Hi CR!

You should have your honey tomorrow! While everyone else was raising their prices, the local nutrition store lowered hers! (It is UMF 12+, the last batch was 15+ but it is still plenty strong to kill almost any infection). I don't know the gals name, but she is always working in the "Natures Marketplace" here in North Bend. Really nice gal. She used to annoy me by always pushing multi-vitamins, but last year I got a new respect for her - before my kids went to Camp Orkila, we went there and I got them each a toothpaste, a Dr. Bonner Castile soap, shampoo, and conditioner and myself a bottle of vitamin D. Went up to the counter with my load, and she started putting it all back on the shelf and switched the Dr. Bonner for the mint scent. I asked what she was doing and she said "Saving you money - you can use this castille soap for everything, and if you use the mint, you can even brush your teeth with it!" then she switched my $23 bottle of vitamins for an $8 bottle "Where you won't have to pay for an expensive advertising campaign." (The kids were not happy about the soap toothpaste and made sure to tell me when they got back.)

Anyways, I told her I was buying the honey to send it to a friend, so she wrapped it all up and put it in a box and told me I had to include a note with it and pulled out a bunch of colored pens and an index card. Then she said I needed to draw pictures on the note since it was just on a blank card. I refused that, so after much pushing, she dug through a stack of papers and came up with a list of profound thoughts and said "Well, if you aren't going to color the card, you have to ast least put this in it! I started reading it and decided I wanted to keep it myself. She looked all flustered so I promised her I would tell them all to you, just one a day. She seemed satisfied with that and then taped the box shut for me so I could take it to the post office. I swear, if there had not been a line behind me, I don't think I would have been able to get out of there without decorating your card!

so, here is #1: Don't argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with his experience.

Way to cute!!! I can't believe how thick and green your lawn is! Mine's all mud. At least it did not rain today - just remained so damp and foggy that nothing dried out.

We have a labXspringer mix girl that I swear has some sort of a ground vibration detector. She flips onto her back before you ever get around the corner where she is. I think she spends most of time on her back begging for a tummy rub!

Well, the first photo looks identical to my sexlinks and I am not sure what they are, so if you or someone else knows, it will be interesting to see.

I need to take a photo of my climbing hydrangea, and my sisters; mine was slow to get going, and suddenly last year it was everywhere on the north wall of my house. When I pulled it off the house and trellised it I ended up with a four- part trellis, including one eight-foot chunk of livestock panel, one three-foot by four and a half foot chunk ditto, and two bits of decorative trellising I got cheap at Tuesday Morning, each with a rondel of glass in a frame at the top, one set on the porch rail and the other on the top of the dog fence (Deirdre: between my bedroom window and the big mock-orange). I finally got to the Iron Rooster yesterday and bought a second wrought iron bracket to support the final corner of the big piece of livestock panel; I had a single nice hook from the blacksmithery at Puyallup Fair and the bottom of the trellis has eight inches of galvanized steel every six inches pushed into the ground, but I prefer having all four corners stabilized.

For those has not seen one, this is a Climbing Hydrangea in bud: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a41/Julia_here/DSC_0402-2.jpg. They get huge when they're happy; I remember a wall on the Richmond to London rail route which was thirty feet tall and a kilometer long, covered with climbing hydrangea in bloom; there also used to be a huge one out by Bruceport, but then there also used to be a Dr. van Fleet rose on the south side of 101 just past Cosmopolis that climbed 60 feet up into a cedar tree; it was cut down and replaced by a Grays Harbor PUD substation.

My sister gave me a piece of climbing hydrangea (the true one, not the Schizophragma hydrangeoides), several years ago. I'm still waiting for it to take off. Maybe this year.

I was just thinking it was a little on the thinner side. It actually got to 75 today. I worked outside until 7:30, I left the windows open until a good 9:00 pm. It was absolutely wonderful. I hope it decides to stay like this. I hate cold.
