Here I am gambling on no further cold weather - a very stupid state of mind but I can't stop myself. <BR/>I liked the story of the secret Maple nibbling - hard though it is to imagine a St Bernard doing anything in undercover, even a puppy (lol)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-37695098855095733232009-03-20T15:29:00.000-04:002009-03-20T15:29:00.000-04:00Frances - Thanks for your kind words.

I love the fencing and especially the round portal in the trellis. The whole thing is charming. I did laugh at the official Canadian sin on not being outside on a day that warm in March. We consider that a good working outside temp as well. :-)<BR/>FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-25718645700606570922009-03-20T08:01:00.000-04:002009-03-20T08:01:00.000-04:00Barbee - you just made my day seeing that you were...Barbee - you just made my day seeing that you were back in action - I can't believe that project you have been tackling - puts me and my little rake to shame.<BR/>Gail - it does indeed make me feel better to be outside - cold again today.

But surely now that winter has fled , well at least until the next late frost, we ought to be past the flu and cold season.<BR/>having an office at home makes for less illness.<BR/><BR/>You did exactly what you needed to do...get a bit of garden medicine. Doesn't it works wonders for the spirit.

Hope yours isn't <I>too,too</I> bad (some are worse than others). I think your design solution is a good one, and the leaves you removed are just that much less you will have to move next time. I'd say good use of a pretty day. Get well soon!Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.com
