(it was a strange one this year, i guess.) but the song brings it back into me purely and i wish it was two weeks away again. i guess i'll just have to settle for winter.<br /><br />the plants, marion - i think there is no better way to spend a life. i just returned from my mother-in-law's in virginia and she lives like this, living off most of her gardening. i have pilfered a bag of Jerusalem artichokes from her and am eating them raw. i wonder if they'll make it across the border...erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636371927224076866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-85338597139469642582016-12-04T10:58:46.009-06:002016-12-04T10:58:46.009-06:00If anyone needed a greenhouse, it's YOU, Mario...If anyone needed a greenhouse, it's YOU, Marion!! I'm glad you got one and that it's filled with thriving life! We actually have several tomato plants that are nearly as tall as I am and my husband made a make-shift shelter to cover them at night. We're due 20s later in the week, so I hope it doesn't kill them! I want winter tomatoes, too!! My daughter was disappointed the opening weekend festivities for the Christmas festival in Natchitoches got rained out this year. I know we needed the rain, but sad.<br /><br />Marion, I keep you on my daily prayer list. I still think my problems are something inflammatory/autoimmune, but preliminary tests showed otherwise. As much as I hate it, I'd rather it be that than something worse! (thinking of my dear sister)<br /><br />All the best during this holiday season for you, Ray, and all your family!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.com
