The Iowa GA isn't worthy of kissing your patootie!
I am basing my remarks on the fact that there isn't a single member of the GA who has access to military intelligence, and therefore doesn't have the FACTS necessary to make a decision on how to vote on the resolution.
Mr IG has already left this morning on a business trip, so it's quiet here
my tobaggon..
utsamatta? you blind!
lol
Peach, I hope your ankle is feeling better.
you survived! haven't read the whole thread just pings.. up since 5 & punching out a couple "must do" projects here.
funny on bikini thread Islam style
later
PS..heat wave coming today. Algorey was right. Going to hit 30 today for first time in month over 20 & most days were in single digits or below zero.
This climate sucks - pretty or not
Our weather forecast says we will be up to 50 degrees on Friday. I can't wait!
Received my first shipment from Park seed on Saturday. It is a new annual I am going to try called Angelonia serina, also called "summer snapdragon." I THINK this was the annual my sister bought and planted in with her mums. She bought it in a six-pack, and had no idea of the name.
Anyway, here is a picture:
I hope so, as it was very pretty and mixed well with a lot of her flowers. I ordered one each of pink, purple, lavender, and white (10 pelleted seeds of each). I needed some spiky annuals, and am hoping this fits the bill.
That summer snap dragon is interesting. I will be interested to know how it works out. I have used blue salvia as my tall spikey annual for years. Old habits are hard to overcome.
I'm ordering some grasses. Most are perennial. I am looking for something to soften things up.
I will be anxious to see what is left out there this spring. I'm expecting some serious winterkill after the subzero temps that lasted so long.
Also, when Mr IG bladed the drive he tore out a large patch of soil and mulch from beside the front steps,,, I could see mulch and dirt drug all along the edge of the drive beside the area where the blade was clearing the drive. I know he took some burgundy mums out. And I am fearful he got my most prized pinky peach ruffled day lily.
Gardening is always an adventure. Sometimes a horrible adventure.
Let me know about the snap dragons.
I am afraid I lost a bunch of stuff, too. Before the cold came I had a lot of things which had broken dormancy, including my mums. When I heard the temps were falling, I went out and shoveled dirt and straw over some, but I don't know if that helped. I will just have to wait and see. I will be REALLY upset if I lost those Shasta daisy Becky's!

Those snaps are gorgeous, Jane.
Will be anxious to hear how they do.
According to WIBC radio this morning, Governor Mitch Daniels has decided to endorse a Republican presidential candidate. It is (get ready):
John McCain!!!!!
It's feeling good. I called my fellow altar guild friend and her ankle (where the dog bit it) is feeling okay and she's not limping or anything.
It's going to be in the 60's and 70's this week!!!
