Becky we must be sisters. I do so many dumb things. I laugh at myself ALOT. Mostly from the dumb accidents I have. There was the slipping run across the yard and the pruning of the hibbies (not intentional). There was also the falling on the tomato plant and pruning it within an inch of it's life lol.

I got it with a pot of stellas I bought. It was connected and I did not realize until the next year when it bloomed. I got two fer the price of one lol.
My day lily twofer is a tall red spider that starts blooming beginning of july and is still blooming!
Morning Hotties,
Goodness lots going on when this hottie was a snoring away. It’s always nice to have lots to read and look at with the AM coffee. Kimbob you Burgs are beautiful, I love the picture by the water, I think I’m part fish. Oh but the Pipe vine guy, he is just awesome, I too have a passion for the unusual, well at least unusual for the NE. I spend some time lurking on the Tropical forum, looking for ideas for my little RI patch of rocks. Gonna get me a nanna like Pegs next season , oh yeah, don’t care if I have to pick me a 5’ hole I want to leave it in the ground. Kim you have some very pretty and different things there too, I love to look in the background of your Burg pix. Clem, so sorry I did not make dinner, but you will have your chance, I’m looking at the options for LI. It is not too far for a day trip, just gotta wait on Aidan, help my DD some and I’ll be good to go. Audrey, glad you’re back, hope you had a wonderful time. When I pot these guys it is all I can do just to fill the next pot size to the level I need and plop them in, do the side fill thing and water, they’ve all made the transfer fine. Becky and Louise, I’m joining in with the dumb things. Beck you’re not the only one that has posted double. I had a ton on the clipboard once and posted it. I did get in quick to edit but a few of you hotties caught it. I could write a book on the dumb things I’ve done in the yard alone. Love your Lilies, but they don’t look like the ditch lilies we have here, they look more like a reblooming daylily I have. Ditch lilies grow all over here, most people try and kill them, not me I actually have to plant them and they don’t spread for me, nothing likes this rocky patch, I have to force everything to live here. Not to be concerned AuntB, I know I over did and the back is a little out of line this morning. Got me a vaca day and am going to go lie on the beach with the DD all day and do nothing. Siobhan will be in school so no chasing the toddler today, my DD is sneaking away so it will be just me and her. I’ll do some swimming in cool calm ocean water; it works wonders on the old bones. I have to go in with the DD anyway she is as big as a house, her balance is off and would float away if I didn’t hold on to her. 7 day to go and she is working the rest of the week, better than me I would be staying home by now.
Coffee’s is drunk, so time to take a walk through the yard, get my big old butt in the car and go to the beach. Boy I can be long winded here and procrastinate on a day off.
Good Monday morning to all and have a great day.
I have had several daylilies reblooming this summer, which is great. Not alot of blooms but a few on several different plants.
Morning Hotties, we had a downpour this morning and lots of thunder.....good day for sleeping....but I am at work...dang....
Picked lots of dahlias and roses last night since it was going to rain. Love my dahlias, wish I didn't have to dig them up and try to save them. I have dinner plate white, yellow with orange tips, purple with white tips, then a small perfect red, and a small dark purple. The white dinner plate is so pretty and so huge. Such a statement.
Lurked alot on the weekend, just to try to keep up....LOL
Hi hotties, so see I invite you all, noone shows up and now you all want the paella, lol, YES Beckie I gave it all to my darling neighbor, he begs me for it everytime he sees me. Javier gets annoyed at me beacuae He always tells me don't make too much, but I do because I know someone else will appreciate the left overs and the neighbor sure does!
Hotties, did you read that Donna is part fish, lol, you are too funny missy!
Aunt B don;t feel so bad about being short, so am I I am under 5 2 and my younger child is 5', my oldest though a giant 5'4, YES, giant for us here, lol!
Donna, I'll be waiting for ya lady!
Louise I'll send you some magic powder to make the paella ok, need to find your address though.
Kimbob, loved that Gigantic vine thing, very unusual!
Happgarden, I've never had lillies reblooming, how do you do it?
Hi Kim and Audrey!
Anyway my friends, HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY EVERYONE!,

Donna, I can relate to rocky ground. When I lived in Washington state I fell in love with the house I bought in a meadow with a woods. I never thought to check the ground. Spent an entire summer picking rocks and making rock walls so I could mow without blowing up another lawn mower. Anything I ever planted there (and it was alot!) I planted with a pick ax. You are so lucky you have the beach close by! I love the ocean.
Joyce, I love dahlias but I never dig them up so the poor things just don't stand a chance with me! It is pouring here this morning, that was nice and unexpected.
I started a new thread for our dial-up friends....Please join us here:

oooooo Clemen....magic powder??!! I am so excited! My paella attempts have been pitiful! Since you are sending magic powder, can you send a magic powder that makes me tall and skinny??? Been looking for that my entire life LOL. I am 5'3" . The reason I fall alot is that my feet are size 9's. I trip over my big feet alot!
Oh what a wonderful site to wake up to, so beautiful.
I see the new thread and will join you all there later.
Thanks dear Karen! (great minds think alike!) lol I spent too much "wind" on my last post... I'll get over there to#14 in just a bit,, good morning to you and Kimbob.. you always show us such lovely settings.. I can hardly wait for my purple dats to bloom...
Louise, you'd have been tall, if they hadn't turned down so much for feet! ^_^
My Puppy Love isn't rootbound, but the others are. I put Puppy in a larger container, so I wont repot her till next spring. Everything grew by leaps and bounds while I was on my trip!
I REALLY enjoyed my trip, but I was glad to get home! Kathy and Mike are excellant hosts, and she cooks for an army! Such a good cook!
Now, I'm looking forward to BJ's in May!
Here's the link, again, to the new thread darkmoondreamer (Karen) started for us. Audrey come on over there, we love hearing about your brugs... Puppy Love? It's a lovely brug..
