[luvie]

Thanks, Megs!

[GodBlessUSA]

Wow! 85. It sure warms up fast there in Texas ;). This is so lovely. I need to plant Irises here. I like the white with just a touch of yellow at the base.

[GodBlessUSA]

Oh, that's a great idea. I may give that a try too. :)

[luvie]

Yes, it does...and I just dread the summer when it will no doubt be over 100 a lot. That's NOT fun! =\

[GodBlessUSA]

I know, that isn't fun. It does get too hot for you. Enjoy it now. Is your peace rose showing sign of blooming?

[luvie]

Oh! It's got lots of new growth on it, but no blooms yet. I checked on it earlier this evening.

[GodBlessUSA]

Oh good. It's spending time growing. I can't wait till you get blooms. I can't wait till mine has leaves. ;) LOL

[luvie]

LOL! I am so glad you brought it with you to the new house!

I will post a picture of it whenever it blooms!

[luvie]

The poem that Bob contributed to the thread is so full of promise...it's just beautiful!

Thank you, poet. I always look forward to your work here!

[GodBlessUSA]

I wish I brought more plants from there. I was crazy not to but we were so stressed with things, packing. Next time. LOL :)

[GodBlessUSA]

It was so funny because I was searching the web. I wanted a poem so bad. I looked and looked and didn't see any I liked. I come back to FR empty and I check my ping page and there was NicknamedBob's, Sonnet to Almost Spring and it's just so beautiful.

[luvie]

You're already talking about next time???

You just got the red room painted! LOL!

Spring has sprung
Fall is fell
The grass is rized
I wonder where the birdies is?

i know what you mean about the temps in texas..when I saw meg & luv posting & you & I , it was an interesting comparison of the temperate & semi tropical climates.

I miss the southern weather

Windows

The purpose of a window,
Is not to look one way,
But letting things come in to you,
When needed in your day.

The season that we look upon,
From where we are right now,
Is mostly just a promise,
That we recall somehow.

It enters through a window,
From memories still bright,
It fills the shadows of our hearts,
With soul-sustaining light.

A Winter’s chill is in our hearts.
We need the warmth of Spring,
And pleasures of the joys to hold,
Those memories do bring.

with moves it is hard sometimes to move all you want (Plants)...and if the house is under contract before you find the "new one", you often cannot take them unless you made provisions in contract.

dividing up the perennials & taking lots of cuttings is the nice way to do it.. I have seen some yards that look like mine fields with huge unfilled holes where people have taken dozens upon dozens of plants. That gets tacky

The nice way it to have a new place, move your plants, fill in the holes & mulch all over to avoid it looking weird.

Say "hyacinth" fast 5 times.... hehe.

[DollyCali]

Thanks Bob, you prove over & over again that creativity comes at all times..

neat pix.

I have never been to DC during cherry blossom time.. would like to do it one year..not sure what the tree is in your pix but it triggered that thought
