I thought I would post some early pictures from the RU at Kassia's house.
The weather was great, not hot or sticky.
There was a great group of wonderful people. Tons of food. And more plants then some nurseries have.
Thank you Kassia for hosting this wonderful time.
Your garden is beautiful and so are you.
I won't attempt to put names with pictures but please enjoy them.

a lot of planting in this garden
how do I plant this?
The lady with 10,000 roses - Kassia
It was great too see everyone
Everyone found something they needed for their garden
Along with all the plants went advice on how to care for them
Do I already have this in my garden???
You sweetheart
These pictures made my day.
Now I definatly want to do at least a meet and greet when I find out when ROBINDOG is comming in August.
I hope there are some names down the line, but everyone looks so happy.
I know there will be meny more. I'm just the closest to home.
Chuck
Carrie!
I love what you did with your hair!
Yes, doesn't Carrie look great? Thanks for the photos, dogwalker. It was great seeing you again and meeting your wife, Mrs. dogwalker (sorry, I am terrible with names)
sorry we missed you again, Candyce.
It was sooo soooooo hot! (I mean the temperature under the hair on my head prior to the haircut.) I picked out a boy haircut!!!! I miss the curls but they'll be back in a few weeks. Thank you for the lovely compliment!
The haircut suits you very well, Carrie.
It looks very easy-care and stylish.
Thank you (blush) definitely easy-care, at least!
I can ID some of the folks up thread, if I do it really soon, before I forget, ha ha ha!
Don't worry about forgeting names. I asked Marilyn to leave her name tag on!
Thanks, say "hi" to Marilyn!
Speaking of names. Did anyone else take that painter pallet that Kassia had? I didn't write down the real name.
For instance, seated, L - R, is Dave47, AYankeeCat and Seandor. Behind them on the left is Tamberlin and on the right somebody whose name I can't remember because I, too, am bad with names.

Thanks for getting these up so quickly, Chuck.
Thanks for your help, and the plants! Say "Hi" to Marilyn
Marilyn would say hi herself but...........She out planting all the "we don't have room for more flowers" selections from Kassia's..
Plants are like Jello.....there's always room for more.
I must say how impressed I am with a group of people that travel lengthy distances and take time out of their lives for one day and share themselves, their plants and their love of gardening with each other.
We both must have said how much fun we had and how glad we were that we went at least a dozen time on the way home.
Thanks everyone for making my life a little better.
Chuck
