Hi Ruth,

I found them though we're still too warm for them here.  My favorite is a
little cloche hat my daughter knitted for me.  That's something I never
bothered to learn.. I can sew and crochet, but never bothered to learn
knitting.  She really makes some incredible things.

Yes, I know what you mean ... when we came back to NY from Louisville, it was
similar (though not as extreme as your weather change I'm sure).

No reason to check so I have no idea, but I expect you're right :)

We're just the opposite.. (g)

It's always nice to see deer though.. well, except on the road I guess.  Ron
has got a great eye for them though since he grew up in Sullivan county, so
he's never had a problem, thankfully.

I can understand that one.  I hope your weather and NY's weather treat you well
for your journey.

and they are still alive... shocking to me.  I'm not sure if it has to do with
the earthboxes or the varieties I planted... (grin).

Yes, it is handy having my little box of herbs... I always miss having fresh
spices in the dead of winter, but the freezer helps there.

Yes, I did that.. it should help whoever buys the house.  I did it because the
previous owner of that house didn't leave a note at all and I mostly discovered
things here and there over the seasons when we lived there.  Over here in
Slaterville Springs, the owner took us on a nature walk essentially :)  He was
a horticulturist at Cornell, so he planted some amazingly beautiful flowering
plants.  They bloom in sequence all spring and summer.

Sounds like your kitchen garden will be really nice :)

Take care,
Janis
