Chelone, The garden tour as stated in the title is not until the 22nd but I am glad you brought this subject up as I think we need to nudge idabean to get her camera ready, now mayalena is a mom of young kidlets so I would guess she would have a handle on the camera thing. Are you ladies now feeling the peer pressure, we have high expectations...shucks I wish we had a video of your car trip across the state!! Well we are all living vicariously through you both so have a wonderful time and we look forward to your report.

Casey, this is a fabulous site! Thank you so much for doing this every day. I always look for this post first! I also really love your photos of Newfoundland. I have always wanted to travel there and see it and your snaps just make me want to all the more (but in July or August, right?) lol!

I'm Jodi and
I'm a Swordfish.

Jodi, based on the results of the quiz, the fish you're closest to is a Swordfish!

You are a large and powerful migratory fish that can be found in oceanic regions worldwide, including the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. You are cold blooded and have special organs next to your eyes that warm your brain and eyes to improve your vision. You are often identified by your sword, a long flat bill that helps you swim faster, hunt for food, and defend yourself. You can weigh as much as 1400lbs, eat mostly squid, fish, and crustaceans and use your sword-like bill by stunning your prey. You prefer to swim and hunt alone.

You were once a very popular restaurant entrÃ©e, served at restaurants around the world. While chefs, supermarkets and people have agreed to not eat as many swordfish, you still face overfishing in many parts of the world. It is also difficult to track and manage your population because you tend to swim across international borders.

Rondo, based on the results of the quiz, the fish you're closest to is a Bluefin Tuna!

Often referred to as the Porsche of the sea, you can reach speeds of over 50mph, whilst swimming just beneath the waterÂs surface. You are warm-blooded, which is rare among fish, and have incredible migratory ability. You can be found in a large range of habitats -- occupying the cold waters around Newfoundland and Iceland to the warm waters of the tropics. You can grow to 14ft in length, weigh up to 1500 pounds, and live up to 30 years, whilst enjoying a diet of small fish, squid and crustaceans.

Unfortunately, you are also under critical threat from overfishing. As a popular seafood, you can be found in restaurants around the world - especially in sushi dishes - and you are a highly prized sports fish. But as demand exceeds supply, your population levels are endangered. This is reflected in your price as you are considered one of the worldÂs most valuable fish - a fellow bluefin sold for $172,400 at a Tokyo fish market.
