Oh yes we have had snow, cold, rain and hail, as a matter of fact I had my furnace on all last weekend and first of the week, but these past couple of days weather wise has been absolutely beautiful. This is my first year for planting so I am learning as I go, hopefully they will eventually grow, if not I will try again next year, you know, the "do it till I do it right thing" Have a great Sunday..<br />...:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-69309855562570855642009-06-13T22:37:38.225-06:002009-06-13T22:37:38.225-06:00Brenda, I am so happy to have you back my friend, ...Brenda, I am so happy to have you back my friend, hope you enjoyed your mini break.

You are probably right about about my glads, I really love that flower as my dad grew them every year. As I learn more I will do better.<br />Take care my friend, I care...HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-74731536879963264692009-06-13T19:26:22.913-06:002009-06-13T19:26:22.913-06:00Thanks for visiting my blog today.

It all depends on the soil temperature when you planted them, and the depth that you planted them. We only covered ours with 3 inches of soil to begin with. When we saw growth, we would continue to cover soil over them until we reached ground level. Being that you are in Alberta, it might take a while. My blogger friend "Sarah's Jottings" posted pictures of snow in Calgary about two weeks ago. Did you have those cooler temps too?tainterturtleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10307790480251741661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-23207666230233719182009-06-13T17:14:35.105-06:002009-06-13T17:14:35.105-06:00I watched the Senior President Bush make his skydi...I watched the Senior President Bush make his skydive live on T.V. too...it was so neat of him to do...did you see his wife Barbara rush to give him a kiss as soon as he took off the chute when he landed? I thought it was so cute!!!<br />I could never do that, I am scared of heights.<br />Sounds like you had a lovely day, Bernie...good for you!<br />And, congrats. on the weight loss and exercise success.<br />I haven't had good luck at all with gladiola bulbs. Plus, I am too lazy to dig them back up and bring them into safety every fall. I prefer the perennials that just come back every year. Try daylillies...they are beautiful and there are a lot of varieties that will be hardy where you live. No need to dig them up every year, either!The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-56242556799992675982009-06-13T10:12:28.298-06:002009-06-13T10:12:28.298-06:00Dear Bernie,

WOW 46 inches, you must of lost tons of weight as well. I can't imagine you being that size as you look so good in your pictures. Curves is a good thing!<br />Yes, Wanda seems to think my glads will come but I hadn't told her I had planted them in a planter that may be to shallow as Marcy suggested. If they don't come through I will plant them deeper next year, live and learn that's me.

(Now yesterday I ate weight watcher's 100% whole wheat bread and light/no fat mayonaisse) but there have been many times I had them with thick slices of home made bread, butter...a couple of layers of tomatoes....delicious. That's when I was a kid of course, so long ago.<br />I too loved Barbara Bush, she seems so kind and graceful. My favorite was Jackie Kennedy..I remeber as a young girl how she dressed and wore her hair....you would almost thing I was American but no I am a proud Canadian who loves her neighbors to the south.<br />Have a great day....-:) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-40940527881317903482009-06-13T09:24:28.988-06:002009-06-13T09:24:28.988-06:00Good Morning, I am so content when I see you have ...Good Morning, I am so content when I see you have posted each morning, it means so much. You know Wanda I just may have planted wrong as Marcy was saying, too deep or to shallow..... I did plant them in a rectangle planters which are not very deep. I have no land too use in my backyard. Oh well, live and learn for next year. <br />When you mentioned bird feeders I checked mine and sure enough they were nearly empty so I refilled them. When I lay in bed I hear their chirpping from my window but I never see them. Now that I know they are there, and getting a full belly, I am so happy. One day I will be able to catch a picture when they come to dinner.<br />Have a great day my friend....<br />and weekend.....:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-59660374875904984382009-06-13T09:14:48.316-06:002009-06-13T09:14:48.316-06:00Hi Marcy, you could be right about my bulbls as I ...Hi Marcy, you could be right about my bulbls as I plantd them in a rectangle container (I have no ground) oh well I will have to wait and see ( I will let you know) I will take pictures for you.<br />Am off outsied....:-)HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-61087179805019333112009-06-13T09:12:20.597-06:002009-06-13T09:12:20.597-06:00Hello Stillness, yes I am happy to say I am making...Hello Stillness, yes I am happy to say I am making progress, it's fun for me to meet a challenge or a goal.

I always admired him and Barbara Bush, and I took such a liking to Laura Bush too.<br /><br />Congratulations on the weight-loss! And you are too funny about where that weight wants to come off! I never lose it where I want to (which is my thighs and rear! I always lose on the top where I can't afford to lose!), oh well, I guess our bodies want to maintain a certain shape. Mine is pear-shaped, if I lose weight the bottom is the last place it comes off, if I gain weight that is the first place it goes on!<br /><br />You sound rested and happy. Well, you always sound happy! And coming here always lifts my spirits, thanks!<br />Oh, you said you had a tomato sandwich for lunch, I love tomatoes but never thought of making a sandwich of them. Good idea! My grandson just got hooked on them, thank goodness, because he eats NO fruits or vegetables!<br /><br />Have a good day, Bernie!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332172694810833250.post-36988851729731594062009-06-13T05:41:57.107-06:002009-06-13T05:41:57.107-06:00Good morning Bernie...
