I send mine in the smallest bubble envie they will fit into. I haven't had a problem using, one, .58 cent stamp on my BE whether large or small. I don't ever take them to the PO, I put them in my mailbox and my wonderful mail man picks them up for me. No problem as of yet with postage due. I have been trading for years and have never had a problem. I do have a great mailman and I think if any that were mailed to me were postage lite he paid for them!!! Lucky Me!!

I'm having the same trouble trying to plant Sunflowers and while I haven't seen them, I'm almost positive it is the squirrels. We don't have deer or rabbit. It might have been a groundhog, but he would have eaten a lot of things and made a huge mess. I've sown the seeds three times already. After the first set of seedlings disappeared [all but two] I sowed more seed and put hardware cloth down over the seed area and some of those edges were sharp. They still managed to get in between them a little but it looked like they gave up. But, to get back at me, they pulled out the two remaining sunflower seedlings that were about 6 inches tall already. After the second set of seeds germinated, I didn't want them to grow up through the wire, so I took it off and weeded around them. Back they came and did the same thing. So I've started the third bath which are already up. I've kept the wire covering on and bent it up a little to allow the sunflower seedlings a little room to grow. This time I am not going to weed around them because I think disturbing the soil at all, is a trigger for attracting them to the area. I even left the pulled sunflower seedlings right where they left them. If this doesn't work, I'm going to try using the netting I have over the strawberries, that seems to be working fine for the strawberries. Maybe that way I can get them to a decent size before they can get at them. I hope.

Beautiful! I have Cerulean Warbler but it is new and doesn't look nearly as good as yours. Next year it will be better. Black Forest Depths looks very interesting - love those colors. I had Joan Senior when we lived in the country, as well as all the latest and greatest tet whites, but they did not compare to the absolute whiteness and purity of it. Unfortunately I had to leave it behind, but am thinking about squeezing it in somewhere in our new garden. I had even thought about buying the tet conversion but I understand it isn't as white.

Thanks again, everybody for all the kind words and thoughts. I'm doing okay, I really am. Of course I have my moments (and I never know when they're going to hit, either!) but over all I know she's in a much better place.
