Serena, please check your email and get back to me soon about your missing bingo word. Thanks!

Have fun. Sorry I didn't make it.

Company left yesterday and I'm tired. Too much fun for an old lady.

Hope to catch up before next month. Guess I better I think I'm hostess for Feb.

Serena, to make it easier on us both, I've added "Amaranthus" to your list. It hasn't been called yet, and wasn't already on your list.

Beth, breathe! Take another deep breath, and relax. If you'd like to join in on the bingo game, send me a word list with no more than 2-3 of the already called flowers on it. That seems to be about the average so far. As for the age thing, you're not "old", you've just got "life experience"...lol! That's what my optometrist said right before telling me I needed bifocals. Hmph!!

Thanks I'm taking sr. photos sould have looked closer but was trying to do it all on my phone during an outfit change hehe

Glad to help!

Just dropping by to say hi. Still nursing this dumb knee. It is better but I can't believe how long it is taking to get it back to normal. I have to get it ready for gardening. I am going back in February to check to see how it is going. I might need an MRI. Ugh

Bingo is moving fast. I need 9 more. I'm looking forward to seeing the packages start to arrive and see what people came up with. Margo

i have 10 more to go...

serena, here in new york city are so many community gardens. but the only educational one i know of is on randall's island. they have a tunnel with hanging gourds, rice paddies, natural dyes, healing herbs, a few chicken, compost bins.

I'm up late tonight, which means I may not feel like getting online during the day Friday. Plus, I may watch the inauguration on tv. NO POLITICAL COMMENTS NEEDED. I don't care who you voted for, we all know who won the election, and we'd all be better off just trying to spend the next 4 years trying to build up our nation instead of tearing it down.

Friday's Bingo Words.

Oooh that sounds amazing Ella! Now i have something to aspire to!!!! Im going to google it

well, many of the community gardens are sponsored by bette midler's foundation:

Midler founded the New York Restoration Project (NYRP) in 1995, a non-profit organization with the goal of revitalizing neglected neighborhood parks in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods of New York City.[9] These include Highbridge Park, Fort Washington Park, and Fort Tryon Park in upper Manhattan and Roberto Clemente State Park and Bridge Park in the Bronx.[75]

When the city planned in 1991 to auction 114 community gardens for commercial development, Midler led a coalition of greening organizations to save them. NYRP took ownership of 60 of the most neglected plots. Today, Midler and her organization work with local volunteers and community groups to ensure that these gardens are kept safe, clean and vibrant. In 2003, Midler opened Swindler Cove Park, a new 5-acre (20,000 m2) public park on the Harlem River shore featuring specially designed educational facilities and the Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse, the first community rowing facility to be built on the Harlem River in more than 100 years. The organization offers free in-school and after-school environmental education programming to students from high-poverty Title I schools.[75]
