A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall cool picture of the spinner Jiffy sent me

in the rain

those are great pictures sheri! i'm glad you like it

very nice, Sheri-----
Jiffy that was a good choice.

Those really are wonderful pictures! A nice gift and I love Mother Nature's additions.

Those are awesome pictures!! I got a spinner like that from Loz. Mine is put away for the winter now. Do you leave that kind of stuff out year round, Sheri? I suppose you can there.

I leave everything out all year long.

Sheri Does it twirl much in the wind?? or do you have to spin it,? I like the colors on it.

That looks like a very nice gift, I like the beads of rain on the photo.

it spins when it's windy.

I bet it looks nice, spinning, I've not seen one long like that,,

first one I've seen too. I have another but it's the sun and is sort of round and then I have a blue one (of course).

I think I'll start looking for a long spinner like that,, ,,,,, I like it,,. Hobby Lobby has probably started putting their spring things out now that Christmas is over

I'll keep my eye out too. I'll bet Jiffy will tell us where it came from.

OMGOSH I just looked on line at Hobby Lobby they already have gazing balls and garden spinners and statues and and gardening stuff 50% off!!!! I know where I'm going on my lunch break tomorrow! I hope they have solar Balls Sheri!!!!! :wink:

OH goody---solar balls----how wonderful for you .............

I have looked at this for a couple of hours now and i just cannot think of anything to say. But it makes me laugh every time I look.

Silly!

Carol,, I know there are a couple of Members that have been looking for them with no luck,, I've been keeping an eye out for them to send to others,, I guess I'll find out on my lunch break today, I always have to take a limited amount of $$ when I go to Hobby Lobby,, I can easily spend way too much $$ in that store if I'm not careful,, there are just too many things there I want but don't need
I probably have enough solar balls in my yard,, maybe a 'few' more wouldn't hurt I definitely will be looking at gazing balls and the stands, and keeping my fingers crossed they have unique spinners

Diane - working on that landing strip in your backyard again?

But seriously... I hope you didn't burn too large a hole in your pocket at Hobby Lobby today!

me too. that is funny.

wellllllllllllll I might

they didn't have any solar balls But they said they are pretty sure some will come in later probably the end of Feb,,
BUT they had lots of gazing balls and stands,, not too many spinners but they were still stocking shelves for the sale,
I did get a bird feeder tho ,, for 7 dollars 1/2 price,, already filled it hung it in a tree.

Diane, did you print off the 25% off coupon? I just went to the website (didn't know there was one until you mentioned it) and printed off the coupon. I think I'll go there tomorrow. I've never been. I thought it was just stuff for crafting, flower arranging or hobby stuff.

SHeri the coupon I saw for printing out was for Drapery,,,,, I think,

Hobby Lobby has soooooooo much stuff,, really beautiful stuff,, from wall hangings for inside and out,, to purses,, to Chrystal ware,, to crafts stuff,, to holiday and gardening things,,,,, I saw the most awesome fairys and gnomes there,, But they weren't on sale .. to furniture,, rugs and toss pillows,, throws etc,,,,,
materials and yarns,,, and very organized,, At least the two here are,, I love that store,,,,!! Let me know what you think of it

my coupon is for anything regularly priced item in the store.

Wanna hear something strange. I was just online with a friend from my old job and she asked me if I want to go to Hobby Lobby tomorrow. We've NEVER been to Hobby Lobby together before. I didn't know she ever went to Hobby Lobby.

That is so sad--my favorite nursery with the large gift shop has lots of gazing balls, but alas no solar balls. he told me he might try to get some solar balls in this next spring---so I will watch for sure.--That willl be so cool....

a new bird feeder---good for you --and well the birds will sure be happy----

I was looking at finch feeders today--mine keeps loosing its top--andf that is not a good thing---so I will have to buy a new one myself

talk about a coincident huh?? Good she will know where things are since she'd been before ,, it's a fun store to explore,, I hope you like it

Carol Walmart ( at least in my area) has all the bird feeders on sale maybe you can find a new one finch feeder there?

You'd have to pay me to go to WalMart in Monroe. Since it became a super store it's so crowded it's unbelievable. A lot of the employees don't speak English and can't even answer questions about where things are.

I liked 1 Wal-mart in the world--they re-designed it and now I do not like even it----I think they must have goitten rid of storage space so as to make the store bigger----

I was not a fan before, but things were cheaper and in this day and age that usually won out in this house---BUT now I either go somewhere else or stay away completely--well as much as possible....

I don't mind going there *walmart* What I do mind are the long lines while there are 20 check outs lanes there are only 3 open with 35 people deep in each lane,,

So Sheri Did you go to Hobby Lobby today??

I just got back from Hobby Lobby and I finally got me a gazing ball. BUT it says not to put outside in winter.

So can the weather you have there even be considered as "winter"????

Sheri I haven't brought mine in yet,,,,
The snow may have something to do with not having outside all winter,, and below freezing,, maybe it would take the Shine off the gazing balls and possibly crack them ?? it hasn't gotten that cold here enough for me to bring it once it snows and stays below 32 for a while then I'll bring them in,

the water in our bird baths has frozen several times already so is that too cold to put out? It's spring time now though so I guess I could put it out and then bring it back in - if I remember.
