Stormyla, thank you. It's nice to know I'm helping.

I'm so mad at myself. I had a mouthful of tea and DH said something funny. For the first time, I actually sprayed some of it out laughing. Drops on my keyboard, and it hasn't been 100% since. I just got everything new in February and have been so careful. We sprayed computer screen cleaner in it and then air to dry it. It doesn't stick anymore, but it still messes up sometimes.

Chris, laughing, DH picks it up and if it droops over it's ready!! It only grows hair if we bull ''manure'' you :o)

We have persian speedwell in the grass the way people have creeping charlie. It is so time consuming to pull in the flower beds. I finally figured out that is why I'm not accomplishing anything when I weed. It will dry out in a day or two and I'll try hoeing again. Unfortunately it gets around plants and I'm back to hand picking.

Yesterday stayed windy and chilly. I try not to complain and think about a steamy hot July when I wish there was a breeze. Doesn't work. We drove the jeep around town and I made rhubarb shortcake. We've been cutting back on sugar for a couple years and both agreed it was a bit sweet! I grew up on this recipe.

Chris, take a spoonful and pass it around!
