Roll Farms - Herdstock is over, and I'm feeling hung over, lol

[redtailgal]

ooooohhhhh, I LOVE Fuschias. I've had several. But they take one look at me and DIE.

every stinkin' time.

Take a real good pic of your and post it. I'll print it and hang IT on my deck. Then again, better not do that. I'm sure I'd kill yours too.

You flowers are beautiful, Rolls!
Sorry to hear about your camera.

DH says, "I'm going to have to get you a new camera so you can show everyone your fuschia."

Guess I'm getting a bonus Mother's Day gift...lol.

RTG, I've killed every one I've ever had, too. I think I overwater them. And the Amish fella who sold us this one told me they *hate* wind....well, I always hung them in a 'windy' area....so that's why this one got a special hanging place....it's up out of the wind, protected by the porch better. This is the biggest one I've ever seen, the size of a small shrub.
Pink / white. GORGEOUS.

After work / chores / run to Wal Mart....I went to the eye dr. And guess what? I'm an Old Fart. I had to order BIFOCALS.
He's also worried about the pressure in my eyes / glaucoma. Wants me to give up coffee and see how the pressures are in 1 yr. So I figure I've got 360 days or so of coffee left before I have to quit before the test.

Came home and had to talk to DD on the phone for a while, helping her fill out an application for financial aid for college....

DH came home as I was hanging up and I asked, "What do you want for dinner?" He says, "I've been craving Mi Pueblo all day." (Our fav. Mexican place).

God BLESS that man, some days he's awesome b/c I was starved and really didn't feel like cooking at that point. So we busted through chores and went and ate.

Came home and wanted to collapse on the couch but...Instead I thinned out the turnips I'd planted too closely and finished a few more flower pots. I have *got* to get a camera soon and show you guys how it looks. I'm not so much 'bragging' as hoping you guys enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy planting / arranging them.

I could truly spend all my days playing in the dirt and never tire of it. I love it.

I'm sorry, but your Dr just sound sadistic. Give up coffee, indeed. HUMMPH. I have cut back, but I WILL have my cup when I need it even if my eyes bug out of my little head. (brewing a cup of macadamia nut decaf right now, lol)

And yes, I understand about the dirt. My mother often groans when she sees my yard (and my knees, lol). She says that when I was just a toddler I was either in the dirt or holding a horse's tail screaming "YAH! YAH!". Well, I dont have a horse of my own soooooooo the dirt won!

Tell hubby that Redtail says you need that camera soon.......I love looking at your gardens.

Yep, you definitely need a new camera soon! I like looking at your gardens / flowers / plants too!

Glad you are getting a new camera...love your photos.
Sad for your having to quit coffee.

As I sit here drinking cup no. 2.........I still have 360 days of coffee left.

Sadly, I lost the last baby rabbit this morning. They were thriving, then all crashed in the last 36 hrs.

 

[daisychick]

Sorry you lost the bunnies. They seemed to be doing so good

I love playing in the dirt and planting stuff too, I could do it all day long if regular work and stuff didn't take up my time. I always say I really need to find a way to make a living out of playing with flowers and veggies. The local greenhouse here is ran by one of my classmates from high school and they are making tons of money, I kick myself every time I walk into their beautiful business and wonder why I didn't think of it.
