I like little surprises like that.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-24019661449294840042011-06-12T09:16:36.359-05:002011-06-12T09:16:36.359-05:00Beautiful!

If not, I will go and see those of somebody else. It's too hot to play outside and I'm not energetic enough anymore either.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-55894342884772065822011-06-10T11:04:43.224-05:002011-06-10T11:04:43.224-05:00See I knew that wasn't the best job for garden...See I knew that wasn't the best job for gardeners. I feel the same way sometimes, not the hate part, just the burnt out part. <br /><br />Thankfully my garden is almost no maintenance right now, cool weather.

Not that that puts me off growing them:) http://museum.gov.ns.ca/poison/?section=species&id=99Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-2332174037398040782011-06-09T21:45:34.569-05:002011-06-09T21:45:34.569-05:00Hi Far Side!
