You're making me hanker badly for a Mexico dive trip--though all of my experience is Yucatan peninsular. I'd love to hear more about where you're diving and what it's like. And I love a good eel tale--plus, I think morays feel like oiled velvet. I've enjoyed your winter's postings. Have a safe trip north.

Great sites and good info. I got an excellent for my score but I already knew what I would get a good score because I had been putting it into practice what plants are good for my area with a few not on the list, being daylilies. These are drought tolerant but do best with more water. So I plan on getting rain barrels for them. Thank you for the great sites I hope that new gardeners see this and will heed the reason why we must use earth friendly products for our land. Last year I made a new bed on the side of the house that I only see when leaving the house or going into the back yard but my neighbors see it all the time. They have enjoyed it more than I have. I planted Rose of Sharon been there for four years but added a butterfly bush, two evergreen salvias and two red yuccas, this is my no water garden being that I didn't want to add on more work and having to water yet another bed, it worked out great. I'm kind of wishing it was where I could see it more often :) Barb

Thanks everyone! I really loved this project and am inspired to get the Full sized one done and on my bed! Deanna, this one doesn't have a designated home just yet. I'm enjoying it for now.

His quotes tell me he was a practical man, steady and down to earth but not boring. He made a great contribution to society. Thank you for the quotes, Don, they are perfect to start the work week.
