Well, Robin; you are most welcome!! I'm really glad you and LF enjoyed it so much! (Hope you had popcorn to munch on, also! :o) She really is an incredible woman in so many ways----just 'bucking the system' is a great feat in itself! Wish we had more good movies like that being made.

Kathy ~ your garden is fantastic. I enjoyed the tour via the web. I get inspired everytime someone shares pictures of their gardens or others gardens. Thanks for these wonderful pictures Evelyn and the link to Kathy's gardens. FlowerLady

Thanks again Shirley! Melvalena, Larkspur is one of my very favorite plants. Anyone who is the least bit interested in a cottage type garden should have it. Once it's planted it comes back reliably every year. Sometimes it comes up in odd places like under this bench, but it looked so neat there that I didn't let Bob cut it when he mowed the grass. Larkspur is the only reliable reseeding annual that I grow, but I just planted a row of bronze colored Cosmos (from ARE) along the drive way to go behind the Blue Plumbago and between three bright yellow Thyralis bushes, and Patty tells me it reseeds very nicely, so I'm excited about that. The butterflies are already all over it. Kathy, am I missing any other good reseeding annuals? Also some of the Larkspurs last until about mid-July and then they are pulled up (which is very easy to do), the seeds shaken around, and the stalks put on the compost pile. What a great plant!

Hi Darlene! I did receive your package. The Almond Roca you sent has already been consumed. That stuff is so good. The kids have eaten their candy too. I haven't had a chance to use the Xyron sticker maker yet. But, I just got off for the holidays. So,perhaps we'll get time to figure it out and play. I put the herb garden light in my sunroom. Its not so sunny this time of year though. That light might be the brightest thing out there. I put on my fluffy socks and read my Birds and Blooms right away. I love those fluffy socks. They are so soft! The envelopes and photo album will come in handy. I have more people to take pictures of now. Please take care of yourself and have a wonderful holiday. I have enjoyed having you as a Secret Pal. I do hope we can continue to correspond and keep intouch now that the swap has ended. The whole family would like to thank you for all you've done for us. Merry Christmas, Leann
