my most sincere thanks

[madgardener]

My most sincere thanks to those of you who have responded with cyber hugs
and real tears for the loss of my little Lioness, Sweetie. I appreciate
your compassion. There is a time to grieve and then there is the rest of
life. On a garden note........I found some small Hellebore buds on one of
the clumps of plants. woo hoo!! My pink butterfly bush beside my nook door
is loaded with silvery leaves and it's going to take the constitution of
iron to whack it back this spring before it wakes up. And in about two
weeks I will be back in outside Lawn and Garden with my babies instead of on
the front cash registers at werk >g<

Again, thanks for your kindness towards me in my grief. (Squire is freezing
his butt off in Wisconsin on a cargo run....but he'll be back in this area
soon, so at least he has a JOB!!)

getting ice and snow) back in Fairy Holler, overlooking English Mountain
which is caped in clouds drifting eastward in shades of blue gray and pink
with the sunlight of dawn streaked thru them, in Eastern Tennessee..zone 7,
sunset zone 36

What the devil...? How did I miss this?

Sympathies on your loss, MG.

I sent you an e-mail privately the other day with a general hello (haven't
heard back though, hint, hint!). I hope the ice and snow have eased up on
you down there in NC -- we're doing better up here in SW Ohio, save for the
freezing temps. Fell on my butt today when I went outside to get the
mail -- snow had melted and flowed down the sidewalk, making it look wet but
it was pure ice. Not fun!

Guess I was not paying attention to the newsgroup. Sorry about Sweetie...here's
a big hug for you. No sure how I'll cope when my Missy isn't with us anymore.
She's been around for 17 years and still loves to bring me various critters
from her hunts.
