For some reason I can't get the pictures smaller in photobucket. They have changed their whole format. Will post more later when I figure it out.

Shirley

Dawn & Sharon, forgot a HI, nice to see you both posting.

Crocus

Helleborus

Bearded Irises are doing nicely

Daffodils are abundant now

Daylilies are coming along nicely

Hyacinths smell up the whole yard

Shirley

Shirley your blooms are gorgeous! I have lots too but unfortunately Julie 'borrowed' my camera and it still hasn't returned home. Thats ok, I'm waiting on lots of Kenzie pics. We took her to see the Easter Bunny and she just laughed like she'd know him all her life, lol

Will post pics as soon as possible, gotta get my scanner working. Thanks for the pics, so nice to sit inside and still see spring doing its magic! I have hostas up like crazy this season, usually they're later.....go figure! I'm not complaining...........Daylilies too, which is normal. Its so exciting to go out there and find those extra fans you didn't have last year, lol.

Thanks again for posting your beauties!

Sassy

{{gwi:1257995}}
hugs proud gg-ma carol

Marea-At least you won't have all the weeds that I have to contend with...They grew all winter long and are everywhere.

Sassy-I never tire of seeing pictures of the little baby doll. Why don't you consider coming to the Asheville, NC plant swap. It's going to be lots of fun and have lots of plants. Have I convinced you yet?

Carol-What a precious little bundle of joy. You should be proud. Love that picture.

Shirley

Happy belated birthday Marea, Devera needs her Talon fix, here she is posing for him
{{gwi:1259716}}
come on Talon how can you resist that. everyone here has daffs up but me, mine are up but won't openMamma G I want a hug where is ya?

One more for Shirley: tag near it says Forge Fire... This section was disturbed by our dog and I replaced the tags as best I could but this one is obviously misplaced :-)

{{gwi:1259717}}

Paul, you are too funny with the missing tags. Sure Glad I'm not the only one. I'm afraid Shirley has sent me 'several' Iris over the years and I'm lucky to have 2 that have kept their name tags. Sorry Shirley.

Carol and Sassy, the baby pics are sooooo cute.

Sassy, your brother lives in a beautiful area!!!

Brittneys Prom Saturday April 12th 2008

Shirley

Shirley, I literally said.......WOW! She is so beautiful and you have every right to be sooooo proud! Hope she had a great time. LOL, us oldies should post our prom pics, wouldn't that be a hoot? lol

Paul, those iris are beauties too. Really pretty! I'll have a few pics in a day or so, some just about ready. Its so hard waiting on them to just bloom already! lol

Sassy

Shirley, I think she looks just like you! Beautiful!
By the way it was snowing here on April 12th.

The highest point of rocks is about 4 ft high. We only have 50 ft. of lake frontage and about 35 ft of it is pushed up. :o(

{{gwi:10494}}
See all the ice on the lake ... it was almost all gone by the time we left at 2 pm on Sunday. It melts soooo fast.
The lake it about 8 miles long and one mile wide.
sharon

Oh what beautiful young lady Shirley!!!

The grand babies are SO CUTE..just want to kiss them
all over..hehe

Well just wanted to link slide show of the things
hubby has been making.hehe
Click on view all.Silly me

Cool art! Tell him good job!!
Karen

Shirley.........I have a bud on America's Most Wanted!!! ...........lol It didn't bloom this early last year..........oh well, I'm tickled to see it!

Shirley Brittney is beautiful bet she had a handsome prom date. my dh got my veggie gardens made box is my coldframe

today we got my frame up for my greenhouse

Sharon-Wow the ice did push those rocks out of the water. I have never seen anything like that before.

Thanks for all the compliments about Brittney. Do you know when you save change it never looks like it is as much as it turns out to be. Well...I have this jar that counts change as you put it in so I am filling it with quarters to give to Brittney on her graduation day. It should hold close to $300.00 or more (I'm still working on getting it full). I'm going to offer her a check for $100.00 OR the money in the jar. Her Mom laughed and said she will think the check is more and take it. That is what I hope she does and then I can tell her you just turned down $300.00 for a $100.00 check Brittney. Of course after kidding with her awhile I will give her the money jar.

Dirtpig-I can't pull up your pictures...Boo Hoo

Carol-I love all the projects you have started...I'm so jealous of your soon-to-be greenhouse...I want one.

Sassy-Wow that daylily bud is early...My irises are just now budding, it will be awhile for the daylilies.

Got to get packed, we are leaving for Stone Mountain, Ga.
All my family have campers so we are leaving this morning and will be back Monday.

Shirley

AND I get to choose 3 daylilies from her list!
{{gwi:1259727}}

I'm blown away for real, Anita, thank you!!

Carol, Wow!!! I love the large vegetable garden! You have got to tell me what you are going to grow and take at least one more picture just before the Big Harvest!!!
And TWO ... not ONE ... But TWO Greenhouses .... WOW!
I'll have to take a picture of my puny one ... I love it anyway. LOL

Shirley and Marea, I will put my message to you on the main thread. :o)
sharon

I will try to post progression photos. 2x the size of our last garden, so weeds weeds weeds, fun fun fun. hugs carol

I actually have a name for this one... Pink Taffeta, but it looks darker... almost orange. There's a slight lemony scent also. Another missed tag I'm guessing.

{{gwi:1259728}}

And for a good laugh... a vintage from 1985:

{{gwi:1259729}}

That's my wife-to-be Shirley at her prom. I was a year ahead, so for my prom, I went with someone else... I think Shirley "accidently" dropped that photo in the fireplace :) What were you expecting... a mullet?

{{gwi:1259730}}



Wow, Paul, you two make a stunning couple! A mullet? LOL I knew you were handsome from seeing your beautiful children...
That IS fun! Here is a photo of Herb & I in the late 80's... We're through that phase, too.
{{gwi:1254953}}

Marea-I remember that photo...still love it.

Paul-The bearded iris you think is pink taffeta is orange flirt.
