Greetings,

We're here in Bradenton. Can't quite believe it, but we are in Florida.

We left RI on 8/15 (flying with a cat, luckily, we had kitty valium for the flight, I think I needed the kitty valium, more than the cat). Didn't get the furniture and belongings till 9/1, the 'puter was with the movers, along with 78 boxes of "stuff". We did pretty good unpacking the boxes, Labor Day we were box free. Today, we finnaly hooked up the computer.

For the first couple of weeks, I had nothing to do, but the back yard. I think I did quite good, well maybe, maybe not. I really like the way it looks right now, we'll see what happens in the long run. There is a Container Gardening class in Sarasota on the 27th, which I will be attending. My/our back yard is small and private, right now all I'm gonna do is container stuff.

Have to catch up on all the things we've missed in the last few weeks on the Garden Web.

Very happy,

P and Don (the turtle not so dummy)
