I'm figuring out he really meant it when he said I could do what I want. He's suggested having Finkes or someone "professional" come do a plan. I told him I have lots of ideas, and it will evolve over time. We'll see if we need help.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-62817187841216163922011-04-22T21:22:00.807-05:002011-04-22T21:22:00.807-05:00Sue--Ha, you should know by now spousal consent is...Sue--Ha, you should know by now spousal consent is key to a happy life. <br />Craig--All the reasons?

Here I am surrounded by wildflowers in spring and know not a single name. But I still have the joy of looking at their beauty.--INgerIngerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-30398466373914962792011-04-20T10:03:12.631-05:002011-04-20T10:03:12.631-05:00I so love this post.

Now that I have seen dragonflies emerging from their exuviae, I revel in the name and imagine the lovely creatures at one and the same time.Robley Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192998362490594858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-60228374564353983172011-04-20T09:32:41.614-05:002011-04-20T09:32:41.614-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Robley Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192998362490594858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-17800056094734722972011-04-20T09:19:02.364-05:002011-04-20T09:19:02.364-05:00Great post!

They roll like marbles off the tongue and fall, still spinning, into unsuspecting ears.<br /> I wanted to comment on a previous post but the comments are closed. To the idiot who thinks invasive species are okay, I wish him a creek full of snakeheads and a yard full of purple loosestrife and kudzu. WHY do stupid people get published???
