.

Thanks, Marilyn. What a beauty that rose is.

Happy, happy birthday, dear Pirlie.

This is Clematis Vienetta, one of my Christmas gifts from a certain sensational New York blonde:

What a delightful surprise to have my dear friend, Zuzu, posting to wish me a happy birthday. Thank you, so much, Zuzu.

I love that Vienetta. Mine is sound asleep in the compost pile.

very pretty Zuzu.. nice to see you!

Happy birthday Pirl! Hope you are having a wonderful day. Eleanor

Happy happy birthday to my favorite blonde !
My cats started celebrating your birthday yesterday and are all partied out now. We had a blast, hope you did, too !

Happy Birthday to you!! I hope it has been a great day! You deserve it!

Happy Birthday Pirl Here is a Port Meirion Rose from my garden for you.JOY

Hope you had a great day!!!

Thanks, Eleanor, JD, Christina, Joy and Jen.

All the flowers are beautiful and that does look like the Portmeirion rose, Joy!

Beautiful hydrangea, Eleanor. The blossoms last so long!

JD - I feel as lazy now, after all the two days of celebrations, as your cats appear to be. I better be your favorite!

Love that Pretty Much Picasso, Christina!

Very colorful, Jen. Love that contrast.

Thanks to all for the birthday wishes. It has been a very good day. Charlie, my five year old grandson, even helped me blow out the candle!

A very special thank you for the phone call from Pakistan from my long time DG friend, Kaleem. You are so thoughtful to always remember my day.

That looks like a really fine celebration for your 7th decade.

Happy Birthday Pirl! I hope you had a great day♥

Thanks, Jo Ann and Ronnie. Lovely flowers!

Pirl It looks like a Port Meirion Rose because it is one...A David Austin from Halifax Seed Company. I ordered it one year and they were out of it but the next year they contacted me when it came in.Of course I bought it. David Austin Roses aren;t usually hardy here but I planted it with the graft 4" or 5" down and it has come back every year so far.JOY

Aha! How wonderful to have the real rose in your own garden and in your own home. It's beautiful.

Hello dear
I can guess , how was that day which was started with my phone call but you can't guess our happiness , Samina loved your voice and your way of talking. That was a great day for us also. My pc was broken and I was unable to access Internet . At the moment we are in my mothers house. You , Megan and Charlie are looking great. God bless you and such lovely days come in your life daily.
Thank so much for being my friend.
Kaleem

You make friendship so easy, Kaleem. It was so very thoughtful of you to call from Pakistan and speaking to your wife, Samina, was wonderful.

You, Kaleem, are a gentleman and a very sweet friend.

Thank you for making my 70th birthday so special.

Arlene

Pirlene,

Happy belated bday :-)

I hope you got what ever you wanted for your bday, plus extra!!!

Hi Thom! Thanks for the good wishes.

Oh, I got what I wanted...a wine opener...and more (he weeds, too!).

My sweet friend from Canada, Cheryl, sent him on his way.

Pirlene

Wow...send him here when you're done, Pirl!

You're kidding, right? I'll teach him to cook and clean and...mulch - that's it, mulch.

Sorry I missed your Birthday - hope it was filled with blooms!

Thanks. It was filled with many blooms and this was among them (from JD/Mike):

What a fun mug!

What a fun person who sent it! My life would not be as happy or as much fun without JD. His education, knowledge and experience is phenomenal and his help, from afar, is always appreciated. He is with me in the garden more than he could know. The garden gate, in the background of this photo, incorporates a cast iron piece Mike sent.

Of course I posted it sideways on purpose!

just saw this thread Pirl - hope your b-day was a good one!!

nice JM in front of the gate - which one? koto-no-ito?

Thanks, Bill. It was a great day for an old broad.

Scolopendrifolium. Thought I had lost the entire tree when branches died but I guess it was just transplant shock.

Particularly lovely in early spring.

The gate is just beautiful.....

Thank you, Marilyn. While I do love flowers and driftwood in the garden, cast iron is my favorite decorating item.

i looked up your tree pirl and it sounds like a really nice hardy one - good choice!

Nice to hear that from you, Bill, since you're the pro with JM's. Thanks for telling me.

I did buy it locally from a nursery guy we've known for a very long time and whom I trust.
