Heeeey, WHERE'S AD???????????????????? D:-) emoticon for angelic...

Lol, um Boxo, that's not AD hidden above Livin' Easy in the Beau-quet either I'm thinking....Hoping the AD will soon show up again...

I love Hansa and the Livin' Easy and Easy Goin. Just fabulous! Your Hansa makes me regret every day for not waiting for a 2012 Hansa. My horrible naked/dead-bushes' spot had to be filled-- but every time I look at your gorgeous Hansa I think that spot should have waited out the torturous 2011.

ummm, Boxo Jim has forbidden me to write on his thread until he says it's o.k. hehe. He's doing some crazy experiment (sigh) You can write but he told me not to. I gave him the Big Lewbowski and told him Duuude, Duuuude, sorry Dude, you have until noon... lol, hummmm. Or do you think I should let him have his experiment. If you only knew the story behind it, you'd be saying Duuuuuuude too!

But back to your Roses they are looking just MAGNIFICENT!!!! Yeah and whoo-hoo! Just for you I looked up the symbol for a summer cocktail toast. \~/ Cheers to your gorgeous garden!

Please send the rain to Toronto, we could use it.

Yesterdays temps. 35.5�C= 96F, but with the humidity it felt like 49�C=120�F.

KG, You would be wrong on that AD assumption, that is in fact the Honorable Mr. Darby. Hansa is awesome if even just for that impeccable crinkly foliage ! I also like it because it supplies a bit different shade than any of my others. Not to worry about Jim, me thinks he's a bit bossy for my taste anyways VBEG . Unfortunately, my Oklahoma got a bit freeze dried and one caned over the winter and it would NOT surprise me if that's one of a very few I am graced with :-(

inga, I have done pushed send >>>>>>>>>TORONTO with HASTE :-) We have ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS AND 80 for this W/E and it's about dang time !!!!!

Jim Bob, I broke with tradition this fine Friday evening and had both a Carona and lime and a MR and Mrs T Bloody Mary. I have had a very hectic last two weeks and it only seemed prudent :-)

Thanks seil, it's times like these that my relationship with HC is on the warm side of the scale ;-)

As for AD, I'm embarrassed. From the view/angle I thought hmmm is that AD or is it Sunset Celebration...hmmm. I shudda ate my parents' hemp seeds first and blamed it on that, hahaha! I'm actually writing from my parents' house. My mom bought a bag of hemp seeds from the Wild Oats Market and it is DELICIOUS! lol! So between imaginary tequila lounging at Boxo's Garden and hemp seeds I am STOKED, haha! The hemp seeds are shaped and taste similar to sesame seeds but they are actually more tasty because they are meatier and have a very sweet cashew taste to them...They go delicious with the Costco crab cakes, lol! and Japanese rice. When I make my own gourmet crab cakes I will definitely use have to get a bag of those hemp seeds.

Cheers and will talk soon! Whoo-hooooo! Whoo-hoooo! Oh, forgot, you must give me a botanical lesson on how to tell Phlox's apart from Hydrangea. You grow both, and I embarrassed myself again with my Dad. He said I know my plants! That is a Hydrangea, when I said uhhhh, isn't that a Phlox? hee-hee! I am not! on my game tonight, lol!

Boy that splains a lot.......hemp seeds ;-)

To help overcome your embarrassment I offer the following.......

I have the hardest time capturing true color on this but here is WS2000 anyways

whoo-hoo, whooo-hooo for AD!

My Oklahoma blooms never get that big. Plus they don't smell. Another wonder if we don't get hot enough here.

Yours Easys are spectacular as always. Love them!!!

Really lovin' your Hot Cocoas.

You did well!!!! :)
