Go for it, Marian! You can do the same thing on a smaller scale on your deck. In fact, I bet you already have just by grouping the potted plants. Do you have a bakerÂs rack or old table to add heightÂso you can work without bending over? Look around for items you can repurpose to plant inÂa cracked tea cup, wooden box or metal pan. Plant some cuttings or rescue the next clearance annuals you find in the parking lot when you go to the grocery store. Add a few little items that make you smile, a pretty rock or something you found of interest around the yard and youÂll have a neat little vignette to share! I would love to see whatÂs on your deck right now! Eden, I should also clarify my fairy garden is not exactly a "garden"Âmore of a nook with shade plants where I indulge in the whimsical. DH will be home soon to badger me about going to buy a new camera and after I learn how to use it (thatÂs what I donÂt enjoy) IÂll get back to posting photos. We have company coming in the 3rd week of July and then IÂm looking forward to a nice, quiet August. Time for a few projects, make changes in the garden (begin shuffling again) have more time to Idyll at my leisure, and pick up a book without thinking of more pressing things I have to get doneÂaaaah sounds good! This was supposed to be a quick reply to Marian and I just kept typing because I donÂt want to get involved in #484 right now. When DH comes through the door, IÂm going to hit him up for quick take out Chinese. The heat and humidity are murderous again today Âwatering the gardens, replenishing supplies here and running errands has left me unwilling to lift a finger. Remember the old saying?Â"ItÂs hot enough to make you wanna slap your grandma" Well, itÂs just about that, lol.

Hi Ppod. People can also open their link in a new window with: (A HREF="http://www.linkedwebsite.com" TARGET="_blank")description of the link goes here(/A) again, replacing ( ) with .

I was just in a "quilter's swap" organized in a parking lot by a small quilt shop - got rid of alot of fabric and other things there, plus we can take unwanted fabric and odds and ends to our retreat to a "free" table, and I do that twice a year. It's a good idea, hope it will work out. Also, every once in a while someone will post something free to whoever emails them first.

ICF I am so sorry to hear that. As a matter of fact I was not given good treatment at our local ER...sigh. I was sent home and they actually told my DH that I didn't have a concussion ! I had been out cold ! I was sent home with a face that looked like a partially peeled eggplant. My lower lip was ripped inside and they ignored it even though I kept crying and saying my mouth hurt. Needless to say I was admitted 2 days later with a severe infection and temps 104. 3 day hospital stay and my wonderful surgeon was furious with the ER. Unfortunately my mouth couldn't be repaired as too much time had gone by. I was just lucky that my brain injury healed itself as no one took me seriously on that score. Our medical communities bear a lot of responsibility for the poor recovery of some patients. I am sorry that you didn't get a great outcome but I am so glad for you that you have a fantastically supportive family. c
