Potting Prep



















Tonite I am clearing out The Shed to make room for
8 motivated ladies to come over and pot the
colossal amaryllis bulbs for the Press On Fund
as described on Tuesday.


Team Tennis has a goal of 100 to meet, and believe me,
this group is fueled by a challenge like this!




















This is the result of last year's potting effort.
Could someone tell my dear hubby that I need more room...??!!




More tomorrow.

Blessings from the Garden.
PS...All entries for "Porches on Parade" will be voted on soon...

Press On: Potting for Patrick



This Friday, a half dozen or so of my tennis buddies will gather in The Shed to pot up Amaryllis bulbs for the Press On Fund to Cure Childhood Cancer. My friend Kris has received over 1000 orders for the aromatic paper whites and the colossal amaryllis which we pot and wrap in a festive Christmas cloak.

There are several "potting party hostesses" who invite "Press ON angels" to come pot for this movement. We've surpassed the order goal of 1000, so now it's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work.

More on Friday.Blessings from the Garden.

Seeds of Hope

Many of you have been following the battle of little Patrick Chance in his fight against Neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer. I spoke to my garden buddy (Patrick's grandmother), Kris, yesterday, and found out Patrick has more tumors in skull and chest.



Needless to say, the rest of day was spent thinking and praying for this young life. Kris has worked tirelessly to raise money for the Press On Fund which supports Neuroblastoma research. Neuroblastoma is a cancer of the sympathetic nervous system. It is believed that immature nerve cells get mixed signals and develop into blastomas(tumors) and never make it to mature normal nerve cells. The cause of Neuroblastoma is still unknown.

Click on www.pressonfund.org to see pictures of Patrick and learn more about Neuroblastoma.


Kris pleads for our prayers for Patrick and his family. She has worked so hard selling "seeds of hope", Patrick's Amaryllis bulbs & paperwhites at Christmas and driving the "Johnny Hensley and the Red Hots" concert last year. All to raise money for Childhood Cancer research.
