I got the package this morning and now it's on it's way to Peggy. This is fun!

Hi Guys..I'm bumping this so you can check on progress. I've been ripping up carpet and painting, so I'm only checking mail once a day! (LOL) Package is on it's way to Peggy. Please just a reminder to everyone to check postage so the birdie doesn't get bogged down along the way. Have fun!

I'm watching my post!

Where's the robin now? Just wanted to bump us back up so we don't get stuck on the second page. Got to go plant...bye for now..or maybe some housework...hmmm...no, definately time to plant! LOL.

Trish

Seems to have gotten lost between Point Claire and Ottawa (It's *North* on the 417, little robin! ;)

Hi,
I am still checking my post - nothing yet. 4 days so far with Canada Post from Que to Ont.
Cheers,
McPeg

It was mailed Thursday evening so hopefully you'll get it tomorrow. I did have another bubble envelope sent to me from Ontario and it took one whole week: Monday->Monday. Don't know what the problem was.

Lakshmi

Good thing they're annuals!

Wow, this is fun. I've picked my lot and added some more. I included a few extras of the yellow wild scottish poppy seed that I hand collected - in case anyone is interested.
Cheers,
McPeg

Whew...I presume this means you finally got it! I was starting to get worried...I had visions of a hoard of women coming after me with hoes ;-)

Lakshmi

We wouldn't hoe you down! Geez, we're a fun loving group after all!

Yes, but still the image of a hoarde of hoe-wielding women still made me laugh! "Light the torches, Sally! We're gonna get us some 'Sturtiums!" :)

Will be watching for the robin, and send it on it's way ASAP!

Hi all,

Quick update, Robin hasn't arrived yet. I guess if it was mailed on Friday, that's not surprising, seeing as how it's only Monday - but I figured I'd nudge the thread anyhow. I remember someone telling me that in Britain, the post is delivered twice a day, plus once on Saturdays! Wouldn't that be nice!

Oh well, will let you know as soon as it's on it's way!

Sasha :)

Well, now the post is delivered once a day, including Sat. morning. Cost savings now.
I honestly found the postal service in the UK superior to Canada but then again, it's a much smaller country!
TTT

I'm happy to report that the robin arrived today! It's already repackaged, restamped, and I will drop it at the post office on the way in to work in the AM!

The robin when in the mail this morning, and is on it's way to Kenny.

Woo Hoo! Fun watching this! I figure it will be back to me mid April! Flap ! Flap!

It looks that way wendy2shoes. You will be able to just put the seeds right in the garden.

ttt - so it doesn't get buried!

I got the robin today! I have something really important (personal issues) tomorrow, so I'm going to have to send hte robin out on frudat morning, sorry bout that!

Oh goodie, that means I'm next! Won't take long between Markham and Mississauga anyways. Hope your day goes well tomorrow Kenny.
Trish

Bump!

There were all sorts of robins in my yard today but none of them were carrying an envelope with seeds in it. LOL. That's okay, with this snow they have forecasted for the next few days I thought I'd organize what seeds I have left and what I could still plant this year...then get my containers ready and plant away...

The little robin was here but just for a short stay as he decided that he had to fly away. Off he goes to Acton, bye bye little birdie, have a nice trip...hope to see ya again next year!

bump!

With the Easter holidays come and gone, am looking forward to the little Robin (the poor things must be freezing). My seeds are ready, it will not stay long here.

Next time I will invite the little robin at my place. he he he

The package arrived to-day (Wed,) It,s on it way to Debbie, London to-morrow. It,s ready to go first thing in the morning. Fly fly.....

I will keep my eyes open for the little birdie. lol

Wendy,
I keep watching the activity on our Robin and meaning to say thank you for a very well organized event! There's something special about getting a real piece of mail that email can't compare to! Especially when there are seeds involved.
Cheers to you!
McPeg

When I arrived home yesterday there was a little birdie waiting for me...yeah He is now on his way to Sarnia..... fly little birdie fly....

The birdie landed in Sarnia today, and is back in the mail ready for a long flight to Bobbie Jo in MB...have a safe flight birdie!!!

Melanie

As of this morning I still have not received the little birdie but I'll be keeping watch!
