Katie ~ I occasionally have leg cramps as well. I take quinine sulfate and it goes away in just a few minutes. You probably can get them at your pharmacia. There also is a homeopathic version of it, though since I have the stronger ones I have not yet tried the others. Also quinine water might be available at a market or liquor store. I don't think it takes very much.

Even though you do have your challenges there, it must be a comfort to have those dogs with you for protection as a woman living alone at any age can be a target no matter what. It is wonderful that you try to grow food crops for the locals. Do you grow amaranth and quinoa? Those are supposed to be very high in nutrition.

When you have the time, maybe you can share some recent pictures. I hope that you continue to heal as sometimes healing takes longer than we would like. I have been recovering from several operations, especially the rotator cuff replacement, of which they used an achilles tendon. So my shoulder has been in quite a bit of pain for a long time. It is a challenge to dig and not strain it more, so I do it in stages. It takes a lot longer, but I appreciate it when it is done!

I f you need some seeds, d-mail me your address and I will send you some. I always have extras. Much more than I can possibly sow.

That goes for you too, Lee.

Jeanette ~ I was outside, sorry! I have so much to do. It finally stopped snowing and raining...still the ground is wet, but I can dig in certain areas and fill them with amendments and mix them up well. It is supposed to rain again tomorrow and then on Saturday, too! At least they say it is a warmer system. Are you getting rain or snow this time?

JB ~ Your 'Aimees' are very pretty. At what age do you sell them?

Here is a portion of what I have started. (Steve put the rocks there...) There is yet a lot to be done and I hope not to fill it too tight with plants, but I do want it "full of flowers"!
