Hoping you are enjoying cooler weather and lots of late blooms ... can just imagine your Minnie Pearl hat-tag fluttering in the garden breeze. But ... now you have your readers on the edge of their seats ... no news for a month ... is blondy still agitating the household? shorty still building a more solid relationship? kids with more than two teeth yet? Sometimes no news is truly good news - life settles down to a milder roar and we are amazed at how much we handled. And, you have handled much. Blessings to you for making it through so many storms!

have another one almost ready to post. i loved minnie pearl and the thought of gardening in her hat has always been appealing. thank you for commenting. i use the blog as a relief valve and know that a lot of people might think the venue inappropriate, but it makes me feel better, soooo...

minnie pearl was such a great comedienne; wore her hat on her sleeve if you will ;) ... and you generate similarly often-comedic-relief too, with gardening showcased as an oasis from the storms of life. it is your blog, and no one else need read it if they don't get its humorous entendre, so it is a good venue to utilize as a steam-valve, personal journey, nature-as-nurture journal. you have a writer's touch, an artist's eye, and i'll be looking forward to seeing your update.

thank you,
