Welcome back Chris Owens!
Xref: kermit rec.gardens:243561
For those of us who have read this ng for a longish time (i.e. years), I am surprised that none of the old timers has yet acknowledged the fact that Chris Owens has suddenly started posting again after a long absence. Welcome back Chris! Hope you are well! Now, where's John Riley and Gandy Dancer! For those who are puzzled, check the news group archive history at Google news. Best wishes Geoff |

Welcome back Chris Owens!
Thank you Geoff. I had to quit posting because my illness
reached a point where all the time I had was needed to run my life. Unfortunately, progressive diseases do, and two weeks ago I was kicked up to 'executive' . . . as in gardner, chef, housekeeper, etc. So, now I have lots and lots of free time whilst the -- they actually are a very nice couple, really; I'm just feeling sorry for myself -- people my husband hired run the household and help take care of me. Well, at least my mind still works; and, with the very nifty voice navigation controls on my computer, I can surf and post. [And pay the bills . . . I still get to be the family accountant. ] So, I'm back to have some fun!

Welcome back Chris Owens!
I second the welcome. Chris was very helpful to me when I was a beginner
gardener about five or six years ago. I think that all new gardeners really profit from this site because gardeners with years of experience still have time to answer simple basic questions for them and encourage them. So again - Let me add my thanks to Chris Owens.

Welcome back Chris Owens!
ahhh a bit late but here's a hug from the ol' madgardener, Chris. Good to
know yer mind is still sharp! I suffer sometimes from CRAFT myself on occaison since I've hit the post menopausal moments....GBSEG as for my gardening, it's as chaotic as ever. Almost frantic as I watch my hair get these long silver threads among the gold and red ones that reaches the waist and wonder when they had time to catch up?? I've missed you lady!! Zhan might not appear as she's working at a little store in Pennsacola, but on rare occasion I hear from her. Most times I wind up calling her, missing her by moments and say howdy to her sweet velvet voiced Bill or she's hiding out in New Mexico at her brother's place soaking up desperately needed desert time.......my posts are rare but I'm still here and it's nice to see you're back. Wonder where Ginny Pendergrass and sweet lil' IGROWROCKS went off too?? Since you've been gone Wendy has moved to the Pacific northwest, Annbal has remarried a sweetheart of a guy and is contemplating a move to Maine from her outskirts of Boston, Victoria is CURED!! (woo hoo!!), QueenAng moved from her home in Yipsilante to Conneticut and loves it, and we still love ol' curmudgeody Cereoid because he knows his stuff and his wit is dryer than ever g. You see we still have wise cracking Tomkanpa.... I can't believe it's been over six years since I met you on this newsgroup. care for some pics of the ol' madgardener's "madness" and fairy gardens? I've acquired a neat little camera and am digital and 'in yer face in the flowers and winged ones' nutzoid............ madgardener up on the ridge (still) back in Fairy Holler overlooking a hazy English Mountain in Eastern Tennessee, zone 7 (now) Sunset zone 36 "Chris Owens" wrote in message ...

And I second your second. Chris was the first person to answer a question for me on this group. Welcome back. Marilyn in Ohio |

Hey! My attendance here has been rather sporadic, so I just
noticed you were posting again after a long absence. So glad to see you back, Chris. -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |
