Comments (3)Yes sure Ellendi, when on a tour, the tour guides keep you on the left side of the Rialto bridge all of the time. Go off on your own and go over to the other side of the bridge which was where the Jews were banished as they got more successful. It's fascinating. The food was fabulous, jewelry and all gifts were better priced and the people in general were more than gracious. We bought all our take home items there. There is a very beautiful temple with a great historical story. My niece told me about so I tried it and tell everyone. Venice is full of upper crust people on the left side looking at the Rialto bridge but the other side, wow. We loved it....See Moreyayagal, question for you
Comments (10)Rose, I didn't link to the website so maybe that has something to do with being unable to access the site that way....maybe try it thru google. I spent a few hrs on the site last nite and it appears most rugs are shipped from Toronto and some come direct from the US ...right to your door. I found a few I am interested in and am going to compare the prices from the US site to see how much they are charging for exchange and delivery if purchasing thru the Cdn site. I am 45 min from a border town and use a parcel drop service there for our US shipments ...rarely have we even been charged for our purchases when crossing back into Canada which helps with the exch rate being what it is....See MoreThank you Gardenweb enablers!

Comments (13)Thank you, all. Gardening is stress relief for me. The roses are a reminder to stop and enjoy. :-) The Molineux lasts the longest in water, the others lose petals after 1 day.

Comments (5)I'm with you Jackie. I consider the social distancing an opportunity to get some serious garden work done. This does not of course minimize in any way the seriousness of needing to keep the virus spread contained or limit contact with medically fragile individuals. I also have plenty of sympathy for people whose incomes depend on putting in hours that they are not allowed to spend at the moment, or people who have to wrestle with competing concerns for kids staying home from school and work if available. It's just that for gardeners the notion of "having" to stay home and play in the dirt is not exactly a bad thing, coming as it does at springtime no less. With my work moving almost entirely online I can choose to spend nice days outside and rainy/snowy days or nights inside doing work. Gardening gives us something positive to focus on in this time of stress. It also gives extra incentive to vegetable and fruit gardens so that we won't have to shop for as much produce in about 48 days (as soon as the early lettuce and radishes start bearing). Any good news is nice to have at times like this and my garden is always a source of peace for me anyway. Cynthia...See MoreIdaClaire
