Goodness! I hope that Debbie is doing better today. Never, ever fun to be sick that badly!

Some geocaches are big enough to share "schwag", some only big enough to sign the log. Regardless, you also log it online. We also did some that are Virtual, so you go there an email answers to some questions to the cache owner. We especially enjoy those because you go to neat places and get to learn stuff by reading plaques or going through little museums and such. It's always nice to meet people who are passionate about whatever they are preserving. This was the view overlooking an old copper mine that is in Tennessee, just over the state line from North Carolina. The lady that was the docent at this place actually grew up right there. The copper is what makes the water that blue color. Same stuff they put in Miracle Gro to make it blue.

I'm still putting stuff out in my beds. I'm a novice gardener, so this is the first year that I've got a lot of stuff to put in. Usually it's been a half-dozen new perennials, a few tomatoes, and call it good. This year I'm a bit more ambitious. I bought/swapped a lot of seeds and had fairly good success getting them to sprout. I've even got extras to share at the Carolinas Roundup next weekend!
