    Ohhh, you're giving me spring fever! We still have snow on the ground here in Ohio. A couple more weeks and I'll be in the garden!

    Oh man, I wish I could see you there! I want to get to my sis' too in Alabama, never been there, but she tells me of all the things I could do with an essentially 4 season growing season. I's a jealous girl :) living up here in the midwest.

    BTW, I've got a slow connection, but I'm a flower fanatic, so I just had to wait for the flicker shows. Please visit your new group, Flowers, Flowers, and more Flowers...and help me try to implement an amazon slide show to our lens.
