Thanks for stopping by!<BR/><BR/>W2W, Well, it wasn't a very exciting video, but I've been wanting to try one. <BR/><BR/>VP, I know rain probably doesn't excite you:) I wasn't too thrilled with it back in June, either.<BR/><BR/>Sarah, No one wants their plans ruined because of rain, but a gardener does appreciate it!<BR/><BR/>Sherry, My photos cannot compare with yours, but I agree cloudy, rainy days seem to create the best photos.<BR/><BR/>Joey, This has been a very warm October; I hope it doesn't suddenly turn cold before I have all my bulbs planted.

We had our share recently but now temps are heading near 80 tomorrow, so glad I didn't turn off my sprinkler system with much yet to do before putting garden to bed and planting bulbs.

It didn't turn out as interesting as I thought, though:)<BR/><BR/>Liz, I'll keep the rain:) Maybe you could get George to dig the holes for the bulbs:)<BR/><BR/>Mary, Glad you are getting this wonderful rain, too! The sun is out today, though, so it's time to work!<BR/><BR/>Susie, Thanks for dropping by! The local nursery had quite a selection of hydrangeas left, although not every variety. The "Limelight" was 1/2 off, so I just couldn't pass it up:)<BR/><BR/>Beckie, As many bulbs as I've bought, I'd better start planting now to get them in before the first snow flies:)<BR/><BR/>Mean Mom, I should be getting some housework and indoor projects done, but I know our warm weather will not last.

I'm glad you got rain. We missed out on our big chance yesterday, just a few sprinkles. <BR/><BR/>Congrats on purchasing that Limelight hydrangea. I know Racquel at Perennial gardener loves that plant. I work at a nursery and yesterday I inquired as to whether we had these in stock. I was told we were out and would get more in the spring. So, I guess I will either wait or maybe search another nursery.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270611634380137009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-22327489911083785172008-10-08T18:37:00.000-05:002008-10-08T18:37:00.000-05:00Rose, we have rain, too!!!!!Soft, gentle rain that...Rose, we have rain, too!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Soft, gentle rain that might last for two days.<BR/><BR/>Heaven.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-70402076446869733822008-10-08T16:37:00.000-05:002008-10-08T16:37:00.000-05:00Pah!

We're just never satisfied:)<BR/><BR/>Frances, I always put off planting bulbs till the last minute, so I might as well wait until the ground is softer:)<BR/><BR/>Garden Girl, I'm sure not everyone was as pleased about the rain as I. You may not have finished your jobs, but it should be easier for you once you go back.<BR/><BR/>Wendy, I saw your video/slide show--much more professional than mine, LOL. We must be thinking alike:)<BR/><BR/>Lisa, I'm glad you could hear it, because I realized afterward you couldn't really see it:) I had to resist the urge yesterday afternoon to lay down for a nap.<BR/><BR/>Cindy, The rain will certainly make planting easier!<BR/><BR/>Joyce, I think sometimes I am never satisfied with the weather. Yesterday's rain,though, was perfect, and the last few days haven't been too shabby either:)<BR/><BR/>Gail, I am so glad some of this rain came your way!
