OH MY Anita....I am so very sorry to hear that the test results were not good. I know you will be fine...You are very strong and have a positive outlook which is very important. Do whatever needs to be done to lick this, and know that all your friends want the best for you and want to help in anyway we can. Thanks everyone for your concern about the tornadoes that hit the south. Tennessee was the worst hit, there were several tornadoes around me but fortunately, none hit the farm. Some barns, trees, mobile home etc. were demolished in KY and at last count 7 dead. I think the death toll (overall) is now at 58 with more possible as cleanup is done. Over half the deaths were in Tenn (sorry Canna) I hope no one you knew was harmed. I heard about a one year old who was found in rubble about 300 ft. from where his house had been...he was alive and fine, but his mother was killed. Cody...Seeds for me...yeah...I'll watch for them...want any postage or a trade for them? Sorry to hear about the car problems. But glad you're posting. I hope you will host a trade in April or May...I think you would be a terrific sponsor. Welcome to Miriam and Sassy. I have added Miriam to our members list since I got her info from Shirley. But I haven't gotten anything about Sassy yet. I will e-mail her and add her info to the memberslist and get new one's e-mailed soon. I've asked someone about joining our group. I'm waiting to hear back before bringing her name up for a vote. Marea...I'm so sorry to have missed your Valentine Swap. Since I am too late to join in...I will send each of our newest members...Roxy, Annette, Miriam, and Sassy a promisory note for a fan of something nice this spring in honor of your valentine's swap;0) BTW...I owe Oceans 11 to someone for an earlier swap where we had promissory daylilies...I lost my note about this...I think it was either Roxy or Mellen, please let me know who I owe it to. I would like to add my amen to whoever suggested that we also put anything important in a group e-mail. Once again, Anita, I am so sorry I wasn't online when you needed someone to share your sadness and fear. Please don't ever hesitate to contact me if you need ANYTHING. Hi Karen and Annie...good to hear from you gals. Karen, I looked at your pictures, are you interested in a trade this spring? Wow..what beauties. Happy Birthday Dawn!!! Sharon, I got the seeds...you are such a sweetie. Thank you. I'm getting my little greenhouse repaired from the wind damage and then I will be sowing those beauties....OH...Loved the wiggly butt. To all three of our Mary's and to Lisa...big hugs to you. Hi Paul...loved the photo's of the kids. Roxy...check the picture site....I hope to post something you sent me. I know I am missing several people, hugs to you and I will catch up with you later. Debbie/budsnblooms

Hi All, Hope you are all doing well, ((Paul)), So glad to see that you have posted & you are all right, Sure hope DW don't mind the hug, but I have also been thinking about you & all the rest that are living with this senseless fire, I wanted to gag when I heard on the TV today they believe it my have been intentionally set, what on earth would posses a person? Dawn, I did not forget you again:) getting to town when the PO is open has become a major challenge for me now, as my GF that normally we go once a week has started a new job & DH don't get home till after they close, I will get your box to you, I will have to hold off a bit on your refund, as the IRS comes WAY before anyone:( Marea, "Smart Brave Pacific Tree Frog" I would say he is:0) I love seeing them here, YES here in VERY cold NY. I often wonder how them tiny bodies can survive some of the winters I have had, I could do without the mating chirps, well never mind I will love hearing them again come spring, but after a month of them I can live without that sound:) SC Child Star is doing great, I am so glad my weather has been so great, it totally gave her time to settle in for me. Streps doing good too, Sedum, well lets just say I now know the name of what I already had all over:) Live & learn! Karen, Glad to see you posting, I was involved with a Calla Co-op at the other place, not Yahoo & mine did absolutely Beautiful after the rain stopped & they quit rotting 1 right after the other, Oh I was so sick to see that much money just go to waste, but then i think about what I have spent on a few Daylilies that did not make it & think it could be worse:) Hey if you ever find out how we get them frogs I want to know, I just drained the pond for the winter & had 8 frogs in it, why they don't stay across the road & hang out in a real pond is beyond me? I so would not trust that mare either!! Shirley, Hope all is well with you:) Hey I think you need to visit your thread at the other place about Iris you posted, I have no clue how I missed that back in July? Did you get all your Brugs taken care of? I am doing some trading & postage for a few double / triples, I so can't wait till they are big enough to bloom for me, Then I will have to get rid of some of my singles to make room, but it will be well worth it. How did you make out with the Iris we traded? I think I did better than I thought I was going to, but really won't know till spring, I am seeing green on many that had none on, so I will hope for the best. Hi Cindy, Jean, Mama G, Mary S, Mary B, Cody, Jo, Carol, Roxy, Barb, Sharon & anyone else in our group, miss you all & hope I will have more time now that I have about gotten everything taken care of for winter. Anyone on here looking for any Brug's? I have a few cuttings rooted. They are only single blooms, it's going to be a bit before I will have any DBL's/TRP's to share. Well got run DH will be home & I have nothing for him to eat, YIKES...

Hi! Windy raw weather here, taking down leaves and nearly whole trees! Our weatherman says we get 2 Novembers here this year. Ah, but it is a VERY satisfying year to be following the OSU Buckeyes season! They did it again today - looks very like a championship year. Annie, so good to hear from you again. You always write such interesting posts. Susan - thank you so for the brugs and daylilies - they all look good. We'll have a brug forest if all my cuttings grow this year. I lost many last year - chose a poor medium and let some dry out - so I kept extras this year, and of course, they're all growing! 3 new varieties, tho, and that's always fun. Cindy - I love your seedlings! That little one is going to be awfully cute! Shirley - thanks for the photos! What a cute bunch you all are! Dawson is adorable. Don't you wish we could get these kids all together for a playtime? They'd have a blast! No great news here. Anybody wants some of my state quarters, besides Debbie, speak up or they'll end up in parking meters! Barb

I remember reading that...but it's still just as funny.... I am completely surprised that I didn't find a post from me on there...My DH has done a few things during our 42 years that I tell on him every now and then. patti
