The Flowerpot Cafe'

Not sure where that Sue is today, believe it may be her bithday? Or has my blonde thing messed me up with dates again. At any rate a day late or dollar short one big Happy Birthday Down Under!

Candee - you are NOT a day late or dollar short - I looked up Sue's profile and her birthday is June 16th. Not sure what the time change is, or how the international dateline works, but in any case, your birthday wish to her is quite timely.

Happy Birthday Sue!!! Here's some candles for you to blow out, seeing as the bonfire is much too big for one person to blow out LoL. I think these (called Christmas cheer) are the same type of red hot poker that is blooming for you now that is fall/winter down under.

Hi everyone!

Thanks for my special sunflowers Blossom, look forward to seeing them!
Plantgeek, I sowed my Beargrass seeds yay! Please save your watermelons.... new natural containers for the cafe' flowers, Thanks.
Candee, the traffic was very bad it look me 3 days to locate elle's farm, guess what? she was out!
Dianne, Beautiful Gardenia arrangement, it smells wonderful in here, Thank you!
Glad you like the new lamp, we need a few more to really brighten the place up though!

Well, I'm off to start the party room decorations , back later.... Great Candles Dianne.

Oh goodie a party, hope I can make it this time round!

Preparations are delayed this end due to a thunderstorm and lightening here!
Hope it goes off before dark, I knew I should have picked my flowers earlier....

So sorry to hear that you are having bad storms. Perhaps I can help with at least one decoration. This one's for you Sue, kinda stole the leaf idea from Dianne, but sure she doesn't mind! Happy B-day!

Come one Come All

OOH - a party. Nice invite Candee. Sue - here's some 12 or 24 year old whiskey for you

(Candee - I stole that idea from Deb, so steal away!)

Terri must have been caught in the thunder and lightening - maybe she can pop in in the wee hours of the morn?

Hi everyone!
Great you got the party room organised Candee, Thanks!
I did get the umberlla out and braved the storm for our Sue, Happy Birthday!!!!
Here's a fine bottle of Green Hot Poker wine. Have a great day.

Happy Birthday to you!

Come on Sue get in here and uncork that wine, looks way too inviting to have me sitting around it!

Have a cake while you're waiting!

I'll wait for Sue I want her to get the full effect with the entire tray of cakes. They are beautiful you have been a busy girl!
I made a little something myself, first try and it is not too bad.

Think we may have to send the paddy wagon for her in the am I believe that bonfire may have gotten outta hand. Guess she is sleepin it off and will join us tomorrow on her big day! Nighty night for now!

WOW! Cakes and wine and flowers and pokers! *I am so lucky. Its 4pm for me here and I've been at work all day, so I haven't missed it all have I? I bet you guys are sleeping it all off. Not much of that Whiskey left!
I cut myself some flowers to brighten my life, heres Golden Penda, A Banksia, and 'Cherry Ripe' Allamanda, with a couple of sprigs of wild wattle foliage

Got a bit lower so you can see the Allamanda. C'mon everyone, lets turn up the music and have a dance!

Bill has lit another bonfire for us all to dance around. Its just out the back door of the cafe' in the vacant lot behind! Drinks are on me.
Sue

Hi Sue - I'm still up and rearing to go. I'll join you for a dance around the bonfire. Lovely bouquet you got there - I love banksia but I don't think I can grow them here. Thanks for the drinks. And enjoy the rest of your special day!

What kind of music do you like Dianne. I'll get Bill to put another CD on!

Happy Birthday Birthday girl!
Lovely bright and colourful Birthday arrangement Sue, Thanks for bringing it to the cafe'
Great bonfire, brilliant idea to dance the night away around the fire, hope it's still going when I get home from work!!
Bill's doing a fab job with the sounds, love this one......... c'mon lets go boogie!!!

Happy Birthday Sue! Here's a bottle of brew for you. Ya don't hafta stop after one or two, spin on your head and Koo Koo Cachoo! Yeah, it's early. Very early.

Good to see ya Weedy. Hope all is well and happy. I baked brownies with choc/raspberry icing for you. Just the thing to go with beer. lol

Listen to you plantgeek, now get off your duff and get out there with her! I think that fire is gonna be burning a while, just be careful. Nice arrangement you made there Sue, looks like you still have a variety to work with even in the cold. At work here as well, but hoping you all are still partying into the evening.

Very nice, Weed. A whole lotta plants I'm not familiar with! Really pretty.

Oh yeah, well then come on over here Candee and have a spin too. lol What's really fun is when beer bubbles out your nose.

Hi everyone!

I see the bonfire is still going strong! Any food left? Oh yes I see some of Gwens veggie nibbles, tastey!
Has Sue crashed out yet????? lol!
I didn't even know we had a vacant lot behind the cafe'! Love the new firepit.
I tried to grow Allamanda last year Sue, after I had seen your lovely ones, they disapeared before flowering LOL! Wild wattle sounds and looks cool, does that flower?

Plantgeek. lets go in the shed, I wanna tell you something.....
I'm not going to Candee's for dinner anymore, she forgot and has offered me some poor things ribs LOL! How will I get out of it?

Hehehe. Depends on how bad you wanna be. You could slip on vampire teeth, drool fake blood and snarl as you eat. Or, when she isn't looking, slip a rib into a well placed purse under the table. Or accidently knock over your plate when the dog comes into the room, but make sure there aren't any more ribs to serve. Personally, I like the de-evolution act best. You could play that to the hilt by gnawing pretending to gnaw on my arm, right on the spot where I have glued on a blob of fake skin loaded with fake blood. I'll even wear white for more effect. But let's not tell anyone, lest they give it away.

LOL!!!! I knew you would come to the rescue mate! sshhhh someone's coming! quick lets talk about something else!

Didn't Sue look fantastic in her party dress? didn't know she had legs !!!

LOL, just happended to be going by the shed and heard of of the most awful plans for gettin out of a dinner invite. Well, that is fine, just remember the pie goes with the ribs and if the vampire takes you out before dessert is served well then you just missed out!! Guess you had no idea that the ribs were specially selected from a very dear acquaintance and are quite young and tender, but no matter that just makes for more for me and others and now I can get your extra iece of pie!

Plantgeek!!!!! see what trouble you've caused now?

Oh no trouble for me, now I don't have to cook for extras and there will be plenty of pie for just me steve and Ms. Woodsy!

And while I happened by the shed look what I saw by the front light having an evening snack!

Party.. oh no, tell me I did not miss the party... I got you some herbs Sue!

There is chocolate mint, applemint, pineapplemint, variagated sage, tricolor sage, spearmint and a few others. There on the table here with some coleus too!

Happy Birthday!

Dont worry about the dishes again.. Ms Woodsy said COLDWATER can do them.

So sorry if I am late! My new name is FOREVER BEHIND BLOSSOM

Oh no blossom, I am generally the one blond outta the loop. We saved you some cakes and wine just let me see if I can find where Sue hid it. I think she had it in her head that she would have another little drinky pooh when she awakes and so she put it away somewhere. Now where would she hide it?

Well, thats ok, I will pass on the wine, I am the designated driver again as usual.... I will just have to sniff the herbs again to get a fine buzzz!

But gimme cake please!! YUMMMM!

Ok, I have to be off, sorry to pop in and run...I have to be back to work at the GPS4 and log in some of the new plants that I just scored.

Please keep the home fires burning!

One more gift though before I run!

Thanks all, especially the herbs Blossom. Yummmm! he he.
I had too many whiskeys and had to get a bit of shut eye, but I'm up and rearing to go again.
I overheard some whisperings in the shed too candee. he he. I like the inventiveness I heard.
I stashed the plate of brownies so we'd have some left for today, and I sprinkled some of blossoms herbs over the top of them (wink, wink), is there any of PGs brew left? Scrape me up off the floor later would you? As long as I'm home in time to cook Bills tea I'll be OK! he he
Sue

Well, I am gonna grab me another cake before I go, but you have a great day!





Hey, well Holy Rubber Bisquits, wha are you doing on the cake tray?

You look good enought to eat, but I think I best take you back to the bog where you belong before COLDWATER gets a grip on ya!


Catch you party animals later!!

Me???!!! Silly rabbit, freaking out, passing me the cigarette when we got caught smoking in the woodshed. Ya big chicken. Well at least you got out of your predicament. And I can always make another pie. Better yet, let's all have some of Weedy's "majik" brownies, have a good laugh at the whole thing. Candee, can you whip up some tofu ribs for Terri and Bambi for the rest of us? I do believe we now have a case of the munchies. Oh, and break out that whip too. Seems us bad girls need a spankin'. hehehe

Blossom, what a great assortment of herbs. I love pineapple mint!
Can we eat the turtle? Just kidding.

Weedy, I made more brew and brought a giant spatula for scraping up snockered folks. So don't worry, have as much as you like. We'll get you home in time for tea.

Terri, good luck with your beargrass.

Though shall not eat the turtle.

I know he resembles a green hamburer, but please, do not eat the TURTLE! You may have though the chodolate covered turtles in that box over there.

Speaking of hamburger, here is an adorable pond garden I saw at McD's yesterday!

Hi everyone! it's me Terri !!!
Soz !! I've BANNED myself from the cafe' for a couple of days!!!
Staying at my SIL's Flowertips house, don't know my password, LoL!

Hope I get another invite to Candee's one day, I was so looking forward to their homegrown potatoes and a simple salad!!! Chocolate cheesecake and Cherry pies!

Sue, please save a couple of those Brownies for me!
