Ingrid---the rain stopped after two weeks and then it got very hot---not good conditions for roses----plus we have a new phone which I haven't totally figured out yet. Hopefully I will be able to get a few good pictures---- Thanks for your concern Florence

"I just wonder why at this point a couple of degrees makes a difference.........LOL>" I think it is because of the rule of thumb. You know, the one that says you need another hot toddy for every five degrees colder it gets. ;)

My condolences. Although this is a difficult subject, you have a wonderful writing style that just makes a reader want to read more. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts and life experiences. Regards, --John

Jean, the way I do it is copy the HTML tag from Photobucket(by clicking on it, you'll see a tiny "copied" message) then paste it into the message of your post. When you preview the message the photo should appear. Just make sure to leave space before and after the photo message so all of your text is still there. Amy
