Hello!!!!! Well we have been without internet for ages - but we are back online now- in our new house! So much has happened since we moved in, parts of walls have come down and showers have gone up. I have planted winter veggies, saved plants from the clutches of the evil weed twitch grass and cleared the greenhouse from a vigorous grapevine. I saved the vine by untangling it and proping it up, so some day it can wind and twine around a pergola. I am dreaming of the day that I can hang up my hamock and laze away the day with a good book while picking grapes off the vine. (The grapes are very delicous and abundant at the moment) I have pics to share, but I just thought I would write to let you all know that contrary to the rumors, I did not buzz off the Antartica- although it seems to call my name every once in a while- the house is way too cool to leave behind for a cold, dark holiday on the south pole. More soon...
