Glad to see much of it survived the frost. I'm missing out on my green peppers, basil, gem squash, tomatoes, egg-plant and spinach back home. Emily (my houselady) is making tomato, green pepper, basil and onion (cooked up, we call it casserole) and freezing it. The spinach, gems and other pumpkins she is eating. There's a wonderful market here in the valley so no lack of fresh organic produce. Yes, when I lost my weight in 1999, I changed from blonde to red for the next eight years! Everyone that doesn't have a weight problem tells me in the "middle years" they picked up. Exercise is best! Bless you my friend.

My grandfather came to Australia from Ireland but I never met him. One day I would like to visit.<br />Happy gardening,<br />KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140249815996700049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977509261429741652.post-52622413328487703042011-02-06T02:06:09.635+00:002011-02-06T02:06:09.635+00:00Yay hooray!
