Monkeys Doing Laundry

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was finishing up two loads of laundry. I went to put up Monkeys #2 and #3 things and I found that mess down below. This is why I cannot keep up with the laundry. They are hording it. I am not doing this ANYMORE. I know these boys are only 8 and 10 , but they are going to do that laundry. They are going to wash it, they are going to dry it, they are going to fold it, and they are going to put it away. If they ever do me this way again, they will do the laundry again. I know, I know - Don't be so mean. Just have them bring it to you. I asked all three of these boys to bring me their laundry last night. #1 did it, but the other two just brought me enough to keep me from checking on them. You know I am not a good housekeeper. I don't want to be a perfect housekeeper. That would take too much time away from gardening, quilting, blogging, and talking to Meme on the phone. Don't worry, I will supervise. Don't worry, I won't scream or cry. I won't call you and scream and cry. Sorry about that Bec. Spell check is still busted. Sorry.

Laundry Drama

Got a Lost fix.

Wasn't it wonderful. Who are the last two of the Oceanic Six? Was Locke in the casket? Was Kate with Sawyer when they got back. Poor Hurley. Charley made me cry-stupid tv show. Why does Hurley think they need to go back. How can Jack's dad be alive when they get back? Was the lady behind Hurley with the long blonde braid Juiliette? Can't wait to next week. My spell check is not working, sorry.

LOST IS BACK

Okay, here I am with about 10 billion other bloggers getting all twitterpated because Lost is finally back on tonight. I love this show, well more like creepy stalk it. I have the DVDs of all the past seasons. I have a special pillow I sit on in front of the TV to watch the show. We tape it to look at background stuff later (milk cartons, photos, newswpapers, writing on the wall). I did not realize until last night that I should be looking for anagrams and playing with all the numbers. I mananged to get Manly Man sucked into it last season. He internet searches for stuff about the show. So that is what I am doing today. Waiting for 8:00 central time to feed my obsession.

Green Eggs and Buck Roses

I worked for a dear friend today. We cut back and pruned some of her Buck roses. They were very large as she has not been able to prune them. They were part of a rose trial and had to be left completely alone - no pesticide, no fungicide, no fertilizer, no deadheading, no nothing period. I don't know how she did it. I'd have cheated and deadheaded. This is why I am not allowed on rose trials.

It was a very pleasant, if somewhat cold day. I really enjoyed myself. I came away with some goodies; cuttings of five types of Buck Roses to propagate and cool colored eggs from her chickens. Yes, the chickens lay colored eggs -green and brown. The varieties (of the roses not the chickens) are Enchanted Autumn, April Moon, Earth Song, and Barn Dance. Oops, I seemed to have mislaid a label again and don't know the name of the fifth rose. Aren't the other names lovely. Oh yeah, here it is, it's called Prairie Flower.

I am still waiting for your zones. Here is the map. Make me happy. Participate in the poll.

Okay, for all my sisters, you are in zone 8. Oh, not you Birdie you are in zone 6, I think. Are you still in Texas?
