white blossoms and now they look like twisted wads of brown paper
toweling.
whaaaaaa!

I am so sorry. I hope it will resume blooming once it warms up. I remember
how changable and bitter, bitter cold March and early April could be in
MD. No fun when things have started to bloom.


Did you have more serious rain there? I watched the weather channel
predictions. Seems like a good year to become a rice farmer there Hmmm

Yes, that's about right. G But where we are all the excess water runs
off. There are those who have built in the flood plane, but I was careful
not to buy one of those places. We have a mall that is underwater every
other year or so due to stupid and greedy developers and an indifferent
city council.


Have you planted your pretty new blues? I want to
see!!!!!

Everybody is in the ground, and I want you to see too, but I still have to
decide on which digital camera to get--then round up the funds to get one.
Then I'll be so happy to share you might regret asking! G
