well--we had a great time last night--rosie's program was terrific and insipring. i am looking at a row in the pasture and thinking. bobbi's place was lovely as always--we saw turtle eggs, lots of birds, and watched little mr. regan tearing around all over the place. kathy had a nice time in FL and michael's trees are leafing out finally after suffering so badly in the cold weather. went inside for bobbi's EPIC shortbread, which is the scottish version of PIE. and yummy bean dip and freeze dried okra for the more adventurous among us. thanks again to rosie for the great program--if you are interested in the idea of square foot gardening, she recommends Mel Bartholomew's book on the subject--titled appropriately "square foot gardening".
