Hello, I'm Bump, your host, and welcome to our second thread! Boxes are now flying across the United States, and the mayhem of trying to figure out who sent to who has begun. Meow! Here is a list of the current players... Becky/proudgm_03
I've got to get Dan off to work, and then find something for Stella to do today so she doesn't interrupt my mid-morning nap (which is NOT to be confused with my morning nap OR my late-morning nap!), so I will talk with you all later.

| And an update to the map. 9 of the 11 tracking numbers have been accepted by USPS. Still waiting for Kathy to get hers out the door, and I don't know if Mark's has been mailed yet.
Sorry the symbols and colors changed. That happened when I added the names. Now I've dallied here too long, and I'll probably be late to meed my associates this morning. Oh, well, they can't go far without me - I have the keys to the rental car! ~CA |

| I have to WAIT?? Oh. Guess I missed that part. Well, GOSH DARN. That doesn't seem fair! :P |
|
| If I had any influence over Bunny, her eldest would be an only child!! Not that she does not grow beautiful little ones but I could not handle the brood she created. She is much more adventuresome than I could ever be. Thank God for our bunny even if she does seem to jump to conclusions!! diene |

| WOW!!! My post people are quick, look how far down the map my box has gotten. Hey, is it who got the first three boxes sent to the post office first or is it who's box got to their partners first? HeHe. Denise |

| here is my tracking # 0307 0020 0001 9989 6822 Yahoo!!! =) |

| Wow, Denise! Your box seems to be the only one that's moved anywhere. But I shouldn't be surprised - your April box did get to me in ONE DAY. Big thanks to Kathy for posting those links. It sure makes tracking easier. I want to update the map, but I'd love to have more boxes to add to it - get those boxes out and DC numbers posted, garden swappers! Let's see lots of lines cris-crossing the USofA! Denise's line is so pretty, I can't resist posting the map again, while I wait for the USPS to update everyone else's tracking.
(If anyone thinks the joy of clicking on those tracking numbers is spoiled by me posting this map, just let me know and I'll stop!) ~CA |

| To answer Denise/antiqueorchid's question, the 3 prizes were to go to the first three people who sent out their boxes. I just checked the first thread to make sure, and the first three people who posted their delivery confirmation numbers with sent boxes were... (drum roll please) Cheryl/sakura_komichi Karen/kalena67 Linda/lindazuricka CONGRATULATIONS YOU THREE!!! You'll be receiving something in the mail from me this month. And no, it will not be used kitty litter! -Bump p.s. Isn't it great to see so many flying boxes??? Here's what it looks like behind the scenes at the post office, according to Dan anyway... |
|
| Well the only thing Denise's box tells me is I am not the recipient. Boo Hoo!! Dan, I think I have seen those guys at the local post office here which is why I do not go there. diene |

| I protest the contest winners! This contest is rigged for the cats! I have to admit, I am not a cat. For years, my nemesis has been chasing me.
If you look back at the thread, Bunny was the first to post then I flew over here and typed mine in. I had to catch stitch first and shove him in the box! So much for being under cover in this swap. I guess I am now open season for the rest of you! |

I told myself I wasn't going to udpate the map until my parcel moved - but I got tired of waiting. And there's some good movement of OTHER packages. Thanks to Carol, I had to expand the coverage of the map.  Well, it's obvious neither Denise's nor Melissa's box is hearding in my direction. But what about Karen's? (please, please, pretty please?) And if you want to know who actually mailed boxes first (as opposed to being on line to post confirmation numbers), I'll refer to my trusty data I've captured for map-making (I did mention my geekiness, right?) Just stirring the pot here (doesn't really matter to me whether you go by posting or mailing, I'm in either way). Off to click Kathy's links again.... ~CA |

| First of all, I LOVE THE MAP!!! 2nd of all, I'm gonna really throw you guys a loop, and tell you, I mailed my package off today. Conf# 0306 2400 0003 0183 3483 And 3rd, I forgot one of the most important things in my package before I mailed it. :( The chocolate!!!! I had candy, but forgot to put it in. Joan |

| Mark, having your package ready to go isn't the same as having sent it, even if you did have the dc# on it. Remember, the prizes were to go to those who sent first, not those who were ready to send, silly dog-lover! And, as sometimes happens in the sportsworld, the winners were announced, but the photo-finish is what we have to bow down to. After consulting with the USPS, the line-up of winners is now officially... Cheryl, Karen, and Melissa. Sorry Linda! Now, as a consolation prize for Linda, she will be receiving a special day of sunshine, breezes, and a soothing cup of tea with a plate of brownies just for her. Enjoy them Linda! Cheryl, Karen, and Melissa will be receiving their mystery prizes in the mail sometime this month. (Now, where DID Dan put those addresses???) Have a good day everyone, with plenty of naps to enjoy! And yes Mark, you're forgiven for being a dog-lover and are welcome to take those catnaps too! For now, anyway. Purrs & Bellyrubs! -Bump |

| Well, my box should have went out this morning. I was planning to finish it yesterday afternoon and have it ready for Cliff to take to work with him this morning. However, when I came back in here to work on finishing it, I checked my email. In it I found a wonderful little email from the company that I ordered my patio set from telling me that they were crediting me for my return. What return, I asked myself. I never received the table! The table that I have been waiting for almost three weeks to arrive. The table that goes with the 6 assembled chairs that are and have been, sitting out under my gazebo for almost three weeks, looking very sad and lonely. The table that I had intended to use this weekend to entertain family and friends for Mother's Day. The table that is the part of the set that Cliff and the kids got me for Mother's Day, so that after the surgery, there will be something that first month in my backyard that I can completely enjoy. The table that I have been watching for so eagerly to arrive because we were planning to use it this weekend in the last family holiday I am going to get to enjoy before my surgery and the two youngest boys will be gone for a month because I won't be able to care for them in that first month after the surgery. The table to the set that we'd seen in the Wal~Mart I worked at, tried out to see how well I could get up and down from the chairs, went home to think about for 2 days, then went back to buy and it had sold, and Karen didn't know when they would get another one in.So, we decided to have it delivered to the house because Wal~Mart.com had it in stock. Can you tell I'm just a little upset? Ohhh, well, it gets better! I finally called the Wal~Mart I worked at until this thing with my back flared up in January to get the number for Wal~Mart.com because there is NO customer service number anywhere on the website. After they tracked that number down for me, I called them. I was told that the table had been returned to them for damage during shipping. Then, that they could not order the table to be re-shipped separately from the chairs. REally?! Because I know it does ship separately in two boxes because I have the chairs outside in my gazebo right now! Well, yes, it ships in two separate boxes, but cannot be ordered separately. We will have to have UPS pick up the chairs and return those, we'll go ahead and refund the half for the table to your credit card, then once we get the chairs, we'll credit that half. The chairs? So you're telling me I have to disassemble the chairs that have been on my gazebo for three weeks, box them and wait for UPS to pick them up? The box which we threw away because it was so damaged in shipping that we were worried that they were damaged- the box that was more shipping tape than cardboard? Well, if you can't find a free box, we can credit you for up to $15 to purchase another box to pack them in. Then, once we have everything back and everything has been credited back to your card, we can help you reorder the set, which is out of stock online at the moment, and then we will credit your account for the cost to ship it, waiving that shipping fee for you. No, we can't expedite the shipping for you, even though we know it's really been a huge inconvenience to you and no one should have to deal with this. No, if you happen to find that your local store has it in stock again, then we can't issue a store credit towards it because the .com area and the stores are under the same umbrella but essentially different divisions with different policies. They can accept returns ordered from the .com department, but we can't issues a credit or anything like that to use in the store for something like this. So you would have to fully purchase it at their price. Alright, that sounds really harsh, and the young woman who was assisting me on the phone was very sympathetic and felt that it should be expedited for free as well as waiving the shipping costs, but her supervisors said no. She was very helpful and spent two hours with me on the phone trying to find more that she could do to make this better. To say that I am upset and disappointed is mild. I was expecting to see the table today at the latest. We ordered that particular set because the chairs are very well made and were very easy for me to get in and out of right now with as badly as I'm hurting, so we figured that I would still be able to enjoy them after the surgery and be able to sit out there and enjoy my backyard while recovering. So, I was dealing with that all afternoon, then had to call Cliff and tell him. The only good note is, that I called the stored I worked at and they do actually have it in stock right now. So, we're going to package up the chairs for this set and have them ready for UPS to pick up, or perhaps we'll just leave the not assembled ones in the box and let UPS pick that up, and go ahead and purchase the set at the local store and still be able to have it for this weekend. So, that's my reason for not mailing out today, as planned. I am going to finish my box today and have it ready and Cliff will run it to the PO tomorrow while he's off work. I'm really sorry about this, but I was so upset over the table, I know, kind of silly, but at the same time not, then Cliff and I discussing the problem and calling to see if the local store had it again, then cooking and homework with the boys. The evening was gone before I knew it. All that said and off my chest (and I do feel a little better now, but I'm still torn between being royally POed and crying when I think about it) here are the updated links :) Melissa 0309 0330 0000 5379 3115 If I missed anyone, let me know :) CA, I think the map is great!

What the heck, Kat?! Are you SERIOUS?!  That makes ME upset. I don't blame you for being royally ticked. And feeling like crying. OhMiGOODNESS, I can NOT believe that. That is ridiculous. Oh, I wish I could make you feel better- I know...I know.... Lemme get them for you, Kat....

| Kathy, girl, that is the STUPIDEST thing I believe I've ever heard! I am sooo sorry for all the crap they are giving you. You're a better person than I am hon, cause in that 2 hour phone call, I'd have wound up giving someone a very impolite piece of my mind. Joan PS - Go Attack Bunny! :) |
|
- Posted by lindaruzicka Z6 PA (My Page) on Wed, May 6, 09 at 10:46
| that royally SUCKS! I think you should write a letter to the CO of the company..and tell him that you told an entire gardening website about it! |
|
| Hey Kathy; I would not box up the chairs, I would let the UPS guy do it. That is certainly not your problem. And if you used a credit card, all you need to do is call the credit card company and tell them the story. They will credit Walmart.com for the missing table. After you have your new set all organized, I would go into action, try the Better Business Bureau also, Walmart is not exempt. This can be your mission for your pre op and post op to keep your mind off your aches and pains. Nothing like a good fight to distract one from every day woes. Sorry for the hassle but make it work for you. diene |
|
| Kathy, that is awful! I'm sorry you're having such a day. I've come down with a cold/fever, and feel miserable. I've spent the morning in bed, feeling a tad sorry for myself, and THEN the mailman came!! :) I received my package from Joseph!! He sent me: A very pretty and healthy division of Hosta Plant Tags, And some treats! 2 bags of Starburst Gummi Bursts (I was very selfish, ate them myself) Thank You SOOO much Joseph! I love everything!! It sure has been fun watching the boxes move! Thanks for hosting the swap, Bump! I'm going to keep following everyones boxes yet. And I'm excited to have been one of the first 3 to have my box sent! You promise no kitty litter?? lol. Have a great day everyone! I'm going to lay down again for a bit. Will probably go see the Dr. this afternoon. Need to know what to tell my daycare families, otherwise I'd just tough it out. :0) Karen |
|
| Well I know where one of those boxes is not landing today, my mailman just came and went, no box for diene. That is okay, good things come to those who wait. |
|
| That table and chair story is just awfull......so sorry that is happening to you Kathy. I didn't notice my package on your list...had published my confirmation number for mine mailed on Monday on the previous thread, but here it is again: 0308 3390 0001 7025 7419. Hope it is almost to it's new home. Yea!!! |

| Great box, Karen! I haven't had time to update the map today (I've been in meetings all day), but I do see that at least two more folks should be getting their boxes today - and one is the box I sent! Map coming in a few hours ~CA |
|
- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Wed, May 6, 09 at 13:39
| The mailman didn't bring me anything either, Diene! Oh well....like you said, good things ARE worth waiting for! :O) |
|
| Yeah, it really sucks and I'm still steaming over it. I fully intend to raise all kinds of chaos about this. After a month of waiting, it's really rather sad that this was how we were treated. Excellent box Joseph and Karen! You did a wonderful job, Joseph! I'm sorry I missed yours Pat, I'm still blaming things like that on the pain medications :P And Diene wanted me to go ahead and post hers, which she emailed to me privately, for reasons that will become apparent. So here's the latest clickable tracking list :) Melissa 0309 0330 0000 5379 3115 AND while I was typing this up, my mail man rang the bell with a package for me from Linda!!!!! So, of course the post had to sit and wait until I rummaged through the goodies! Linda sent me: Seeds: Plants Lmab's Ear Thank you so much, Linda! You made this last RR swap for me for several months very special! I'm gonna have the bratlings plant them all out this weekend, I'm hoping the daily great flood we're having lately will slack off so everything I have to plant out won't drown! Kathy~ off to take a nap, hopefully! |

Time to update the map – with deliveries! I think I’ve captured everyone who posted DC#s that the USPS recognizes. Kathy we know hasn’t mailed yet (so sorry to hear about your table troubles), Deb and Heather have posted DC#s, but they don’t show on the tracker (Deb’s may just not be showing yet, sometimes it takes until evening. Heather, you may want to confirm you posted the correct number). Only Allison has not posted a DC# yet.  Has anyone else noticed that Dan’s parcel is the only one that hasn’t moved anywhere? Now, I don’t know him well, but from what I’ve read on these swap threads, he can be a bit of a prankster. Being the mailman that he is, does anyone else think he scanned a dummy DC slip into the system and then tossed it? I think the real box is traveling under a secret DC#. Or maybe I’m just paranoid. I drew white circles around the destinations of the boxes that have been received. Three that were posted in this thread and one that tracking says was delivered. I haven’t drawn all the lines, because I don’t want to give two much away. So look closely at the icons near your house. Is there a box in your neighborhood? My box (purple pushpin) is awfully close to someone – can you find it? (BTW, I removed my name from the map, because the name tag was covering up a key box location) I don’t see any boxes heading in my direction :( ~CA |
|
| Hi Guys!! I think this has been the funnest (is that a word?)swap ever! I wasn't expecting anything today, but to my surprise I GOT A BOX!!! Carol sent me 2 mega packs of bulbs with 44 liatris bulbs (my butterflies thank you), 6 pink begonias (loooooove begonias!) 30 limelight glads and 40 red king croscomia (looooove croscomias!) Also a hummingbird feeder (which is full of sugar water and hanging already)along with hummer syrup, a windchime in the shape of a watering can (looove it) 3 packs of plant markers, a really cute gnome riding a frog pot sitter and to keep my hands soft, some really nice smelling lotion. Thank you sooooooo much Carol!! I loved it all and as soon as the rain stops everything is going in the ground! Bump (and Dan) it's been such a fun swap, thanks for hosting! Off to play in the dirt!!! Monica |
|
| I was so excited about the bulbs that I forgot to list the seeds :0) Seeds: Thank you so much Carol!! CA, that's a really cool map, keep up the good work!! Monica |

|
| ok here goes DC for #2 0103 8555 7497 9543 8467 yes I checked the dc for box #1 it is the right number =( sadly if it doesn't get scanned along the way it will keep on saying that message even though I handed the box to the lady instead of dropping it into the box hoping she would scan it. |

- Posted by dan_the_mailman Michigan (My Page) on Wed, May 6, 09 at 19:24
| Boxes may not get scanned sometimes between where they were mailed, and where they are going. I don't know why this is, but it does happen. Of course, being the mailman that I am, perhaps I attached a note to the box asking for it to not be scanned until it was delivered. Now, this isn't what I did, but I think it's great this time. Now NO ONE will be expecting my box and the recipient will be even more surprised when it arrives! Great job on the maps! I think they really add to all the excitement, don't you? G'nite, I'm going to bed. Hauling rocks last evening for a few hours seems to have made me more tired than I realized. -Dan |

| Hello People! As far as I can tell, all but one of the boxes have been sent out, and that's just fantastic! The deadline for mail-out is Saturday, and we've got packages criss-crossing this great nation of ours already. How cool is that? (to borrow a phrase from Dan) And, it looks like there may be a package in the mail for me to inspect today once Dan opens it! Meow! Last night Dan worked indoors, watering the plants and getting them ready to move outdoors. I helped him a little, telling him which ones were ready, which ones needed a little more water, etc. The funny thing is though, I don't think he really appreciated my help. He kept telling me to get out of the way, back off, and sometimes even lifted me off of the shelves and put me on the floor. Now, what kind of gratitude is that? Here I am, offering my expertise, and he keep moving me out of the way. Thankfully, Stella came along and helped me straighten him out. For about two minutes. Then we were put into the bedroom and locked in for about another half-hour. We kept hearing noises like running water and things being moved around, and I kept scratching at the door to let Dan know he'd locked us in, but he didn't let us out. Once he did finally open the door, we rushed right out and inspected everything but the plants. I couldn't get to those because the vinyl was back on the front of his greenhouses. What a pity! We forgave him though. Eventually. Actually, just in time to snuggle up to him when he was in bed. Everyone have a great day! And, for those of you who receive boxes today, keep posting and keep enjoying! It's been a lot of fun hosting this for you all! MEOW! -Bump |
|
| Great boxes everyone! I'm going to update the clickable tracking links here shortly, but I'm a little confused... not uncommon :P... Heather has two boxes? Oh, and my local store did have my patio set in stock, so we went ahead and bought it there. We left the chairs boxed up and UPS can just pick that up rather than us disassembling the chairs we've had for three weeks. The have already completed the credit for the table, that half of the money is already back in my account. So, at the moment, we're only out the half for the chairs, but once they get those and get the credit through we'll actually be ahead. See, we won't be paying the shipping cost. Did all that sound confusing? So, I'm gonna take some pictures later, if it doesn't rain again. I'm so excited to have my new patio set! Kathy |

| okay..I don't see nuthin heading for PA..."getting out bifocals" |
|
| There is a box in Saco, Maine that I hope has my name on it. My box was shipped on Monday, I just did not post until yesterday as I thought it would be delivered yesterday but apparently it decided to visit in a intermediary location for a day or two. Hopefully my box will arrive at it's destination today. I will keep you informed about the anticipated arrival of the Saco box. diene diene |

| Karen's box arrived yesterday! I had a lot of fun going through it! I'm planting everything today, Thanks so much Karen for such a nice box! Banana pup (I LOVE these! I haven't had one in a few years) the other one that I had grew from seed! I left it outside one Fall night and we had unexpected frost, so I lost it). Banana plants make really nice tropical houseplants! Heuchera, I love these too! Tracy (Tracyvine) sent me one last year, and it's my new fav plant! Hosta "Blue boy" I've wanted this one for so long! I purchased one, but it turned out to be mislabeled, and never turned blue. Iben's semp (I have to look this up) Seeds- Aquilegia "Ruby Port" Gloves and shovel too! Thanks so much Karen! Going to play in the dirt today for at least an hour! Hugs, |

| OOH - I'm clicking links to update the map - and I see there's a box in Virginia! I'm still in Milwaukee, waiting for my flight home. Looks like my first errand when I get home will be a trip to the PO to pick up my box. Yippee! CA PS - I have to shut down the computer in about 3 minutes to get on the plane - so I probably won't get the map updated before I get home. |
|
| The mailman just pulled down the driveway and I hope left my box, I am off to see the contents. DH says it should be for him since it is his birthday but no way!! |
|
| Deb, the plant you wanted to look up is Iberis sempervirens. I think I need to watch how I write, because I sent a division of this plant in another swap, and she too had to look up Iben's semp. lol Sorry for the confusion! I'm glad you like everything! Have a great day everyone!! |

| Karen, I LOVED everything! I'm totally in love with the fernleaf peony! I've never seen one before! I can't believe how well the banana shipped too! Everything shipped perfectly! This has been one of my best swaps~ I'm so thrilled with everything! Hugs, |
|
| Well I received not a small box but a large box from Joan, it had lots of great things in it, she packed it well but not tough enough for my mail carriers. Two of the things were broken, one not seriously and one beyond repair. It makes me soo mad that I am contemplating stopping swapping. Well enough of that, let me tell you what I recieved; First a great note from Joan telling me about her life then all of this:  A huge bag of seeds, I have them all written down but have no idea where I put the list so I will try to go from memory and refresh the list later. well I did not do well with these from memory so I will be back later to give you the complete list Then there were the gardening aids: garden gloves, trowel, plant markers, peppermint lip balm Next the garden decorations: A really nice wooden birdhouse, A wind sock, two chinese lanterns, a nice terracotta hanging sign and a really neat dream rock
I have been trying to post this for two hours, did I mention DH is home today. I need to go now but I will be back later. Thank you very much Joan, it was great. |

| When the taxi let me off at my front door, I could see the package waiting for me! Saved me a trip to the PO, but I’m not sure why it was left. Usually boxes sent with delivery confirmation require me to go pick them up. I’m not complaining, though! My box was from Heather, and was full of goodies
Thanks, Heather, this was a great box! Now I need some dry weather to get all this planted. I have puddles in my yard, and it is still raining. There was thunder a few minutes ago. When I got home I had about 15 minutes of sun to inspect my gardens. Everything’s growing, especially the weeds! No flowers on the peas yet. 3 clematis blooming. TB Irises need another few days. Roses are lovely. Spanish bluebells are almost done. Seed starts are begging to be transplanted. I had the map all updated until I just saw Mark's post. I'll add that movement and post in a munite. ~CA |

| I got a box from Dan today!! YAY! He sent: Plants: Seeds: Goodies: Thanks so much, Dan!! I'm fighting the kids for the popcorn, and they won't quit playing with the laughing bag. :O) Gypsy loves the pinecones, and wants me to plant that catgrass ASAP. Oh, and an ANT. I guess Dan thought we didn't grow 'em right here in Arkansas, so he sent one of the Michigan ones. LOL |

| Today I got a wonderful box from Monica(mommyto2) would have had it yesterday but our substitute postman did not leave the box and I had to pick it up today(he didn't know me) This box was overflowing, Thanks so much Monica!!! I got seed: scarbiosa atropurpurea: beaujolais bonnets flowering maple white pampas grass mixed sunflower mexican hat flower Salvia, yvonne;s zinnia, mixed Dill agastache, golden jubilee japanese morning glory: hatsu atrashi ornamental grass, bunny tales amaranth, pygmy torch and plants: bulbs: and wonderful goodies; I hope I remembered everything, it was just WONDERFUL!!!!!!!Thanks again,Monica. |

| Melissa, make sure you get some of that popcorn! Traverse City bills itself as the cherry capital of the world, and we have a HUGE festival every July. I went downtown last Friday night and found the store that sells the gourmet popcorn, and bought two bags. I ate the other one last night. Now, let me tell you all about what happened to me today. Today we got absolutely slammed with mail and parcels at work, and by the time I put that last piece of junk mail in the last mailbox, I was tired and a bit "out of sorts" you might say. A back that's still sore from hauling field stone for the yard Tuesday night may have had something to do with this. So, I arrive home, and there's a flat rate box sitting beside my door. As I shut the car off and walked towards my front door, my mood started to lift. Hmmm, wonder what that is? Lo and behold, diene delayed posting her dc# and surprised me with my box! How cool is that? Pretty cool, I say! So, I open the door, say hello to the kids, then sit myself down at the kitchen table. Reach out, scratch a couple of furry heads. Open the box. I'm not sure how diene got all of it into that box, but she did. I know I can't fit it all back in. Not only did diene send stuff I wanted and had on my list, but she also sent stuff I didn't know I wanted, until now! Diene, THANK YOU for such a great box! It was great, and made my day! ---and now, I've got to go get all of this in the ground--- |

| Hey, Ya'll! Sorry to be MIA! My stupid Internet went down Tuesday and we just got it back up. Yippee! SO ... my DC # is 0308 2690 0000 3850 0763. That's the first box, LOL! I waited to see if the weather would cooperate so that I could dig up a few things, but it didn't. So the second box will go out on Monday. Didn't want my partner to have to wait for everything :) AND ... my box from Bunny came! WOO HOO! Thanks so much!!! I did the happy dance all day long :) I got 7 amazing iris -- Jessie's Song, Red at Night, Bewilderbeast, Cherry Garden, Honorable, New Snow, and Immortality -- a hoya, and an African violet! I also got a citronella candle, some chocolate tea (yum!) and a big thing of Liquifeed with a refill. What an awesome box. I know exactly where everything is going to go. Yippee! Allison |
|
| Cheryl, I had to keep my mouth shut every time I wanted to post something It would have given it away that you live in the same state. LOL but the CAT'S out now. oh..mayday swap I was thinking MAYHEM lol. This was a fun swap! Can't wait to get my box! |
|
| Hey Dan; I did not mean to send a mystery plant, what does it look like while I still remember what I dug up!! Along those same lines, I cannot find the list I wrote from my huge box from Joan so I have the seed bag right here in front of me. Since my memory is shot, I am going to list them all again: Cleome Mix Snapdragons Mignonette (no idea but will be checking it out when I finish) Salvia Paradise Autumn Beauty Sunflower Chinese Lantern Lupine Zinnia Cherokee Wax Garden Bean Grand Bell Pepper Sweet Banana Pepper Gourd Birdhouse Black SD Simpson Lettuce Thanks again Joan, now all I need is some sunshine. |

| I got my box from Mark today which was a great pick me up. I've been feeling really bummed with the health news I've received and have been moping around. I have to admit though that it was with great fear and trepidation that I opened it. I've read Mark's post on several of these swaps. I wasn't sure if something would jump out at me or if he had sent one of his science experiments gone wrong that would wrap its spiny tendrils around me and pull me back in the box never to be seen again! So I carefully cut the packing tape and slowly eased back the flaps to find a boxfull of all types of goodies! And the packing material he used was all different kinds of wrapped candies! There was a nice note telling me about all Mark. I found it most interesting. Here is everything else that was in the box: leather pouch - made by Micah. Thank you Micah. I'll probably have to fight DH for that. Seeds: Thank you so much Mark. It was a terrific box! |

| one more map before I head off to bed. I show four who have not received boxes (Heather, Joseph, Linda, and Mark) and four whose boxes have not been delivered (Kathy, Deb, Allison, and Becky). Correct?
And a question for Heather: one of the seed packs you sent is for "Gold Rush Beans". Are these wax beans (eat the pod) or white beans (eat just the bean)? I've found one of each with the name "Gold Rush". Just want to know what to expect.... Thanks again for a wonderful box! I've potted up the plants - I'll have to wait for things to dry out a bit before digging. Part of my yard has inches of standing water! ~CA |

| yepper..I'm on the "no box yet" list..."setting trap for mailman".... |
|
| Mine is actually mailing today. Cliff had to come back to get it because he forgot it even after I reminded him this morning. It didn't make it yesterday, we had several things we had to finish yesterday while he was off. Poor guy, he never seems to get to rest and relax on his days off any more. But, it is on it's way today! I'm going to try to take a picture of the new patio set under the gazebo later today, if it doesn't start pouring again the way it looks like it's going to. Yesterday was a rain free day and we actually saw this big yellow thing in the sky and it was very muggy and there was this warmth.... wonder what that thing was... and if it will come back. I kind of liked it and I think my plants did too. The boys, hopefully, will be able to finish planting several plants in their garden that have been resting outside with some protection from the wind and rain. I've not been able to plant a thing since I received Nikki's box. We've had nothing but rain since then. So everything has been on hold waiting for the ground to dry a little so the new plants didn't drown. Thankfully, I don't think we've lost but a couple of marigolds, a couple of my variegated firespray tulips,a dusty miller or two. Not a whole lot considering how over saturated the ground here has been. Does anyone want me to continue updating the clickable links? Should I just do the ones that haven't been delivered yet? By the way, there have been some amazing boxes! Mark, you asked in the last thread, who was wanting a rooted Bleeding Heart, that was me :) I'll post clickables for those that haven't been received yet a little later. Need to finish getting the bratlings off to school. Kathy |

Anyway this is what you guys have been waiting to ooh and aah over. Bulbs/roots 1 pack of 2 bulbs-white daffodils-very neat looking Other stuff a garden mushroom and attached gnome-It arrived broken:( Thank you Pat:) Denise |

| Mark, Why didn't you tell me I had your location wrong on the map? I used the first place your box showed up, which apparently is not where you mailed it from... I guess I have to redo the map. Maybe later - it's not currently raining, so I should be outside now. ~CA |

| CA, I figured you put my name where the box landed first. It started in Randleman, NC. It hopped across the country in one day. Took a couple more days to get to the destination. No box when I got home. I will be on a science club field trip all day at Carowinds. I guess if something shows up tomorrow, I will get it about midnight. Mark PS: I need to start the mad science lab going for next month's swap.... hmmmm... something botanical? Animalia? Protista? Fungi? Monera? maybe... a genetic blending of all the above??? |

Now I have to go finish digging up plants so I can head out to my first MAG swap. Very exciting, and I'll get to meet Denise. (D, I have a hellebore with your name on it!) And for the second day in a row, I see sun! Happy weekend, everyone. ~CA |

(clapping paws) You've all been terrific, and this swap went even better than I'd hoped! And all those pictures you shared! That was just too too cool!

More seeds: Maltese Cross, Echinacea 'White Swan', Gaillardia 'Razzle Dazzle', Lavender, Mesclun mix. And peat pellets and plant markers for each. Also come choclate caramel coffee, strawberry licorice, and a Cinderella ice pack (Heather, how did you know I'm so clumsy?) Heather, you shouldn't have, but thanks a bunch! ~CA |

|
| Good Evening All; Does that mean we are done? Wow this one did go quick. By the way Dan, I just realized that I sent you a sapling for the cherry tree but called it a redbud tree. I thought you might like to see what it's Mama looks like today.  Boy HNB, those pictures are amazing, do you know what kind of birds they are? Where are they that you can take those pictures? Your kids must be so excited, what a great thing. |

| Diene, thanks for the picture of the cherry tree! It's always nice to know what the plants are going to look like, isn't it? LOL! We've got one more box out there, and I'm thinking it'll be delivered today, or tomorrow at the latest. Once Joe posts the contents of his box, I'll close this swap and we can all look for the June swap to be posted by Melissa. I'm looking forward to that one! She always makes it interesting! |

- Posted by hazelnutbunny 7A (My Page) on Mon, May 11, 09 at 10:11
| Diene~ They are sparrows- I saw the mom today. I thought they might be robins, because of the eggs....but the mom is definitely a sparrow. The nest is inside a honeysuckle bush along a fence in our yard. Every year we have several nests inside- but we've never found one this early. It's usually when the babies are big enough to make noise. It was an awesome Mother's Day present, though. There is nothing more exciting than watching new life be brought into the world- no matter WHAT species it is! :O) I'm getting things together for the June swap. I'll try to keep it tame....but ya just never know.... |

| I know it's been delivered this afternoon and I'm looking forward to seeing what he thought of my choices! I always get excited when a partner receives a box from me! It's almost as fun as receiving one myself! I'm going to go lie back down with this headache, I managed to pull something badly yesterday and have a horrible headache as well as tender muscles and spasms. I'll check back later to see if he's posted :) Kathy |

| Kathy's box was delivered to Joe's house at 2:30 today, so right now all we're waiting for is for Joe to come home from work, open up what I know is going to be a terrific box, and post it all here for us to enjoy with him. Can't you just feel the anticipation! And, do you all realize this means we did this in just one week? Is that some kind of record? Is it? Does anyone know? -Dan & Bump(who is currently taking a nap) |

| Thanks Bump and Dan for a great time on this swap, so much fun, the guessing!!

| I received an email from Pat informing me that she had sent seeds. I'm so glad I still had the box because sure enough they were lodged at the very bottom. The box was the exact width of the seed packs. So here are the items that were missed. Catnip, Dahlia,Four O'Clocks, Hollyhock, English Daisy, Foxglove, Johnny Jump Ups, and three types of M.G. Pat, Sorry I missed the seeds the first time. Thank you for them, looks like I will have plenty of seeds to plant for my winter sowing. THANKS!!! Denise |
