Mika, not stupid at all- I love how language and subtle meanings differ in different areas, it is a source for many great chuckles! I hear lots of differences right here in Kentucky. I started comparing iris sizes to underwear after that, I guess the dwarf varieties are little thongs! Rolling on the floor laughing

Now Neal, if dwarfs are thongs, what pray tell are the miniature dwarfs? Whistling

Conversation? We have conversations? Hilarious!

Mary Ann - have you gotten Centerline, or is that still a "to share" with you?

Well, hopefully I can get a better picture when it blooms..

Taking a break.. been setting gopher traps and weeding... weeding... weeding... I'm trying to muster up the energy to mow...
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Thank Gabriel and Tom...have to see what my hubby thinks about going the northern route.


Is there a term for when the falls look too big (or out of proportion) for the standards? I'm thinking something like Decadence or Confusione.
