hey Travis, I've been unable to get onto the newsgroup but at least I
have the internet! if you would let those know that i'm hanging by
Vinca vines gbseg massive storms the last three days. over 8 inches
of rain so far in faerie holler and the ridge, lightening struck Miz
Mary's tree and split it in half..no damages that I can tell yet to my
holler and woods. old fashioned phlox and Mary Emma's white and pink
striped phlox driving the hummmingbird moths insane. had a most magical
moment with the Rufus hummer in the SIX FOOT YELLOW 4'O CLOCKS, he
didn't see me or care. sipped and squeeked and ignored me and then hung
out in the Blue Enigma salvia which isn't as thick but came back despite
the freezes. life is..........intense. but I'm a tough old girl, I am
trying to get to where the glasses are prescribed and then will find a
job, something anything. will work two part time's if I HAVE TO just
getting too old for this crap. (((((huge hug)))))
