I am so proud of myself...it looks as if I've planted some (at least) the right way up (heh heh). Also a couple of pots of hyacinths too...There are even blossoms now appearing on trees as I drive around the neighbourhood...isn't the cycle of nature so awe inspiring?! (told you I was excited).<BR/>Good luck with the house rental, it's always a relief to find nice tennants.Kalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337822618543497388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10597769.post-1153095259550883652006-07-17T10:14:00.000+10:002006-07-17T10:14:00.000+10:00Hello again from Ohio.

I have just noticed the first signs of late summer here -- Queen Anne's lace (white) and Chicory (powdery blue) growing by the roadsides and in vacant fields. It's almost an imperceptible somber note, heralding the journey back to fall and winter -- I never used to notice it. Now it will be fun to read the signs of spring popping up in your hemisphere. <BR/><BR/>I too love sleeping to the sound of rain, even of thunder (as long as there aren't high winds) -- sometimes I put on a recording I have of a thunderstorm, when I need help falling asleep. That, or a recording of the ocean, are great cures for insomnia!Judy Birmingham (Seeing Anew Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13367702378442449544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10597769.post-1153091235783010612006-07-17T09:07:00.000+10:002006-07-17T09:07:00.000+10:00Hi Alice.

I hope all goes well with renting out the house... and that you are getting quite a considerable amount of rain... just remember to capture it in buckets and send it my way.
