Why didn't I think of this before? Kylie, we can move some of them that you really want to keep to my garden. I water every day anyway (or hubby does on the weekend). I have lots of shade and dappled shade.

Pam

Kylie- I am so sorry to hear that you are in desperate straights- I will pray for rain for you for the rest of the summer! Pam- that is a wonderful thing you are offering- if I lived closer, I'd offer to help her like that too! If you still decide to depart with some of your plants- I'd be thrilled to pay postage or whatever you decide Kylie- my prayers are with you!
hugs~

Kylie...I really, really hope that you won't have to..but...I'll be glad to pay the postage cost for
some of the cuttings you may need to part with. I do pray
that you all will get some rain.
Margaret

Oh! Kylie what a wonderful idea from Pam,
keep your plants hon and just trade or
share your cuttings! I'll rain dance and
pray for you! :)
Susan

Kylie,
Darn it anyway....
I hope your weather will change and you get some much needed rain. We had been in the 100's or close to it for a month and a half with minimal rain. I thought it would be like that the rest of the summer. As of last week we have normal temps again and even some rain. I pray that happens to you. I have been racking my brain trying to think of a way to help you...somehow sending water priority flat rate just wouldn't cut it. I would say take people up on their offer that live somewhat close to you and let them hold your plants over. I know they would love to repay your generosity. I am not quite in your neighborhood, but if you are coming through I would be glad to help you out also. I sure hope you can come up with something that is a workable situation and win, win for everyone. I think the cows having been winning thus far.....
May many blessings rain down upon you.
Joyce

I hope you get rain soon. If you do have to get rid of cuttings I would be happy to pay postage.

Hi Kylie. If you can't find temp homes in your area for the full plants I could root cuttings (cool weather up here isn't producing lots of blooms yet but cuttings root like gangbusters) and mail the rooted plants back to you once your weather moderates. We put too much effort (both physical and emotional) putting together our collections, large or small, to lose them to the vagaries of nature.
Will

What a weird summer weatherwise, huh Kylie? Up here in Colorado we're having a cooler than average summer and more rain than we've had in years (not to mention the hail and constant storms!). But we've had those desperate summers where it didn't rain for 4 months too. You definitely have to keep the cows watered, but I think Pam's offer is the best one for your plants. Wish I could come down there and take some for you temporarily too, but it's just too long a drive with one arm! (still in the stupid sling from the shoulder surgery )-: and let me tell ya, it's hot and uncomfortable).
Diane

I will pray for rain for you. I know how hard we work to grow our plants and have to part with them is hard.

I wish I could send you some of our cool weather.

Kylie, Im so sorry to hear of the lack of rain there, wish
I could send some your way, let me know if theres anything
I can do.
Hugs,
Karen

THANK YOU ALL so Very Much!! A girl can never have too many Prayers.... And there are a few offers I may take ya up on sooooo be careful what you wish for..LOL
Hubby and I are still hoping something will change.. If not.... I will have to do some thing. sorry to be such a whiner... Never very becoming..LOL..
Back out to do the Rain Dance!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!

Kylie

Kylie I will be dancing with and for you! Even with the pain in my feet...I DANCE. Because I can not see your heart ache!

HUGS

Lucy

Lucy I took 3 drops today.. Thank You!!! You have Helped me soooo very much!!

Hugs Kylie

Looks like you may find babysitters for your brugs. If you don't, I could also try rooting some cuttings for you and mail back to you when you are ready.

We are having rain again. I will pray that you get rain -- the slow, gentle rain several times a week.

I know the heartbreak that can accompany raising cattle. I will be happy to help you any way I can.

Kylie HUGS for you!

If the drops don't help anymore...I can send you the plain Vodka roflmao

Lucy

hehehehehe!!!!

Kylie,
Sorry about rain shortage, hope the rain dancers help.
Have you thought of "gray" water? Yep, bath water.
A lot of people save bath water for their plants.
Last year in Atlanta, Ga. The neighbors of one lady called the water police on her.
There was a zero band on outside watering.
Their plants were dying, hers were green and growing.
She was saving her families bath water!
( I think she was watering container plants)
Just an idea!
Hugs,
Dorothy

Kylie, let me know if I can help. I would be willing to take care of some of your plants. In San Antonio. I can still hand water, no restrictions. I can give them back to you in October, if you are still planning to come to Rockport. That way postage is just one way. I would love to help you out. I have tons of pots, and can get potting soil here, that would help keep down the cost of postage. Barbra,

Hi Kylie....What a horrible decision to have to make! BUT the "girls" come first with no hesitation. I am just heart sick about you having to get rid of some of your brugs....PLEASE take up the generous offers for "babysitting"! There is not a soul out there that knows you would be the first in line to help them in a situation like yours. If I weren't so far away, I'd be at your doorstep with a U haul to help you out. I know I have not been much help but please make sure you weigh all your options. Are they talking about water restrictions yet?

Linda

Prayers are answered... Today we got a Brief shower I hit my knees and Thanked the Lord and said a Prayer for each and everyone of you.... about 1/2".. BUT every drop counts.. I can not Thank You for all of the Prayers and offers...It is just not us.. There are Thousands just like us who are wondering what to do next.. PLEASE know that every Prayer counts.. and I hope that you will continue to keep us all in your Prayers..My life is so Blessed to have so many Wonderful Friends!!!
Kylie

Kylie, sorry I didn't see this sooner. I will have John do the Polynesian naked turtle rain dance tonight, lol. If you need me to hang onto some stuff for you I would be happy to. Just let me know. Don't have any cows to water here. We need some rain desperately as well. We went to the lake to take Morgan tubing and it was so low I hit the front of the boat on the roller when I tried to pull up on the trailer. Been a long time since I saw it so low.

YES!!!! I am so glad that you got some rain today as here in River Oaks we got the same if not a little more... But the main thing is you got some rain in your neck of the woods:0) Please know that I am praying for you to get some rain too, and by the looks of it we are in for another chance tomorrow for rain.

Im here and my garden is here for you if you need for us to house some of your plants until cooler weather and rain arrive JLMK

Rigo~

Kylie what good news that you had some rain.

Kristy I am on my way over...got to see John dance. lol

Lucy

We have rain in the forecast for the next three days too! I hope you get some more rain, Kylie, a huge cloudburst or three would go a long way toward filling those tanks. We got close to an inch yesterday while I was at work.

All my new plants are looking very happy with the cooler temps and rain. Let me know if you want me to babysit, I'll get started on holes to sink the pots into, since my weekend starts tomorrow. Of course, that (my weekend) happens every Tuesday, so we could also wait until it dries up again to plan.

Pam

~THE POWER OF PRAYER~

Praise Jesus for the rain! We are having some right now too! He is so good to us!
Hugs~
Kasha77

Kylie I sure hope that YOU got more rain!!!!?

Here it LOOKED like we would get some...but I believe it passed now :-(

Continue to dance...and pray of course for RAIN

Hugs
Lucy

Kylie, We get rain every afternoon and I think I been taking it for granted (even upset about it) after reading this. I think I read somewhere that it;s an El nino year. Wishing something to blow over to you! I hope everything makes it.I'm sure whatever is supposed to happen will and if I know you, you have some serious karma coming back to you. Good luck and BTW the grey water idea sounds awesome.

Looks like were in for rain all his week :0)Thank you lord for helping Kylie and all those who need rain right now.

Hope things start turing green for you soon.....

Rigo

I thought it was going to rain but it went away. I got my tickets to Birmingham and my friend there is going to take me to the beach at Panama city to meet my other friend so I am excited now. Get to see my family I haven't seen in a long time and good friends as well. Now if I can find a Garden webber to meet on my adventure it would be great, lol. Just looked at the map and CB is a long way from Panama city, lol.

Kylie,
I am so thankful for the rain you got and will continue to pray that you receive more!
Hugs to ya!
Joyce

Hey F4F, as I recall Country Gardens toes to a garden market in Pensacola several times a year according to what I (think I) saw on their website. If fortune smiles on you perhaps you might be able to meeet some of those good folks with a short detour........and who knows what brugs they might be bringing.
Will

Kylie, I'd love to help you out. I wish I lived closer. If you send cuttings or plants, I'll pay postage & send some back when you are ready. I have plenty of room after my winter losses.
I water with bath water, dish water & some scrub water if there's a restriction (watch the amount of detergent). You should look into a water barrel or two & save up for just this kind of thing. We bought a 300 gallon tank but it's not together yet (DH was supposed to get it ready for the spring rains). Until then, I will continue to lug buckets of bath water if I have to. Maybe water collection systems are in the future for the both of us & a good idea for everyone else. Get it ready before you need it.

Linda

Linda she has two retention ponds and rain barrels but with no rain they don't get refilled, lol. Thanks for the tip about country gardens Will, I'll google plant markets in the area and swing by.

f4f,

I live just north of Panama City. Are you going to Panama City or Panama City Beach. Either way I would love to meet you if I am in town. I seem to always be gone. When are you arriving?

Dee

WOW!!! How cool would that be....Hope you 2 find a way to get together...

PLEASE!!! Let me take the time to Thank Each and Everyone of you for your Prayers... Prayer Works!!!! Last night we got 2" of rain... That is enough to green up the pastures some we do need more to fill the tanks.. BUT NO Complaints here..LOL I hope you will continue to keep us in your Prayers.. I can't Thank You enough!!!!
What an Awesome Day!!!!

Kylie

There is nothing that made my day happier then your news of more rain!!! Praying, dancing AND crossing fingers AND toes just so you hopefully get more rain. Chances are there the next 2 days. Nothing here. But all my worries go out to YOU my friend

Lucy

I am so happy for you. It must have rained all the way across the country from all the prayers, we got .75" today & I didn't ask for any for myself.LOL. Tell those greedy cows to tank up now while they have a chance & save some for your plants. Too bad they're not like camels (both cows & plants).

Linda

Wooooooo Hooooooooo.....Kylie!!!! Great news!!!! Way to go and hope more rain is on the way for ya!!!!!!! I will continue with prayers!
Joyce

God is Great!!! Thank You all again for all of your Prayers and very generous offers..LOOK Here....THE POWER OF PRAYER!!!!
We have gotten 5" of rain over the past week..The Tanks are full..Here are a couple of pics. of the the creek that feeds the new tank.. the new tank front and backside and the old tank that wasn't much more than a mud hole last week..
We were under Tornado warnings last night and had some damage to mostly just plants and a few trees alot of junk floating in the tanks.. But I don't even care...LOL

Kylie

Wow, such a different world from mine! I'm sure glad your drought is over. We haven't had a drop of rain since early April.

Kylie my heart is smiling and thanks will go out to God in my prayers tonight.

I think we need to continue to dance for CA now...you all just cross your fingers and toes also. It seems to bring more rain lol

Lucy

I told you John's naked turtle dance would work, lol. So glad to see it and we had a good rain here this morning too. Just in time since I had felt bad the last two nights and Morgan watered for me. I bet I had some thirsty plants, lol.
