Plantapaloosa

As promised I want to show you more
of my wonderful day at the perennial farm last Fall.

But first I want to thank you all for the wonderful
comments about my fear of going to get my hair done.
or as George says….getting my hair did.

I know I'm a big baby.
I loved reading about your own experiences with your hair and salons….
It's good to know that I'm not the only one who has not
always come away from the chair happy.
Your comments helped me have the courage to go thru with it and
I felt like you were all with me that day.
It was enjoyable to get pampered for a couple of hours.
I had forgotten how great it is to have someone wash your hair and get fussed over.
Wonder if I could ask hubby to wash my hair now and then???

I wasn’t able to get the haircut I showed you was my favorite because my
hair isn’t long enough yet. I’m told the color will lighten up some but right now it
doesn’t look all that different but the cut is much improved
and they textures is softer and healthier.

Today I reluctantly took pictures of myself.
Not promising that they will make it on to this little blog of mine.
I’ve never liked pictures of myself
even when I was younger and prettier.

So instead for today I will show you what I captured
from behind the camera.

The side I like best.

As you can see I put the names on some of the plants but not
all. If you would like to know what they are just let me know.
Now I have some pics of myself to doctor up......
no, not really but I do have to get ready to go to the
big city soon.

Just a tease

Just a few things that I put together the other day
with no real idea of what I wanted to write.
Gee nothing new!
These pictures were taken last Fall at the
wholesale nursery I had visited.





This helps me when it comes time to order.
I used to just put a check by the plants on the list...but when
I get down to ordering them in the winter I can't really remember
even with a description and a catalog picture what they
"really" look like.


Not a good example...believe it or not this
plant has no lovely script on it's leaves.
I guess you figured that out....
sadly I was late in ordering this knautia and it was sold out!

A sea of Euphorbia "Bonfire"


Just a reminder that there is still time to enter the giveaway.
Just leave a comment on the previous post.
Hope your all having a great weekend.
It's a beautiful sunny day today but we
had frost last night and it's suppose to be
chilly tonight too.
Stay warm!

White Wednesday

Welcome to White Wednesday hosted by Kathleen of Faded Charm
Welcome to my home!!


Just kidding!
I wish!
What I'm not kidding about is that as I got to the end of this post and the whole thing disappeared.
Yup!
I thought that the post might have still been saved but NO!!!
so this will be the quick version!!!
or pared down few words version!!



Earlier today I hurt my left index finger so typing is a bit difficult.
Nothing serious just a sewing machine accident. Let me just say I recommend not putting your fingers by the needle thingy......haha!
you hear of people who get drawn to the motion of a spinning blade.......maybe that's what happened!
I don't know???




Anyways I hope you forgive me this time. If you have any questions about any of the plants you see let me know.





I should tell you that this was taken at a wholesale nursery this Fall. I thought seeing a little green would be a welcome change now that we're in the middle of Winter.....many of you have had torrential rains also. It's been a very strange winter so far.
But better days are ahead!






























Thanks again for stopping by!!!!
Don't forget to visit Kathleen and the other participants of White Wednesday!
