Hi Melissa, thanks so much for the bd wishes. Belated is good too. I love the poppies. Possible here, but not easy. What kind are those? California poppies are grown as massed roadside projects in early Spring. Some old timey medicine ladies grow Orientals up in the mountains. I guess for medicinal purposes. :>)

Look what my GF got for my bd... Isn't he cute? His name is Snowball and he squeals like all get out if you try to pick him up. I told her she should have named him Mojo (as in mojo pork). She was not amused. Then I admired his trotters and hocks. She was still not amused. Geez, how do you compliment a porker...I mean pig? Glad he's not mine. Definitely labor intensive and attention demanding. We have several friends, including two in the city who have gotten pigs. They are a lot of work.
