I don't know what kind of garden you have, but you might want to look at offerings by the Theodore Payne Foundation related to CA native plants. I took the native plant horticulture class a while back and enjoyed it. I became interested in native plants while trying to figure out what to do with my small, unirrigated afterthought of a yard. Actually, that might overstate the land available, LOL!

Received and opened today a cute card for eggs-ceptional luck that says Happy St. Patrick's Day inside My eggs-ceptional ladies a pink egg a blue egg a green egg First lady Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), wife of Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), the U.S. president from 1933 to 1945, was a leader in her own right and involved in numerous humanitarian causes throughout her life. The niece of President Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), Eleanor was born into a wealthy New York family. She married Franklin Roosevelt, her fifth cousin once removed, in 1905. By the 1920s, Roosevelt, who raised five children, was involved in Democratic Party politics and numerous social reform organizations. In the White House, she was one of the most active first ladies in history and worked for political, racial and social justice. After President Roosevelt’s death, Eleanor was a delegate to the United Nations and continued to serve as an advocate for a wide range of human rights issues. She remained active in Democratic causes and was a prolific writer until her death at age 78. Unwin’s Striped Sweet pea seeds inside Born on Feb. 15, 1820, in Adams, Mass., Susan B. Anthony was a pioneer crusader for the woman suffrage movement in the United States and president (1892-1900) of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Her work helped pave the way for the Nineteenth Amendment (1920) to the Constitution, giving women the right to vote. Scarlet Runner Bean seeds inside Pocahontas contributed significantly to the early survival of the Jamestown colony and played a brief but dramatic role in English imperial propaganda. Her untimely death in 1617 cut short her successful mediation between the Powhatan Indians and the colony. Both before her intercession and long after her death, Jamestown--the first permanent English outpost in North America--was precarious, largely because of Indian hostility to the colony and its expansion.

FLAG! Reading you email this morning re all the work you're doing on your studio, I'm thinking you could do that very thing. One of the guys that I met last year drove from Arkansas. He had a very interesting trip, and had his own car for his vacation. Many people I met at our little hotel return every year. Some of the workshop people return every year to the Hacienda. I've talked my daughter and her friend to go w/me this year, and I know once they see the place and experience the wonderful art and inspiration there, it'll be a yearly trip for them too. Hey, DAISEY: We can go shopping one afternoon and then have 'ritas and snacks afterwards.

I would clarify with her if the $1750 only goes toward custom cabs, or maybe a semi custom line that she deals with. Many on here though will say that custom can be as reasonable as cabinet lines. It sounds like you would be paying her $1750 for her help throughout the process and coming up with a final design. I think it will be $ well spent because there are so many thing that go into It that you wont even know existed. Just be sure you fully understand how her fees work.
