ROTFLMHO--Denny--you're such a card!!

And, I KNOOOOOW, what you mean--I hear those scary words from my 'husband', too!

Thankfully--I did a fast-count of the number of CD's he's purchased through the years and
now I tell him--that they are HIS hosta splurges! I feel SO MUCH BETTER, now!!

Did I mention the Delta Table Saw that just arrived??? Not a problem for me--just
more justification!

So---who has a SALE right now? hehehe ;o)

LOL cAROL--as soon as I posted that, I thought, "hmmmm, that looks too familiar"! Then I realized why!!!hahaha

I can't wait for you to see M.M. do her thing at your beautiful place!!!

I have planted all my largest potted hostas this weekend! But I have about 5 smaller quart (?) sized ones
yet to be heeled in for the winter, yet! I ca't wait to be done with this kind of 'maintenance'!! And, I'm
so excited to see what the ones I've planted will be doing next Spring!

BTW--our cAROL is a good person to get hosta from! I don't know if many of us know that or not and I hope
it's okay that I tell ya! I know I'll be back!!!

I got: 'Rain Dancer', 'Golden Meadows', 'Dance with Me', 'L.S. Ripples' and a GORGEOUS M.A. that is
extra special to me, and 'L.S. Down Sized' and a lovely helebores to boot! I'm very happy!
