Aww Candee, We love you!
How about some fresh warm rose tea and a heart of roses.

Hi elle!

Your table is ready, Enjoy your tea!

mmmmm, looks scrummy as usual Terri. Thanks for saying such nice things about my aarangement, *blush*
Hi Elle, glad you can drop in from time to time. What kind of garden have you got?

hi
tomato, beet, pea and other veg
elle

Love the rose tea, I have been drinking eucalyptus tea to help my cough, it sure tastes nasty. Your pic is lovely. As he temps are only in the 50's I'm not going out to pick dandy lions until it warms up. I'm really a barefoot gardener and if it cold enough for me to wear socks then I'm probably going to stay indoors. A Wimp, I know!

Terri, you are an angel and it shows in your work! Thank you so much for the tea, it is just what I needed and heartfelt roses.
Elle, hope you have success in your trials at a different shift. We are all anxious to see your veggies
LOL wimpy, now 50 isn't that bad if the sun is shining, but be careful of frostbitten toes!!!

went to yard sale today
here what i bought

here in the yard

here one with a bee in the middle of the flower.
can you see it?

Hi all, Hope you are having a nice weekend?

Thanks Sue! What crazy stuff have you been up to?

Thanks Mittsy, I'm a fair weather gardener too,as soon as it gets chilly .I'm indoors!!!!!! I like it tropical, pity I live in England!
I hope your cough gets better soon. I'm looking forward to another tea or coffee pot for this cafe!

Candee, glad you liked the tea and it warmed you up. My halo is shinning brightly today Thank you!!!!!!!!! Lol.
(You have a wonderful imagination)!

Thanks elle for sharing your plants. I think I see the bee! I love going to plant sales. There is a big plant sale coming up at our allotments on June1st, hope to get a few bargains then.

Have a good evening all and chillax on Sunday!
Have you seen the cafe doggy bags?

Oh.. How cute!!!!!!!!! I want a doggie bag filled with flowers just liek that. : ) Finally startign to get a couple of flowers blooming finally, but not much yet. Can't belive my season is runnign so late here. but sure am loving all the creations.

Here's a cheery pot of tea from lakeside (note the seagulls on my pot) Oneida Lake is my view from the deck.

And this is why it is so hard to move permanently to Florida. No lilacs or spring bulbs.
Lilacs are double French Hybrid and narcissus are Poet. Wall Cress or Rock cress Arabis.

OOhhh How lovely! Mittsy you made a beautiful pot of tea! Love your pretty Lilacs, this is a treat today!
I didn't know you can't grow Lilacs or spring bulbs in Florida! Plenty of yummy oranges though Lol!
Thank you, I'll have your vase on my table in the cafe, by the window. I like to see who's coming in!!!!!!!

Hi Star, Thank you! I can't wait to see what flowers you have. How are your veggies doing?
I bought some sweetcorn plants to put in my veggie plot. I know they probably won't get any corns here! but they are nice plants!!! If we get a long hot summer they might develop, fingers crossed.

Only 2 days until I go to Chelsea flower show......... getting excited here!!
Any requests for pictures of your favourite flowers?

Hi all, dropping in for a quick cuppa before work. I can';t wait for a larger meal so i can get me one of those doggy bags!
The Iris is beautiful Elle! And your coleus and Begonia should do really well in your garden.
Hi Mittsy, your flowers look beautiful. I haven't seen a Lilac in a long time.
Hi Candee, hope all is well with you and yours. Looking forward to seeing some of your wonderful creations.
Terri, thanks for keeping the cafe open at all hours. Its a nice place to come and catch up and smell the flowers!
I for one, would like to see the bromeliads! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.........
Sue

Hi Sue,
Glad you like the doggy bag, I'll save one for you!
I saw a T.V. preview programme for Chelsea tonight, everything was being put together!
The broms I had a peek at looked gorgeous, will definately try to find them! Infact the Aussie display looked fantastic.
The whole site is so big, I hope I can find all the lovelies, scared I'll miss anything really good!
Have a good day at work down under! Bedtime for me, night night!

Oh, I was joking! I didn't think Broms would be a part of it there in Britain! Well, if you don't have to go out of your way too much Terri, that would be great, but make sure you do all your own stuff first and only go there if you get time! I'm going to go to Chelsea one day! Do you have room for a visitor if I needed a place to stay? Seriously?
Its a dream of mine to go there!
So whats that then, one more sleep to go? You are going to have such a great time, and I'll have a word with the weather gods to make sure nothing spoils your day!
Sue

That doggy bag is adorable, such creativity. Mittsy, I love the gulls and that arrangement, wow, what are those? Oneida lake must be a gorgeous view, I spent a lot of time at Cayuga lake growing up and just love everything about NY. I had no idea about the lilacs not growing in FL, learn somethin new every day.
Sue, thanks for your kind thoughts, we have had a very difficult week and am so happy to be back here at the cafe with friends.
Elle you got some find prizes there from the sale. Now did the bee come with those or did you have to pay extra?

Just poppin' in quickly to say Hi to everyone! Haven't had time to catch up with the threads today.
Off to Chelsea tomorrow, can't wait... I'll check in the morning before I go to see if anyone has any last minute ideas for me to photograph!
Thank you Candee for your kind comment on the doggy bag!


P.S. Sue, there are exhibitors from all over the world at Chelsea, you would love it!

Have a spectacular day at the show, remember if you aren't sure what it is, post a pic of the marker telling the type of flowers, if they use them at the show.

Wheres Terri, I want to see!

Here's more lilacs with allium, a fresh pot for you to enjoy this am.

Mmmm, I'm going to have one thank you Mittsy! Its Pm here for me, so I'll have to get up for a tinkle in the wee hours (get it?)
Lovely arrangement.
I can't wait for terri to get back from Chelsea!

Neat Mittsy, so your onion and lilacs bloom at the same time. My lilacs are long gone and the alium just now in bloom. I just love that pot and yes I'll have a cuppa! Thanks,
tinkle, tinkle little Sue, good night, good night to you!

Doe/Audrey

Audrey, as suggested in another thread, go over to the camera forum and post the question and you'll be amazed at how quickly you find a great camera for your budget.

Anticipation is building for the Chelsea Flower Show. Can't wait for a little eye candy.

Mittsy,
Terri posted some for starters here on the Forces of Nature.

Thanks for the link.

Think good thoughts for pupil, today is court day.

Didn't realize that, perhaps we should do a little something in her honor of being free? Will have to see if I can get an idea of something for congrats to her.

If all goes well she will be able to move closer to her family. In that case we could send her new housewarming plants. She said she'd call me tonight to give me the results.

Started a new thread here for Traci's long weary day. Enjoy!

Hey Candee, didn't work! Takes you to starting a new thread! New link please, and is this cafe getting too long? Ususally Traci starts a new one. What do you think?

Oops, did I step on toes again, probably. I started the new thread as this was getting long. Sorry about the link, try this one.
