In The Merry, Merry Month of May

                  We had SOS one day~~~In the Merry, Merry Month of May
                                            May 14, 2013 We met a Sybil's house for 
                                                   Breakfast..............

                                 Sybil had a fantastic Breakfast ready for us when we arrived     at 9:00 a.m.. We had a breakfast casserole, pigs in a blanket, watermelon, danish pastries, biscuits, fried pies, juices and milk. Then we headed outside too full to 
                                                           work!!!
                        That was her sneaky little plan.  She took us on a  
                            consultation tour.  she ask about companion plants,
                        When and how to fertilize so we fertilized and
                            pulled a stray weed or two.  It was a fabulous day!!          
                                           SUNNY, CRISP and COOL.
                          She had a cute little montage at the corner of her home.
Margaret fertilizes.
                                    Her strawberries were beautiful!

The roses were KNOCK-OUTS!
                                 Her vegetable beds were full and healthy.
                              Carol gave us a White Texas Star Hibiscus!!!
                                                  Thanks Carol!
                                           We have a new Siren!
                                       Welcome Nancy Peterson !  (In white shirt.)
We are glad to have garden friends to play with us.
Then Sybil revved up the All Terrain Vehicle
and we took a tour of Nancy's new home.
Nancy is Sybil's neighbor.
