That's a lovely photo, Susan. Happy Birthday! I agree with Casey, you are a very youthful 72!

The sight that greeted me this rainy morning. It was even worse than it looks in the picture--every bag ripped open, the contents pawed through. I share the trash pickup with my son and daughter-in-law, and diapers were rained on overnight. A zillion bits and pieces of everything else in the grass. I guess the bears aren't hibernating yet. :-(

gyr-falcon - Yes it is growing inside in the ceramic pot and growing medium that came in the box. My 'Apple Blossom" flower died in the bud stage so no flower this year. I have lots outside that I planted after they bloomed but they haven't had flowers for awhile.

No fog here this morning. Lots of sunshine and it's currently 62º. We are so fortunate to have this string of warmer weather. The cold will come soon enough. I have a couple of pictures of the "red" that is around me right now. The first is my little japanese maple tree and the second is what is coming up after planting a couple of "helicopters" from what I thought was the japanese maple. Now I'm not to sure what I have. :)
