Bob, there are way to many to pick just ONE BEST picture :-) Kylie, I am SO busy with trying to get everything ready for the vacation....Thinking about you a lot and the great time we had. Hopefully AFTER the vacation I will have a life again and can get in touch with you. Until then, potted up the Cuttings today because I do not want hubby to deal with cuttings in water. Hey guys, Kylie has the biggest smile that comes right from the heart. If I had not signed that waver, I would show you :-) Kristy how was it being back at work ? Rigo you just enjoy your children, the time together. The fresh veggies..oh man yumm. We are here when ever you got time to say hello. Lucy

Tally IS my name, it's my real name, not short for anything, not a nickname. I sign Tally HO! cause it's easy to remember. I do love this plant. It blooms twice a year for us. And it smells great. Planted one in my moms yard also. We're about 10-15 degrees colder than usual this year. There has been ICE in the dog bowl on the back deck TWICE this year! HORRORS! We call each other if we have ice it's such a rare event. And twice in one year!! Ick! I'm a big weenie when it comes to temps, I'll take 100 hot and humid anyday over cold. Tally HO!

Just to let you know that Lowes at the RIM is having a managers special and all amaryllis bulbs are half price. They have roots and some are blooming so you can see the bloom. I bought 12 more bulbs to add to all those I bought last year. I will post pictures as soon as they start to blooming. I seems I have not been at the coast for a long time. I hope we go this weekend, I need to bring in my plants before we get a freeze. Albert is just 17 miles from me, he has already had a freeze at his house. Its crazy how that happens down there, same happens when it rains. Barbra

I live in an urban area so we don't see many deer. But I also sometimes drive between LA and Vancouver where there are lots of woods. I try very hard not to be on the road at dusk or around daybreak and if I have to, I want someone in the car with me spotting the sides of the road while I look straight ahead. Even so, I've had to do it alone at night. It's the most stressful kind of driving I can think of. But maybe when you've survived a collision or two it gets easier. I suspect I'd be completely traumatized even if the car and the deer survived! Glad your sister walked away from it!
