It was hard to say goodbye...there is still so much more I want to do and say and share with all these wonderful people who came to visit.

I love working with stone. It was a lot brighter on my side of the bay today ( + 10 ) no wind to speak of. I enjoyed 3 solid hours after finishing the farmwork ( 4- 7 ) raking lawns and starting to undo the damage caused by the men in the family plowing the driveway and yard with the tractor and leaving moraines Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421937095759381096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-1143174200335130772008-04-04T17:13:00.000-03:002008-04-04T17:13:00.000-03:00I feel for you Jodi, but I just *had* to bust out ...I feel for you Jodi, but I just *had* to bust out laughing when I read about the "peepsicles".
