LouC - on a side note have you heard from Bronc?
North Texas Round-Up, Final Headcount
And really - I love it over here in the Texas Forum we are able to play around and not get all bent out of shape like I have seen in other forums. Everyone over here in this forum is just great.
I am heading off to bed... wish everyone sweet dreams and many many wonderful blooms before the frosts of winter knock at your door.
Nothing from Bronc.
Afraid I'm right behind.
night,night, everybody. Sweet dreams.
Goodnight, JohnBoy.
Night, Mary Ellen
well i was just coming on to stir up some trouble but looks like i am too late tonight. goodnight, sweethearts.
Yep - I'll have to agree - Mitch and Bronc and Dennis and
Frank and Dave and all the other guys there are swell.
I'm a big fan already. Everyone was so friendly and
hospitable. They're all keepers. And the ladies - well,
they were a shining example of what Southern hospitality
is all about. I'm so glad I went.
it was fun right? toooo much fun but fun.
Morning All - hope each and every one of you has a great and blessed day.
Starting and ending the day with sweet and kind people helps the middle to go better, don't cha think?
I dreamed I was planting all night. Somethings I planted over and over and over.
I need to get some of that done today so I don't have to spend all night "planting". hahahaha
Another wonderful day in the neighborhood. Thank God we all got to know Mr. Rogers.
That it is... all the kids are tooo high on waiting for the sugar rush.
what you mean you didn't' take in a treat for them??? LOL...do they do a parade around the school in costumes then go back to their rooms and have their lil parties and get soo pumped up on sugar for the bus ride home????
That was the only thing I didn't like about the holiday parties at school the kids were sooooooo wound up on candy and excitement it was hard to get them to stay in their seats on the bus ride home along with the fact some couldn't' wait to get home to start eating the candy and left the candy wrappers all over the floor.
i am curious to know how your school handles holidays, mitch. at our school we only do Christmas and valentines now. nothing like when i was in school. it's sort of sad to me.
I do the holidays... I close my door and do it anyways. I think kids need them.
We had people at the door to call homes if they came dressed up... that was sad. but we are having candy and prizes here in class anyway. (Oh and no Chirstmas we got to call it a Holiday or Winter... but with a Christmas tree and gifts and everything... oh well.)
we have never done gifts at my kids school. oh, and this year........no halloween carnival..uh, fall festival. they might do something in jan.
See just sad.. kids need those things to ground them in the cycle of the year.
No I make each kid a gift bag for Christmas... a pencil, some candy, fruit, and a toy at least.
Maybe a little contribution in some way would help you a little at Christmas.
How many children are in your care? Are they pre-K or Kindergarten?
Christi - I dont want to get them too big or they tend to get pick off them by the older kids... but I have 17 kids.
You guys are soooo funny! I would have taken some Bamboo, I got huge pots to grow it in so I can shade my Hostas. Who's big pot of Bamboo I saw at the far end down there. I am so glad I diont make to many trades I came home with more stuff than I can handle. I talked to the yard man today, told him to come plant Saturday. I trained this guy to plant and he loves it ... am i lucky or what?
Mamajack will you please tell what the Catapalta tree was in ... or did I get it? I got more stuf that i have no idea of what it is. lol So come spring I will running some ID threads as usual.
Mitch I cant wait for your dedication ceremony, I will be there with bells on.
BTW who had the Bamboo?
I have bamboo ....it was planted here by someone before us and not contained so it was left to try and take over soo we have been working on cutting some down and the roots are all over the place.
I was at the far end when Siggy and Sweezel were loading it in the vehicle, that was some big pot of bamboo! Not sure who it came from but it went home with Sweezel; it was twice her size! LOL!!
BTW Sylvia, Ted started a great thread to ID the RU plants that were not labeled, etc!! Here is the link....

Phyllis do yours grow tall like the one Sweezel had?
Thanks Sheila.
I have one that does Sylvia... do you want one? You can come down here and get it if you want.
Mitch I need more than one I got three pots to fill. Yes I will come and get it ... then I can meet LouC too and give her the Hosta.
If Ruby made it to Arlington, she should make it there. LOL
Remember what happen when I went on my test drive to meet Sheila? LOL
You have been here too... Maybe LouC could head over this way (I have some shade plants for her too and she is going to bring me the swap plants maybe... ) What about Sat some time?
What type shade plants you have? :) Saturday may be good after 12.
ok - I have two ferns and two coulmbines. Both very nice but more suited to a little garden she has there then here.
the bamboo I have is taller then I am ...well over 6 ft tall ...
OMG Mitch I dont have a truck you know? lol Dont you have something smaller? lol
I brought it here in a car - you can get it home in a car.
mitch, you are so funny. but sylvia, he is right. that won't be hard to do.
Mitch my eye doctor just called to confirm my appointment tommorrow @ 11:30... I dont know if I can make it. Also I got Greg coming in the AM to plant.. be good to bring him to handle that tree. I dont know what I can do right now ... oh I just thought of something else I got to do @ 10 AM
.....thinking out loud ......
No problem - come in the afternoon when you get done. You can leave the Hosta here or we can take it over there to LouC.
As I said in several other threads. My pc has been down for 3 days. Thought I was gonna die. Juan coming at 10:30 AM. Saturday for making more beds and other odds and ends. Let me know what's up. Wherever would be fine with me.
Christi
Great so Sylvia let us know when you can get here!
I don't think I am going to make it today. Greg didn't come today and I am tired already. I got to bring Greg if I am going to battle a 6ft tree ... lol ... I want to see Christi's new bed and what you you did to your place ... so next sat ... mid morning ... got to meet Kris (Earthling) at 1:30 ... its going to be a busy day! lol
gonna miss ya, have fun
When are you gonna miss me Mitch???
Today - today...
Sorry... Yes, it was me who went home with the Bamboo. It was from Siggy and it was a very nice and large pot of Black Bamboo. He moved and does not have a good place for it anymore so I got talked into taking it. :) It will be kept in a large pot on my cement back porch to keep it from invading. I am sure I will be able to share at future swaps.
Ahh good way to have it in a pot ......don't water it too much as it doesn't like wet feet unless you are trying to kill it ..LOL
