Received my card and seeds from pinkiris, will post a pic later this evening when I have time to open the card. Thank you! It is 70 here today so trying to get some outside time winter sowing before it gets cold again tomorrow. I am sending out my card today!

BINGO WORDS FOR 2/12:

Love

St. Valentines

Ruth, I received your fun card today. Thanks so much. Loved the hearts that you added. I'll stop back tomorrow and post which seeds you sent. The seeds are downstairs and I'm upstairs right now - yes, I admit too many stairs just to post the varieties of seeds. Some days I can tell I'm getting older! Thanks so much and I hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day. My younger daughter and her family came by today so we had our early Valentine's Day together. It was absolutely beautiful out so we ate our lunch on the screened porch. We all love to do that! Then we made a batch of chocolate chip cookies. The granddaughters are very good at making cookies!

COMING THIS SPRING!! WHO’S READY?

Start an exciting journey through Blue Ridge, Ga. aboard the Freedom Railbikes. Leave the depot in historic downtown Blue Ridge and begin a 5 ½ mile round-trip adventure by creeks, ponds, vineyards, gorgeous mountain homes and cabins and a covered bridge through tall Georgia pines. Halfway through your trip, you’ll stop to take in the scenic views and rest before returning to your journey. Although the rail bikes are motor assisted, pedaling is part of the experience. Keep your eyes and camera ready for wildlife during this incredibly scenic hour and half adventure!

I'm doing this for sure this year

BINGO WORDS FOR 2/13:

Pink

Chocolates

Jeanne, I know what you mean about the stairs and I constantly going up and down and I feel it by the end of the day.

Shirley, that excursion looks like a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Shirley, your post about the railbikes is kind of strange to me lol Ironically, I came across an article about Blue Ridge, GA and we started talking of going there for a weekend. we have never heard of the town before so it was kind of eerie to see your post.

Pic from my awesome card from pinkiris. Loved the card, seeds especially the sweet peas I really want to get these growing this year. Thank you and Happy Valentines and super bowl day💕 I may sneak out to Lowes to look at plants while everyone else is hunkering down for the super bowl, went from 70 yesterday to 44 today brr but it’s always a good day for plants🌱💕

Whoops forgot the pic, thank you again

Margo would it not be great to meet there. I want to check it out for sure. I love doing different things and this is totally different.

A friend of mine sent this and asked if anyone had seen Eddie lately? LOL

Ruth made a lovely card that has a heart shaped wreath made up of flowers that she painted. She sent: Chinese Wool Flower (I'll have to look that one up), Red Easy Wave Petunia, Sunday Bright Pink Celosia, and Sweet William. My husband Bill was William so I am always happy to grow those! Thanks so much, Ruth.

I hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow.

Margo, your seeds should be arriving today.

Thanks Susan, something to look forward to on this cold dreary day. High of 30 today and 60 on Wednesday. Only in Ohio!

Great selection of seeds too.

Thank you so much.

Interesting about the Railbikes Shirley. I'd love to do it, but I don't know about the pedaling part. We always make time to go to Mercier Orchards when we're in the Blue Ridge area. My grandson has always loved their muscadine cider.

Happy Valentines Day y'all.

Seeds arrived today from Annie. Perfect timing Cute card too with Gals chatting at a coctail party. I have not been to a cocktail party since back in the days when we lived in the DC Subburbs.... many moons ago. Thank you Annie. Fun memories there

Margo, just opened your Annie mail. Great selection of seeds....pink hibiscus, basil red velvet, white tomasol tomato, sweetie tomato, cleome cherry queen and marigold Kilimanjaro. Thank you so much!!!

Margo and Susan, what a game on Sunday. I was sure your boys had the game in the bag. Yesterday, I ran in to some guys and gals from Ohio. Of course, they were out here for the game. They said they had a fantastic time on Sunday regardless...and have been having the best time out here in Southern California. They were off to the beach to take in some rays and have clam chowder. So glad they did the beach yesterday.....today raining and 50 degrees.

Happy Tuesday!!

Happy Tuesday Annie. That way a close game. The Rams deserved their hard won victory. Congrats!

BINGO WORDS FOR 2/15:

Perfume

Happy Birthday Melinda: Hope it was fantastic.

Annie, glad you enjoyed the seeds

It was definitely a breath holding game. Ohioans are awesome, no negative comments about the loss. As a matter of fact, there is a rally tonight in Cincinnati to honor the players and their efforts. We aren’t going because although exciting, I am bit a big football fan. I am proud of my fellow Cincinnatians and their attitudes. Who dey!

I hope Melinda looks at this months swap and sees her Happy Birthday, miss her.

Congratulations Margo!!!!!! Shirley, great February swap....simple is good...LOL!! Thank you!!

Margo I haven't mailed your prize yet, lots going on. Eddie's nephew passed away. He was only 38 yrs old and left his wife and 3 kids. Wish he had never went in the hospital with Covid. Went down hill quickly. Eddie has 27 nephews and he was a favorite of everyone's. I will send you a list of several plants and see which you like. Don't want to send something you already have.

Had beautiful weather Wed. and Thurs. but raining again today.

Was fun ladies take care!

Shirley, I am so sorry for the loss of your nephew. Prayers for your family.

Congratulations, Margo on your win and thank you Shirley for hosting the swap.

Shirley, since February swap is done, I hope it's okay if I post March swap a couple days early. That will give more time if anyone needs to order anything.

I've ordered seeds from 3 different companies this year and they all took a long time to get here.

I just placed a Baker Creek order and it says to allow up to 3 weeks for delivery.

Thru midnight Sunday they are donating 100% of seed sales to World Help to help Ukrainian refugees.

Shirley, so sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family during this time. Margo congratulations on your win. Shirley thanks for hosting. It was a nice simple swap and I enjoyed participating as always.
