Hello Sara! What a surprise ... but a welcome sight to see
you back on Packet.... :)

So glad to hear your old BBS is still running. Let him
know that I too thank him for hanging in there...as well
collecting the YL archives <g>...

Yeah! That was a good exchange...and it even got a new
folder in the Cookbook ...we have a TEA folder now <g>...
Somewhere...someone tried to get a Coffee Cup one going
too...but it didn't generate too much...but like tea
there are ways of making coffee too.

>Hi Peter and all.
Aaaah ... <g> ..a little dig at me this year too <g> ..now
you have me wondering what sort of joke picture my playful
pal Richard is going to send me from Toronto <giggle>...

As usual Sara..and readers..my Rhubarb is up and growing, and
<giggle> guess what Sara ... I was given a recipe for wine,
so Rhubarb Wine is on my project list.
I still have to clear our fire site there, and weed, and
prune the rasberry bush. I think also we have some leftovers
growing...but then in the passed few days...the "experts"
have called for frost..so we haven't planted.
I can get this garden of ours now up in less then a day.
We are going for Tomatoes this year again. Maria planted
and we enjoyed lettuce last year .. so we'll see after
we get our plants ...but then the rain and chilly nights
have to stop.
>This morning I planted the Scarlet runner beans. The grass
>took over my strawberry patch - I did save a few but they
>don't look very healthy - guess we'll have to buy our
>strawberries this year. They are going to be late because
>of the cold spring.
I have a wire fence...I would like peas...but then the rassberrys
have taken over the fence...and we have critter problems, not
to mention kittys use the garden as a toilet, and then
there is my pal Rusty who chases the kittys..and he does
leave a path of his activites in the garden....Oh well :(
With this frsot warning all the time... and the "experts" wrong
as far as I am concerned...I am going to have to plant.

OK ... I will have to ask Maria this morning over breakie
when she wants to tackle the garden, as I am just over replacing
a fence post I thought I would have problems with over the
last time when the neighbour was on about something....anyhow
will again ...this year take those pictures < g>... for all
to see.
"Thank you" Sara... for the double posting...and the great
news. I'm off to make my tea the way we always make it
and kick off the day ...even if raining.
