Congratulations to 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners ... hope to see photo's of your new plants in the database in the future and congratulations to the Acorn winners too ... more acorns to stash away for future raffles!

The video's get better and better every time! Love the smiles and laughter those beautiful children bring! Baby Rosebud is growing up so fast and is such a pretty girl and oh my, the boys are such cuties! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful family with all of us. Now, get into the air conditioning! Green Grin!

Edited to add: Dave, you look great in those glasses, very studious and professor like.
