    Happy birthday, Plantoneonme! And how did you spend your day? Sounds like chellflower had a pretty good day! Wish you could send some of that rain my way :)
    I think I need to revise my wish list to "drought plants only!" HA!

    Well how did I spend my day...

    It started out very sweet. I had my granddaughter Jordan over last night and at the very first light she came to snuggle in my bed as she always does. She has always said since she could talk, "Gramma, its a beautiful day!" What a great way to wake up in the morning. Then we made pancakes for breakfast and read stories. She is only 4 but is beginning to read which is so cool since she gets so excited when she actually recognizes the words....anyway, we then went to Lowes where I purchased another grow light for starting seeds in a couple weeks. We then spent some time outside trimming the apple tree.

    Then the day got boring because I had to work...no problem though since it was an extra day it was OT which we could really use. The best news of the day was my son finally won his appeal for unemployment and got his first check so I don't have to pay all their bills anymore (only a few now).

    So it guess to some it would seem pretty boring but hey its my birthday and I had a good day. Thanks so much to all of you for making it special too. Kim

    It's sounds like a GREAT day, Kim! Oh, and how wonderful that your son is doing so much better financially! I'm still keeping him in my prayers, but am very glad to hear the wonderful news. That's a great birthday present, too!

    Blessings,

    from dimples" ( Just think, You're here not by chance, but by God's choosing. his hands formed you and made you the person you are. He compares you to no one else- you are one of a kind. you lack nothin that His grace can't give you. He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation.) i absolutely love that!! she noticed i love hummingbirds and sent me some lavender moonvine seeds, Thank you so much!! Hugs

    and this adorable 3d like thing you turn and it changes pics!! talla took over that right away, but amazingly she asked!! and said please!! WOOO HOOOO!!! we have manners!! **big smile**
    thank you so much!! Hugs

    and last but not least!! this one is so unique!! i absolutely LOVE it!! it made my day!! its from wind-red,
    they they said happy birthday in their language!! WOW i was so impressed!! i thought it was the absolute neatest thing!!
    they sent
    snowball cauliflower, waltham 29 broccoli,
    early jersey cabbage, long island improved brussel sprouts, purple romance hollyhock
    Thank you so much!! Hugs!! this will be a great garden!! with that and the spinach!! :')


    THE FUNNY:
    as soon as hubs gets MY pc fixed or i get a new one, well what i call a new one, (new to me) i have to show ya'll some awesome pics!! mason (our dog 9 1/2 mo) absolutely LOVES our lopped eared rabbit, and what's amazing to me is that she loves him too!! ever since we started letting them two hang out together, now she licks our nose!! LOL (the rabbit) its so funny!! they just snuggle up together! and last night when i put snowy clowy up, mason lightly grabbed ahold of her leg with his teeth, but it was ever so lightly!! it was the neetest thing i'd seen!! :')

    THE BAD:
    then remember i'd said that the doc's at my place had said i was "bipolar" ? well, then i was thinking maybe it could be thyroid and diabetes, since my mom has both? well, we thought we'd ruled out the diabetes since i had took the two hour test and it was a negative, well, then i remembered that when i took my meds i also took my chromium picolnate, which also lowers your blood sugars. and that was during the first 15 min of the test. so now i have to retake that test. only now we are going to go to his docs because they are not gov funded. so with all this and me being tired all the time, i've kinda been out of it the past few weeks!! and after breakfast this morning, it was 158 after 2 hrs!!! ****EEKS**** so i'm like seriously freaking here. for me!!

    ok, onto

    THE AWESOME:
    last night we decided to take the kids with us for our birthday dinner!! and we trusted mason by his self alone at the house!! we went to El Mes Cal sp? it was great!! hubs got somekinda big burrito and for a change was happy!! LOL talla got the usual, nacho's and chips w chees!! is there anything other!! **sigh** and tabor had this burrito real, i don't really know what that consists of, but he BARELY finished it!! WOW for him!! i had a nacho supreme with cheese and a side of 1 chile relle sp. brought most of it home, but i really did want it!! LOL i knew that i would bring it home, but i wanted both!!! **big smile**
    when we got home, mason did not tear up anything in the house, AND he didn't pee or poo in the house!! i was sooooo proud of that little (big) guy!! LOL
    i better get to vacuuming this floor again!! LOL they brought mud into the house again!! LOL i told them i pass up the dyson for a carpet cleaner, i'll get the dyson another time!! right now i have the NOISIEST vacuum!! i think it's even noisier than a shop/vac!! LOL **grin** Hugs ~Medo

    OH, I'm glad you brought that up, Medo! I forgot to say how wonderful the little gift from Chell was. I forget what you call those things that you turn and see cool things in. I loved it, too!

    I didn't get to my mailbox yesterday, but I did today. Here's what I got with my mailboxing:

    Suecirish: Thanks, Sue for the medicinal herbs! I'm going to grow both the Feverfew and Valerian with excitement! The card was just my style, too!

    Ok, I know I haven't posted in a few days but I'm here now to give some thank-you's!

    First I'd like to thank Cathy (Mao) for the card and 5 packets of seed she sent: Hibiscus Blue River 2 (I really wanted these!), Dinnerplate Hibiscus (I love those!), four o'clocks, burgundy gaillardia (can't wait to try!), and Intense Purple Amaranthus! I actually received these a few days ago and am sorry I didn't post as soon as I got them to let you know they arrived. I must add that I LOVE your handmade seed envelopes...they are just beautiful!

    Next I'd like to thank my "GardenWeb buddy" Sue (suecirish) for her card, the Garlic Chives (one of my wishes!), and the Red Feathers Poppy (I have seen these and I can't wait to see them in my garden!). Your seeds definitely have me "thinking spring"-- it is almost here, YAY!

    From Toni (zinaray), I got a card with Tulip Poppies, Star of Yelta morning glory (oooo so pretty!), and Violas (commercial seed pack -- thanks so much!). Thanks for thinking of me on my birthday, Toni! I love the seeds!

    And last but not least, I got such a pretty floral card from Cindy (alwaysagarden). She sent Red Peony Poppies and Double Shirley Poppies! I just fell in love with poppies a few months ago and now my garden will be full of them! Thanks so much!

    As for me, I have yet to send out my cards to some of you February babies, but I will get to it as soon as possible. I regret the delay, but the past few days have been terrible for me. My sweet kitty became sick at Christmastime and she is now dying. She has been my faithful best friend for the past 20 years and I am heartbroken trying to come to terms with it. Your seeds and card are so much more appreciated considering my circumstance, as they bring some much-needed happiness to these sad days. I promise to type a little about myself on here when I get the time. Again, thanks so much to you all!

    JJ, I'm sorry to hear about your kitty. Just want you to know I feel your pain...its been 5 months since I lost my dog, Stormi Rayne to thyroid cancer, and I still miss her and think of her alot (when it rained the other night I kept thinking 'I need to let Stormi in the house' and then I'd remember she's not here). After more than ten years with her (I'd never before been owned by a pet for so long) I've gotten so used to taking care of her that its taking some time to let go completely. But time DOES heal.... I know the Lord needed her back for a special reason, and her pain is gone. Just be grateful for being blessed for so many years with your kitty (lots of memories) and spoil her with love while she's still with you! She's very lucky to own a human that loves her so much!

    JJ I am sorry to hear about your kitty. I had to put down my Elsa last fall due to bone cancer which ate away her bottom jaw. My daughter is a vet tech and we were able to take her to where she worked and were with her at the end. My daughter then surprised me with her ashes later. I know this may sound really gross but I wanted to do something in her memory and I found a really pretty stepping stone mold with an angel kitty with its paw around another kitty. I took some of Elsa's ashes and mixed them with concrete and made stones for my daughter and myself to put in our gardens. Now when I am out looking at my flowers I have something to remember her by.

    I hope the time you have left with her will help you through. Kim

    arrived in Texas today!!!!

    My 4 yr old, Logan, got upset cause the box was addressed to me (he'd helped Daddy answer the door when the USPS delivered it), so I let him go through the contents with me.

    Logan picked out B'day stickers - for himself!
    And (since 4 yr olds don't believe Mommy's can choose for ourselves), he helped me pick out:

    Hollyhock -peaches & dreams
    Wood anemone
    mex. shellflower
    mousepad calendar
    plant markers w/pen
    small notepad

    We had soo much fun going through the box! Now we get to shop tomorrow for items to put back in- Logan is really excited about that!!!

    Kym, we ALL liked the *special* gift from you! Thanks again for hosting such a fun swap!

    I wish I could reach out and give all of you a great big hug...not a cyber hug but a great big, put my arms around ya hug. You all have made this the most special birthday I can remember. I really wish I could adequately express how blessed I feel.

    I would like to also thank suecirish for the wonderful blue flowers she sent me platycodon gradiflorus, balloon flower Mariesii and centaurea montana, mountain bluet. I really wanted blue flowers and now I have a few more.

    Micyrey sent me a beautiful homemade card with sparkly hearts...I like sparkly and some wonderful flowers of Ratibida Mexican hat and echinacea tennesseenis along with bronze fennel for the swallow tail butterflies.

    Ellie/aphroditelaughs sent me my mostest (can I say mostest?) wanted seeds of Mexican sour gherkin!!! She also sent me dragon's tongue beans and black jet soybeans along with a really nice card which says I hope these seeds brighten your garden and nourish your soul...that is so nice since I am not only feeding my body but my soul as well.

    Again I cannot express enough how very special all of you have made me feel. I can actually feel the love radiating out of my computer. Kim

    I've got to tell you guys, it's good to read these threads when things are going wrong, or you're just having a really bad day. With all the warm wishes for one another, and sharing of truly cool days, this swap has been a real pick-me-up for me this month. So, even though y'all didn't know it, you've been helping me to "keep my head above the water". I'd originally planned on getting away on a bit of a trip this month, sort of a time to escape from everything that's gone on these past few months. But, in the first few days of February, I got some bad news about a situation which is still slowly resolving itself, though we don't know yet which direction the resolution is taking. So, here I am, still at home, waiting, wondering, and occasionally going a little crazy from worry. I've visiting this and other threads more lately, reading all the commentary though not always posting something myself. So, keep up the banter. For some of us out here, you all are a good dose of therapy and goodness, helping us cope even when you don't know it.

    Awwww... Dan... I want to give you a real hug, but hopefully this one (((((HUGS))))) will come true as real as possible! Reading what everyone writes touches me greatly, too. I feel just like Kim said... I can't say it any better... I've gone through so much this last year and didn't find you guys/gals until around August/September. I don't know what I would have done without this site being a place for me to escape and the love from you all is very real to me....

    I came back from mailboxing to be blown away once again... you guys/gals make my eyes water up... you're just amazing.... I received so much that makes my birthday month special to me... the words you write in the cards, the little things you say on the forum... Wow...

    I have a special thank you to say to Theresa (threas - and yes, I knew it was you! LOL) and to Ellie (aphroditelaughs) for the wonderful birthday cards and gifts they sent my way. It truly touches my heart!

    Ellie (aphroditelaughs) - What an awesome homemade (I think) paper card with a sweet note inside! I've never gotten a handmade paper card before! It was really cool! You could see a sprig of something in it that really emphasized this being a gardener's birthday card! I really appreciate all you sent: Scarlet Runner Beans, Baby Corn, Hooker's Sweet Corn, Fernleaf Dill, Calendula, Romanesco Artichoke, & Santo Cilantro! WoWWeee!! I am in awe... Thank you SO very much for these absolutely wonderful additions to my garden! I'm especially excited that the Artichoke is FROM Siena, Italy! I am so excited also to see many of my wants in there.

    Theresa (threas) - You are so dear to my heart, girl. Thank you for the lovely card and what you wrote. I want to drive right over and give you a big hug back! Thanks so much for the Goji Berry, Purple Prairie Clover, Artemisia Absinthium (Wormwood), AND the organic Sea Kelp! I'm sooo excited to have everything, but especially excited about the Sea Kelp because you had to be reading my mind! I've been wanting to try that on my plants. Thanks also for sending the best printed info for me, which is just SO thoughtful. I can't wait to plant and use everything!

    I've heard so many of my birthday buddies say this was their best birthday ever.... I totally agree... I gave up a long time ago on really having special birthdays, but you guys/gals blow me away! This has made me feel so cared for and appreciated and just plain special... Okay, no joke, I'm balling like a baby, so I'm gonna quit typing now... I love you all SO much!

    Blessings,
    Angela

    Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
    And a Big Happy Birthday to Zinaray!
    May everyone have a blessed and wonderful day!
    And I agree with Dan and Angela! I have been uplifted tremendously by the generosity and loving that everyone sends to all! Reading all the posts and things has also uplifted several of my bad days!! Thanks, Melinda

    Happy Birthday, Zinaray - Toni! Have a wonderful day!

    And hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day, too! My present from my DH was a hand-built grow-light shelf system for starting my seedlings inside. It's wonderful - DH is still a keeper after 33 years!

    I'm way behind on getting my cards out. I'm working on getting caught up. I wanted to pop in and wish all of the January babies and the first half of the February babies a Happy Belated Birthday.

    Theresa - I didn't know you work in a flower shop... Oh, you poor gal... I hope you have a nice evening after work!

    Sue - That man of yours really knows the way to his woman's heart! Yea! That's awesome!

    As for my Valentine's Day, I get to pick up two fruit trees from Wal-Mart. They had them for $18, and most of them were about 10 foot tall! Oh, I'm so excited! I don't know, but maybe I'll get fruit from them in 2 - 3 years. What do you all think?

    Blessings,
    Angela

    Wow, I wish our Wal-Mart had trees in yet. I am looking for some pecan, almond, and hazelnut trees this year! But doubt if will find them there. Probably have to order.
    Hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentine's Day!

    Happy Birthday Zinaray!!!! Hope its awesome!


    I had a great mailboxing experience today!!! I recieved some seeds that I thought I hadn't even ordered yet! ( I get loopier with each passing bday! but I'm not quite 'dimented' yet! LOL). I also recieved 3 Bday envies!!!....

    Ellie (aphrodite laughs) sent a homemade card (looks like she made the paper too! How cool!) with Dutchman's Pipe Vine, Moons & Stars watermelon, Wisteria Blue caroline and Cherimoya (A BIG want from my list!!!!)

    Michelle (micyrey) also sent an adorable handmade card (I love handmade gifts!!!)..red with red/white gingham hearts and a cute ceramic heart attached (Hmmm, wonder if Michelle does scrapbooking?!?). She sent Pansy clear crystal mix, salvia rose queen (should look great in my cactus garden!) and ox-eye daisy.

    Sue (suecirish) sent a nice green card with dragonfly/flowers, watering can and garden tools and a sweet bday message. Inside were two more from my want list-Coleus 'King Mosaic'(very cool looking!) and
    Geranium 'Reflections'

    Wow! What a great Valentine's Day! I couldn't be happier if hershey bars grew on trees! Thanks so much for all of the wonderful seeds !!!!! This is the best swap I've ever joined!!! Its nice to have so many wonderful, caring friends all on one forum!!!I feel so blessed I think I'm gonna cry (..tears of JOY!)

    Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
