Shady ~ So nice to hear from you! It actually s pretty early, although like everyone else around here, I'm so ready for the truly warmer spring weather. We get a day here and there, but the March-like temps and winds are a bit slow in leaving.
Lucy will be hunting neither eggs nor truffles on Sunday. She'll be maintaining "radio silence" for two hours, while her mum does a weekly broadcast of the garden show... after which, we plan an excursion to Corliss ("bus man's holiday"?). They're closed Sunday, so I'm planning to wander among the nursery stock and snap photos to my heart's content. There's never enough time to capture decent shots during the "Lucy breaks."

Photos, Kudos and No-no's...
Several photographers have been contributing to this blog, on a regular basis. I thank Steve Calef and Sam Haddock for their valuable, ongoing contributions. Without their artistic efforts, these would have been very bland blogs, indeed. As I become more proficient with my new camera, the photos will, increasingly, bear my copyright... and, I hope, add to your enjoyment of my six blogs.

Hope yours is a wonderful day!
