To know that comes across in my posts, well that warms my heart. Thank you my friend. xoKim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-32624783671616377042015-06-21T21:37:02.943-04:002015-06-21T21:37:02.943-04:00I know, it wasn't the plan, but once we starte...I know, it wasn't the plan, but once we started, we just couldn't stop :) You know, even though we worked hard to get it done, there was still time to relax and enjoy the garden even while we were working at it. We just get so much enjoyment from the garden, even the hard work, it really is a special connection. <br /><br />Yes, that wasn't fun. It didn't actually touch down, we were just under a warning for a few hours. When the storm picked up, we had warning messages on the radio almost every minute, which has never happened before, so that was kind of freaky. It all passed, and with the exception of some heavy rain, and winds, and a little bit of hail, all was okay. <br /><br />Thanks Em. I got your letter on Friday, haven't read it yet. Planning to do that with a cup of tea tomorrow.
