Nope. I act like Susan. The s.o. claims the mold broke afte rme as the
world couldn't take more than one without coming apart at the seams.

Clearly your sense of the Joy of Life has overpowered the stars,
grahhshoppah!

Oh yeah. I'ld never get very far with a formal garden with a colour
scheme. Witness my trip to Witherspoon's to get another Pristine and
coming home with Granada because the colour caught my eye. Glorious,
riotous colours are my delight. I also don't like things laid out just
*so*. It's too artificial to my eye and because of that tends to take
away some of the enjoyment for me. Not saying I don't like it in other
people's gardens but I don't want to live with it day in and day out.

This sounds damned near unbearably cute. Which mailorder? And when can
we see it?

It is unbearably cute. Just like my toad houses under my bushes that no
one notices unless I choose to tell them. *grin* Anyway, I ordered it
from http://www.bestnest.com I think one of my neighbour's is having
horrors over the "invasion" of ladybugs I am going to bring on when I
put it up.

When all of you can see it depends upon me getting back to tackling my
test server. I refuse to cop out and put the photos up on my current
site as then I will have no motivation to get this other server done.

As long as we are moving in a positive direcetion we are doing fine! I
hear that changes in later life to "as long as we are moving ... at
all!

My family has a history of keeping going until we drop. My g'father had
a large garden that he kept every year up until his death at 88. I
truly believe you're as young as you want to be. My mom is very young
for her age and does remarkable stuff despite her physical disabilites.
I get in trouble with my friends in PA if we make plans to go out and
I don't bring her with me!
