It's lovely and heartfelt and I totally agree with you about the wonders of blogging. I consider this medium to be like one great big kitchen table where people drop in for a bit, have a coffee or juice, chat back and forth, then go on about their days. Heartfelt wishes for Katie's quick recovery, too. #fightkatie!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-60455604303511959422010-03-02T15:00:42.556-05:002010-03-02T15:00:42.556-05:00Hi Colleen.

I am lucky to remember the common names. I think it would be fun to take classes though.<br /><br />Grace girl we can wink and laugh with the best of them. LOL!We would hit it off I just know. <br />Whoops! That stuff will strip the paint right off of your car. LOL!<br /><br />Hi Kathleen; I guess I should have stuck the name of the Amaryllis somewhere on the posting. You are right it is Charisma, My last amaryllis. ;( Everyone else will probably be glad though LOL!<br /><br />Jim; We Buckeyes have to stick together Jim. ;-)<br /><br />Hi Robin. You are definitely one of my buds. LOL!Who can tease you more than me anyway. The BIG city just has more of a variety than our small Kroger's. I may have to check out the Meijer in Lancaster when ever I am in town. Girl I am counting down the days until Friday.

These two things alone make you a really awesome person. <br /><br />Funny, just this morning as hubby was leaving for work I noticed a rather large smattering of bird poo on the side of his car.

Enjoy that Home and Garden show on Friday, it's a good one, as usual! I'm so glad you are taking in the FPC before hand. You won't regret it. I guess I'm lucky, my Kroger and Meijer grocery stores both carry lots of lovely growing things. I just had to try stocks again, they are called 10 week stocks, so maybe they'll bloom quicker!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-87521528229303457492010-03-01T20:47:07.669-05:002010-03-01T20:47:07.669-05:00So true Lona.

It still boggles my mind that I can see gardens and friends from Malaysia, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, etc. What fun.<br /><br />Keewee: There is such a well of knowledge through this garden blogging. So many talented and giving people.<br /><br />Rebecca: Since Blotanical is still being redone it is a mess to keep up with the garden bloggers on it so I have been slowly adding many to my Google reader. Much easier for the present anyway until Blotanical is fixed.<br /><br />Patsy: I know girl. When you do not hear from or see a posting after a while you really start wondering about them.<br /><br />Amy; Blotanical was such an important creation. When I started blogging I could not find very many gardeners at all just by a search engine.It has been so fun to read your posts and get to discover the person you are.<br /><br />Darla: Double Amen Girl!
