Ginger, LOL...old and fluffy is cute too! We'll have to talk daylilies this fall..seriously..some of mine are actually getting big enough that I might be able to share :).

Kathy, I really laughed at the frog in the honey visual! How sweet your brother was to bring them home for you! I washed a toad once when I accidentally hit him with rose spray..he wasn't too keen on the whole washing thing! It does amaze me that the little critters can survive in the climates that they do!

Kathy and Bea, it is nice to dream, and it is crummy to have to admit that you can't do it all yourself. I've got my own nice young man (or maybe not so young, but at least still willing to work for some $$ and a good dinner) coming out to help me try to tame my unruly terrace (overrunn by blackberries and alders) this spring. Have done it myself four times, but it is just too much for me to feel like I can take on alone this year. Fortunately DH has a friend who is between jobs and is as hard up for $$ as I am for help.

The good thing about garden dreaming is that it can turn into reality one tiny slice at a time!

By the way, what's the problem with dogs and ponds??? BG
