Hello everyone! I'm back and both of the Robins have landed back home! Thank you to everyone on the Blue Robin for the lovely trinkets! They will be put to good use! And Red players, you out-did yourselves with two full zippy-bags of seeds! Holy Mackerel!

I have sifted, sorted, separated, and refreshed all the Robins, and they will fly tomorrow! Just like the real ones outside my window today, these 3 robins are starting out FAT!!!

    Just want to say that a couple weeks ago it took 9 days for a package with delivery confirmation and priority mail to get from me to Veeja. It was worrisome but neither priority postage nor delivery confirmation guarantees Anything. I believe that "Express mail" does guarantee the length of transit time but that is really expensive.
    Delivery confirmation at least proves that you did mail it.

    Debbie..sent me a confirmation# in the mail,(she forgot to put it on the package...but I haven't received any package yet...just the envelope with the confirmation# Thanks,Jody

    Beth - you are absolutely correct - but when it's really not that far - and was sent priority - that they would at least have something in place to fill out BEFORE 14 business days. Their attitude was just as flip - but we are at their mercy.

    I know it will make it - but I hate the wait......

    Hi Debbya..at least I don't feel so bad getting mine out so late..lol..I'm glad yours got out a couple days late also,that makes me feel a little better,but I'm really still am sorry about it..but there's nothing I can do when I get sick/ill/feel like dying...Hep C really can get you down,now it's starting to attack my joints and causing my osteoarthritis..which for me is very painful...I had fun with this one..I love sending extras..
    Debbya..Thanks for the private e-mail,I'm glad you liked the extra hen and chicks,dragon's blood sedum and heirloom veggies seeds I sent you...I love sending goodies to people...I love surprises and I think everyone else does also..I hope the veggie seeds do well for you :-)
    Happy Gardening Everyone...Oh I forgot to post what I took from the baggie and since I have sooo many seeds I was taking a big gamble on joining this Robin...I did find a few goodies..I think I took out about 10 pks and added about 50 plus the extras I sent Deb in a diffeent baggie..what ever you don't want from the heirlooms I hope you passed on someone might want them.I also saw several Robins day before yesterday,about 30 in a group...only a few miles east of me,I haven't seen any here at home
    yet..:-(
    I'm getting Lots of Gold Finches I started feeding thistle when we had that ice storm and I knew the birds were going to be dying since they couldn't get any food at all it was all frozen solid...I'm glad I had 5 lbs. of it and a giant bag of sunflowers seeds,because I tried to buy another bag when i went to town a few days later after I could get out of my driveway,that took 3 days..anyway they are starting to find their thistle socks and feeders,Why does thistle cost Soooo much... :-( It's just not fair because not all birds eats sunflower seeds,and most people won't buy it or can't afford to feed it..bummer...before long I'll be able to tell the Gold Finches apart...who the boys and girls are...in the winter the boys look almost like the girls..but Hey once you get them and keep feeding them...some will stay all year round..:-)
    I added way more seeds than I took out didn't you find anything good from the Robin Deb? you never mentioned anything here on the thread,and I started feeling guilty for not telling everyone what great seeds I picked out...thanks again DebbieC and mmqchdygg for starting this Robin..:-) Thanks again...Jody

    Hi - Robin was received on Friday & will go out Monday afternoon. What a collection! I took some okra, arugula, liriope, & a few others, & added a bunch of stuff. One poor little pack must have broke open. I think it's poppy seeds! So be careful when you open it Alice! I had them all over the table by the time I was done :)
    Thanks to everyone!

    Anyone up for a little Pick-a-Seed Challenge?
    Here's the stats:
    Red is on #7 of 13
    Blue is on #5 of 13
    Green is on #5 of 13

    We can pick up some SERIOUS speed once this thing hits New England...
    Let's shoot for 24hr or less turnaround, and get this Robin back home before the Blue Team!

    If we pick up enough speed, we might even catch the Red team!

    Go Green!!!

    I don't know about anyone else but that sounds like a throw down -

    the robin landed at my door last night. however I worked a 12hr shift yesterday and didn't get a chance to look thru it before heading to bed. Hopefully I will get a chance to look thru it tonight and drop it off at the post office on sunday.

    Has anyone heard from Daphne? Haven't seen a post on this thread for a while..... just checking!

    Brenda

  • columbusgardener
    16 years ago

    I am sorry it looks as if the Robin may be a goner - I have written to Daphne several times with no responce. I have even offered to go and pick it up to get it on it's way. She has a responce on the board as to her excitement about receiving it and then nothing.... I am at a loss as to where to go from here, it's a matter of trust,

  • flowergardenlady
    16 years ago

    Hello Everyone,
    Just checking in to see where the Robin is but I see there is a problem. Hopefully we will hear from Daphne soon. I'm looking forward to getting the Robin.
    I hope all is well with Daphne and hope nothing has happened to prevent her from contacting us.

    I have delayed the robin again girls. I am so sorry but I have been in the bed on and off for the last few days with a terrible headache from my allergies. For some reason they are trying to do me in this year! I will get it out first thing in the am. Was hoping to drop it in the mail on my way to the doctors office tomorrow, but they called me back and cancelled my appointment. So I will suffer all the way to the mailroom! LOL! Hope it gets there fast!
