and we're FINALLY gonna get RAIN today!!!!!!!

Glad someone's rejoycing at seeing rain coming ....!!! We are not
amused here you know!!!! ;o)

I'm rejoycing though ... that you're still around! I was thinking
about you yesterday, wondering when we would next read you. Because
you know, I would for one be happy to read you once a week in my week
end news papers. Not jokking. Stumbled on your "Morning thoughts and a
mind tearing inventory of sorts..." or what abou tthe " A ripping
Spring day in January, old friends and ancient blooming shrubbery ..."
read (I'm a fan and collector see) and I felt terrible thinking we
might not be able to read you again.

Now, you could make a fortune with a weekly column somewhere in
England. Again I'm not kidding around. Have you thought about that? Do
you want me to give you some contacts? Just imagine how easy it could
be!

YOU KNOW..................IF YOU'RE a collector, you could send me those
quickly (and there's another e-mail you can send them to, a most beloved
dear friend who WOULD collect and save them for me, honest!

Will do - no problem! As for the book ... a column would make you
richer! I've collected you since I had an American teacher to whom I
kept forwarding your ramblings. She loved them because like you she
just loved her garden, is an horticulturist (and geologist /
ecologist / environmentalist) but also was as mad as you ;o))) She
missed the States as well. Could do you a data disk too - just email
me your address.

We've been planning a trip to the states for sometimes now, waiting
for my youngest to get stronger legs on him, and would planned to
visit people we know and LOVE!. We'd start in New York (my sis has
been there for 15 years) and make our way westwards and south a bit to
Mashell in Virginia, then perhaps get to you?!? Lots of lakes around
you isn't it. Would love camping around there. Will ask tips closer to
realising our plans and dreams )
