Greg - as long as I can brush it off I think I'll be okay then.
Auntie M - you're right. Maybe I'll start gardening now with that perspective...yeah, right! Let's be honest...that's not going to happen. I do enjoy sitting in the garden visiting while Mom's working on her plant beds though (and actually have been known to get my hands dirty occasionally and actually help!). I suppose if I want plants in the planter I'm going to have to suffer through a little dirt.
