Congrats, Auntie! Is he anywhere *close* to ND???? lol

If you are finding a dearth of people upon whom to bestow said daylilies... I'd be a willing and grateful recipient! :) It seems when I thinned mine, I got rid of all of one kind, so now I only have one kind. :(

I remember many years ago (1986 actually) I had stitched he Statue of Liberty, with the flag furled behind her, as a prize in the raffle at the VFW.

Well, my Dad died, so I had to rush off to England. When I got back a couple of weeks later, there was my "Lady" sitting where I had left her, at the Post Home, but with a blue ribbon attached to her from the County Fair. Jim had taken her down and entered her, unbeknown to me.

The one and only entry I ever had.

Joan...that is just fantastic!!!! You are so incredibly skilled.

I have been killing TV time knitting preemie baby hats. Some are so tiny, I can barely envision a head that small!!

I have some socks to start this summer for DGDs.

Gill

Adding you to the list.

Cheryl

Just goes to show you should enter more!

Joan

Ooooooo, goody! Thanks, Cheryl!

I don't think there is much of a county fair down here in the swamps. If there is, it is probably mostly kids and their 4H projects, rides etc. Somehow I can't picture the proper northern County Fair working too well here.

Could have wheelchair races..and who can throw their cane the furthest and so forth.

Gill

LOL! Great idea, Gill! You should suggest it to the mayor's office.

This is almost embarassing to admit....I should preface this with, "I am a gardening novice, and a reluctant gardener": those daylilies are fine. Turns out, they're just later than the other daylilies, and they're a dark purple-color bud. So what I thought was dried out and shrivelled turns out to be young and dark-colored. They started to bloom day before yesterday, and I was amazed....I don't remember them being that color last year! (And, of course, they're peeking out from behind a bunch of bindweed that I can't conquer, and it's been too hot/dry to do much out there. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.)

Hee hee - I have daylilies that start blooming in late May and are over with in June and some that won't bloom for weeks yet. And one or two that will still be going when the frosts arrive
