Morning Glories 2023 # 01

Sorry to hear that. Hope you can get one that works.

Thanks, me too Linda.

We'll, hope you have better luck with your "new"
Computer Jackie.
Had to move my mgs back to the gh just to be safe. They are doing great, today I saw that I have several vines with buds. They were getting morning sun to mid day.

Congratulations on the buds Helena. Hope to see some blooms soon.
Crazy weathere here. Supposed to drop to mid 30's tonight.

It may have hit the 20's here last night Linda.. It was warmer here in Feb than it is in March, smh
Helena,. won;t be long b4 you have blooms, Eager to see your blooms, hoping it will help me with this hoirrible stress.
On a different computer for now. Going to look at Walmart today Can you believe that Best buy didn;t have any desk top computers, said I would need to order it online, what???

Times are changing for sure.
Hubby and I went out Wed to buy a new double recliner. All recliners are now electric and twice the price. Outrageous.

Very scary Linda, Don;t know whats going to happen but it doesn;t bode well.

It's too cold for me too.
Yep, things are changing too fast and don't really care for it.
I need stress relief too.

Helena, sorry you have too much stress too. With all that's going on, it's no wonder.
We have to just keep hanging in there.
I have a beautiful Dancing Girl Begonia I want to send pics of if I can get a good pic,
My Phantom Begonia is looking good and growing too but ants are working it over
They're after the sticky secretion from the scale on the back of it's leaves. I need to
spray for the ants and use alcohol swabs to banish the scale.

They sound beautiful Jackie. Hope you can get the ants under control.

Bought a new computer today Linda so didn;t get much else done.
Didn't get to take my pics or buy my new insect spray. Will try again tomorrow.
I couldn;t import anything to this new computer, wish i was more computer literate.

Hope you get it up and running smoothly. Always hard to figure out new tech gadgets.

Hope it works out Jackie. I always lucky to have someone else to set it up for me.
Working and getting some of my new purpureas into bigger pots. I have way too many seedlings to plant.

Linda, its been a little hard for me, not tech savy.
Helena,. glad you;ve got quite a few going. I;m still emptying pots from last summer, berhind on everything here,.
I have to find my start up cd for my Fuji camera or I can;t upload pics,. It's got to be here somewhere.

Hope you can find your cd Jackie. Surprised you found a computer with a CD drive. Most of them don't come with it anymore. Last time I got a new computer, we had to buy an external drive.

Linda,. you;re right no built in cd drive. I guess I can google Fine Pix and see about downloading a driver for my camera. It didn;t work when I plugged my camera into this new computer, of course it didn;t recognize it so I can;t send pics yet

I bought a new Kodak digital and can't upload my pics on it. Bought the usnd card but that didn;t work.
Maybe I just need to plug in the sdb card directly into one of the ports.

Hope you get your pictures to download Jackie.
We had a couple of cool days here. But starting to warm up a bit.
I'm still working on getting my seedlings into bigger pots. Also waiting on my blooms to get closer to opening up. Slow progress b/c of the cool weather.

Ladies, I am asking you to keep my husband Todd in your prayers. Last week we found out his cancer has spread to his liver, possibly kidney too. Day after we got that news he had a heart attack. He is holding his own right now. Heart doctor says he can fix his heart and will be on blood thinners for life. If he is on blood thinners he can't go through chemo.
Cancer doctor says he is too weak right now, so he has ordered physical therapy for him. We have 2 month get him stronger or there will be no time left for chemo to work.
Because I can't lift him if he falls, I had the choice to put him in a nursing home for therapy, or move in with family members for help getting him to out patient therapy.
So Monday both of my boys will be here to throw our stuff in a uhaul, to move to Amarillo, Texas with my oldest son.

Linda, I am so sorry to hear this, Todd has been thru so much already.
Prayers and hugs for you and Todd, praying that the Dr's can turn this around.

Thank you Jackie.

Linda, hope you can make time to keep us posted after your move this coming week.

Most definitely. Just going to take a bit to move and get settled in.

Yes and very tiresome, glad you will have help.

I'm sorry to hear this news Linda. Sending hugs and prayers for your husband and you. Glad you have your son's help.

Thank you Helena.

I hope everything is going better Linda.
Hope this blooms will cheer you up a tiny bit.

It's chaos here, getting things packed. All but our bedroom is ready to go on the truck. We leave here in the morning.

Sorry to hear that Linda. Praying for you all.

Looks gloomy here too. My fujishibori opened with slight defects.

Beautiful blooms Helena. Glad to see your new blooms are starting to open.
More storms coming thru here this morning.
Linda, I know you will be so glad to get it all moved and settled in. Very tiring for you and Todd.
I've never seen in my lifetime, in my city, so many damaged and destroyed homes, buildings,
and uprooted trees that were thrown like toothpicks,.

Praying both of you are safe from storm damage.


Just checking in real quick to let you know we arrived last night about 9 in Amarillo. 37 degrees here this morning. We spent the night in a motel, and my son and his friends will get the uhaul unpacked today.
I truly appreciate both my boys coming to help pack up my house and get it loaded.
Todd gets really confused lately. Some days he doesn't know who I am or where he is. We are just waiting on the doctors to give us an appointment up her to get his therapy started to get him stronger

Hope he gets the treatment he needs Linda and he starts to improve.

I have a pretty bloom from my rose chocolate bzd.

Helena, so glad to see you getting beautiful blooms.

A lovely bloom Helena,.
Linda, hoping and praying for the best for Todd. Scary condition
He's facing.

Hospice lady was just here. We will be moving him to the house by Monday. They need to make arrangements to get his bed and equipment. Make a schedule for the visiting nurses, and figure out what meds he will be getting.
Todd was awake for few minutes this morning. He can't move any portion of his face. He can't speak or swallow. He may have had a stroke? They did head to groin scan this morning. We are waiting on results.
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers.

More prayers coming your way Linda for you and Todd. It dies sound like he had a
big stroke. I;m so sorry.
We had bad news this morning. My sister I had told you'all about a couple of months ago that had been in the hospital was found dead in her bed this morning at 7 o'clock..She had been released to her daughter and was not in the hospital,.
We are devastated. Her heart just gave out.

Posting to let you know we brought Todd home tonight for hospice care.
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers.
I will keep you updated.

Todd passed away yesterday afternoon. The hospice chaplain was here saying prayers when he took his last breath

Just now getting back here after the shock of losing my sister Saturday..
Been trying to help plan her funeral and memorials.

Linda, this is horrible news So sad to hear that Todd had taken an awful turn for the worse.
