She's trying to get me to the doctor forr this painful "gout" attack I'm having right now...the mini-hurricane is now here, so won't stay for long...see if relief comes after it gets through the area. Gout is usually and drinker's condition..but I don't drink...and the first and last time I had it was when were were electomagnetically microwave pulsed in the area for the second Bush election. In part why everyone hates the PTB...we have little recourse action but suffering. May they rightfully get back... what they put out someday. I think it's time to rest today..my hubby already sent me roses in my email....and move on as they say. |

The closest we get to it would be 'Harvest Festival' whereby our Churches are full (well not literally of course) with all types of tinned products, fruit, flowers and vegetables. |

I don't remember tinned food but fresh veg and flowers. The musty old churches took on a wonderful smell, one that evokes memories if I get to be home during Harvest Festival. I will look for some more pictures, I know they are here. I also took a few the other year, but didn't submit them to POE. |

This was the year that I set aside not to have an garden in ways...and I didn't in ways. Long story...in ways. I did get two handfuls of miniture "pear" tomatoes though. Good to see you here Sue....most always....sound like an record don't I..laughs* |
