Susan, Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday today and many more! Dawn

Here is my about me. My birthday is in July but since it was taken already by the originater of the robin, I am the APRIL person. It was the nearest month left open and works out nicely because it was my mother's birthday month. My favorite color is blue and I do have a preference for blue flowers. I love Iris, and have been adding a lot of Siberian Iris to my gardens the last year.But really I love about anything that is blooming. I am adding a "fairy garden" to an area outside my bedroom that has sun and shade areas. I am trying to add plants with fairy in the name or with bell shaped flowers as well as fairy statues. I have also added several clematis to my garden last year and am waiting to see how they turn out. I am also working on a garden of pink flowers for my little 1 year old granddaughter. I love bulbs, spring,summer or fall flowering. It is very very hot and dry here in the summer and we have alkaline clay soil. I like decorative socks, bird houses, garden ornaments of about any kind, chocolate,and love to read gardening books and magazines. And since some are talking ages, I will be the big 50 this year and loving every minute of it.

Happy Birthday Ashley! AB, you have a lovely family, and Ashley looks gorgeous with her new hairstyle which goes so well with her oval face. Looks like a razor cut, is it? I did quite a few of those cuts during the punk era, and I always wanted to try a similar cut, but was afraid I'd end up in the emergency room if I attemped do it myself, and never trusted anyone else to do it for me. So Ashley wanted cash for her birthday? If it'll make you feel any better, Sammi wanted a gas card for hers - What Le F? Makayla and Bruvver are still precious, but growing up way too fast. Quit it.

Do you have any ideas as to what she enjoys? Does she play with a lot of dolls, if so maybe some doll clothes or other accessories. Maybe some fun educational games--either a computer game or just a board game. Stuffed animal Dress up clothes Movie tickets--if she hasn't seen something like Monster's Inc.--??
