I'm still around, although I don't need many seeds anymore because my garden's now full! However I still am willing to send seeds to others who need them. I, like many others, use Mozilla, and am not bothered by pop-ups. I haven't noticed any slowness in the pages loading. I mostly check in on Northwest Gardens, but I take a look here and at Northern Gardens regularly. -Gord

Thanks Jan & Jean. This photo was a hit or miss. I really liked the look of the two blooms together better in person but it didn't turn out as well on the photos. It was pitch black where they were and I did not spend a lot of time taking the photos. The blooms are approx. 4" now. but when it is at its peak they are more like 5". Thanks. Jane

Finally Urlee - I've done one. Not smart like you but followed the tutorial that the lady was kind enough to find for me! Here's the tutorial (not that you need it)but it has a calendar template included which might help. http://www.designedbyrach.com/desktopcalendar.html You knew it would be a golf picture, but it's too dark for my liking - just had to prove I finally did it!

Interesting article about the Catalog Living creator: http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-live-0714-catalog-blogger-20100714,0,269118,full.column The concept she uses is not new. There was someone who did the same thing online with JCPenny catalogs years ago and it was hilarious. Catalog Living has that "uppercrust decorating" slant to it. I tried sharing Catalog Living with a friend and they just stared blankly as they read the captions. *Brave Yellow Sweater is my favorite. Here is a link that might be useful: Article
