I have lost 25 pounds, but I really start craving FAT!!! Isn't that gross??? I would like to smear mayo all over a ripe tomato, sprinkle with salt and pepper, put it on fresh white bread...heaven! Your garden sounds like it is doing well. The weather here has been perfect of late. It is still a bit cool, most of my shady plants are still blooming. I have some wonderful new columbines this year that look like vulgaris (but they aren't); one is dark purple and the other is crimson. I have a resident baby bunny that is NOT eating my plants. I watched him eat japanese witch grass last night! I think I will go buy him a present of corn, good weed eating bunny. I have been spraying my plants with NIMBY spray and so far, so good. That spray makes me gasp when I inhale while spraying so I can't imagine what it would be like to bite into a plant that has been sprayed. I'll be glad when school is out too. Of course I have had my biggest recruiting year. Band has almost 100 kids and orchestra has over 40. Of course, I am going elsewhere next year, but it is nice to go out on a high note. Concerts are next week, my kids are going to be playing a lot of swing charts. Myra Amler Charlotte,NC "Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?" Unknown
