I received Moon Flower, Money Plant, Balloon Flower, Hollyhock and Early Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas!!!!!!!!!!! A HUGE thank you to http://msgreenthumbjean.blogspot.com (please tell me it was from you, I have been going through all of my notes and you are the only one I can come up with from the state listed on the envelope)..........I can hardly wait to do the research on when and where to plant them.....feel free to hand any advice my way!!!

Saturday and Sunday.......

My husband and I love to sit around a fire when the weather is cool. After working in the yard Saturday this is what we did Saturday evening.

Today, Sunday, November 23, 2008 after church the girls and I went to buy paint for what use to be the playhouse but will soon become my garden shed.

Before..

During..

Color - La Fonda Geranium Red

After! I still have a lot of work to do, plant flowers around it, stencil some wonderful saying on the front, put up some hanging pots............you know, my mind has decorated the shed and around it 100 times if it's done it once!!

It will be a cute, special place and I am so grateful that the girls WANTED to help me! Will post photos as I continue to work on it. Any suggestions?

Smile..... Will Pass It On In The Morning.......

The greatest award yet! Why? No strings attached. I received this from Dorothy at http://mawdot.blogspot.com I am glad that I can make someone smile. You do not have to pass this award on or tell your deepest secrets. If you want to let someone know they make you smile...........pass it on. I would pass this on to every blog I visit, at sometime or another they all make me smile. Because there is no pressure or time limit I think I will pass this on in the morning. Thanks Dorothy, glad I can make you smile!!

He's At It Again!

Yep, he made icicles for me again! It is supposed to get into the 70's this coming week so, you won't have to worry about seeing icicles for a while, at least not from me. It's cool though,

to see how the water freezes on the weeds,

trees,

branches,

grass

and leaves.

I guess the weight of the ice made these lean as if the wind were blowing, we know the wind wasn't blowing or it wouldn't haven't got this cold here.

I hope you weren't too bored with icicles again! Florida Fun!!

Tag You Are It!

Okay, got tagged again. This one is 6 things about me that you do not know. Thank you tile lady http://daughterm.blogspot.com/ for thinking of me. (Love the pic of the ladies)! 1. I was a gymnast for 12 years.

2. I was a widow at the age of 24 with two children.

3. I found my biological father at the age of 18.

4. Children, not flowers are my gift in life and I make Super Nanny look stupid.

5. I had a home burn down because of lightning.

6. All of these things have made me the person I am today linking me with the person I need to be with, doing the things that make me happy. No matter the pain that was felt, I would NOT change a thing. God is good! None of this took Him by surprise and since I am created in His image, really, why should I be surprised?! ( I could and should write a book)
I hope that the people I tag will tell us a little about them, I find this interesting.
AND the winners are...........

It can be time consuming, although I like learning about the people I am ALREADY sharing my life with. Relax, enjoy and share!!!

Salvia

I tried to describe this type of Salvia to someone in comments some time ago. I think it's Dancing Flame van houetti? My neighbor rooted a piece for me, it's new to her this year as well. I am trying to root it too, I don't know if it will come back...any ideas?
