HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELL!
Have a great day. I have a dyson vacuum and its great, but vacuuming on your birthday is illegal I think. Actually I think its some sort of federal law. lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELL !
Indeed illegal! Put away the vacuum and have some CAKE!! Pink Cake!!
WOW too many to thank you all individually! I am overwhelmed with your good wishes. I just woke up; it is 8:30 here, someone called me and screamed wake up Kelley........ it turned out to be my SIL! LOL I have a full dmail too and looks like my regular email is overflowing too. I may be too busy to vacuum. LOL
You are so sweet. It is so nice to have you all as friends. And shoot, in a moment of vacuum awe I had exclaimed the house would all be vacuumed when my DH got home today. What was I thinking? Of course it is illegal. I will have to tell him. LOL
THANK YOU ALL! And thanks for all the PINK flowers too and look I even got a PINK cat. LOL Jackie too funny! And oh Tonny, a true brug forest you have there!

Happy Birthday!!!!!
Vacuuming on your birthday is against the law, but it's legal if DH does it lol
Happy Birthday Kell!! Hope it is a fabulously pink day :-)
Oh WOW all my good friends helping me celebrate. Even handsome Oscar all the way from Canada. What a sweetie he is. Hard not to love that guy!
Thank you all. I so appreciate it, I really do.
Hey Dick, nice looking brug there. LOL And look at those tendrils on that DP, a beauty Delisa!
and PS I haven't vacuumed a thing. I have been sitting at the computer since I got up answering emails. I am so bad.
Happy Birthday to a wonderful friend ! I hope today is (and tomorrow and forever) very special for you. You're a blessing to all fo us and we hope you can see how very much you mean to us....every one of us :))
Enjoy what's left of today and forget the wonderful Dyson, it will work even better tomorrow LOL. Here's hoping you had a glorious time time today and tonight surrounded with love and happiness.
Seeing this thread has made me feel almost effervescent.....giddy, perhaps. You're a doll and we all love and appreciate you. God bless you and keep you safe, Margo
Well, This sure has turned out to be a FUN and HAPPY thread for your Birthday!!!
Just look at all the wonderful pics you got here Kell. Simply wonderful....
Hope your Day was a special one. Looks like it started out fantastic with the Beautiful roses.
!!!what an animal of a sweetheart you have!!!

LOL Kin. Yes, it is a great thread. I found 3 more birthday threads on DG too, it was so nice to come across them unexpectedly.
Oh Sandy, your granddaughter is a doll especially in PINK! LOL. THANKS
Oh Margo, I never did vacuum. Oh shucks. LOL! I had lovely party last night at our weekly sushi place in the city. We had champagne and lobster and they even had a huge bouquet of flowers for me. I was so pleasantly surprised but it all. Thank you so much for the kind words.
And you too Joan, you are too nice. I love your PINK brug too. THANKS!
WelI, I am sitting here at 6AM another year older and wondering if I am going to the Strybing Arboretum plant sale held outside in San Francisco with Lali girl. It is pouring rain. I got an email at 6 where she was wondering if it was one of our wiser ideas and I am awaiting her decision!
Thank you all again!
Lali is scratching her head wondering what kind of plant junkie goes out in weather like this to buy more plants when the her greenhouse is busting at the seams, her house plant quota was met long ago and her DH said 'One more plant and I'll have you committed!'
But seriously, my galoshes are by the door along with rain gear and life vest..... ready to brave the deluge!
Of course you should go. The not as dedicated people will be doing their vacuuming anyhow and you'll have fewer people and more plants to enjoy.
If just "one more plant" would have you committed then buy three or four and make it worthwhile.
I guess we should take the pick up truck then Kell. Pirl says buy the place out. We were just discussing the same thing, rain = less competition!
When they put me in a straight jacket I want mine in lime green and Kell's in pink!
LOL. Yes PINK! I have reconsidered. I was up till 4:30 AM and got up at 6 AM. I think I am fading.............. LOL! But I guess I could rally! But my DH just said if I come back to bed he will make me a big birthday breakfast one day late.
Ummmm...I think you ought to get BOTH ! Somewhere in the world it is still the 9th, so literally it is still your birthday, LOL ! A big birthday breakfast and THEN the trip to Strybing....ohhh how I wish I lived closer...that place sounds like a dream come true. Just drooling over their web site fills me with envy, so GO!! Make pictures, buy plants, lots of plants, and have fun, fun, fun. "Do lunch", enjoy a Saturday with your friends, then go home and spoil your DH :))
KELL, DH made my plant shelf with grow lights and have 2 trays of brugs. One in rockwool and one with seed starter....praying for GAUDY doubles !! I'll try to make a photo later. It was so easy...gosh I am so glad Wrightii sent me a thread on "how to build your own". Saved me at least a couple hundred over the one I really thought of buying.
God bless, Margo
{{{{{{SIGH}}}}} Late to the party as always. Happy Belated Birthday, Kell!!! Let us know how much of an animal your Animal is! LOL
Marilyn
are you talking about Tom or her dyson.......????
rotflmao
Well Margo, I got none. LOL. Lali and I decided it was too cold and too wet to go so we both went back to bed. When I woke up my husband had left already. I think I have been robbed. The only good part is we all decided to go to the city for dinner instead. I am so glad you have your seedling rack going. I am sure hoping for real gaudy doubles for you.
Hi Marilyn! You and CC are so naughty. LOL. Maybe I should vacuum today. LOL Though I may just catch a movie with another friend in an hour.
Kell glad you had such a wonderful Birthday. There always tomorrow for plant shopping
Happy Birthday, Kell!!
I hope it was super special, for a super special gal!!
Bonnie
Tomorrow I need to work outside but it is supposed to rain here for a few more days! We have hardly had any rain and this is our rainy season!
Thanks so much Bonnie. We are having another birthday dinner out tonight, I can't wait.
I just realized earlier that Angela (plant_fiend) is back on Dave's. We missed you, Angela. I was so happy when I reread this thread and saw your post.
Look Donna, recognize this?? I am in love. Thank you again.
oh my that is beautiful. Good choice. I was so afraid you were going to lose it in the freeze you had
It came inside.......sat in my living room for 2 weeks; a place a true honor. No way was I going to lose a PINK variegated plant like that. LOL It is truly stunning top to bottom.
Well, I am being yelled at to get dressed to go out. I just can't wait till spring when I can look out my window and not see dead foliage.
Donna? Kell? Tell me what that beautiful thing is? I need to get out more, I think! LOL It's gorgeous!!!
Oh Brin, when the sun hits it, it is like fire and your eye will find it even in a big garden.
When the moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie
That's amore!
Let me see if I can find a picture of one in the sun. I have been having a serious love affair with all Protea for several years. I swore I never would get started on them but be a lookiloo forever. Then around Christmas I was out with some friends from Dave's and I saw a variety I particularly loved. I had already flirted madly and even had dates with a similar one at a nursery in Berkeley that was in their display garden. They are hard to find.
Anyway, we were at this nursery and they had a little beauty. One of the gals I was with asked me about them and then made moves like she was going to buy the one that I coveted but was being so strong and walking on by.
As I saw her go to pick it up, I got all bent out of shape and was feeling so territorial. Anyway, my friend who is a great friend for my behavior just made her laugh, realized I was not going to let her buy it on such a casual whim when I was the one that had been in love with it for a very long time. Well it turned out Donna had sent her funds to surprise me with a plant I truly wanted. She was grabbing it for me. LOL. She had to come clean on the spot. LOL I am so bad. It makes me laugh whenever I see it.
It is a Leucadendron salignum 'Safari Sunrise.' It is so entertaining whether in flower or not. I am such a lucky girl; great friends and great plants.
Gee, sorry I missed your birthday, Happy Belated Birthday Kell, it sounded like a good one.I'm seeing lots of Dzs of roses! I have been poking poseys @ a flower shop since last Tues. Going back tomorrow, just came home to drop my dirty laundry & get clean duds. Staying in that town instead of driving back & forth.
Everyone I know that has a Dyson swears by them. that will be my next one as well. Glad it was a grand BD!
