    Blueberries, wow! I've been meaning to ask for a long time, was photography a lifelong hobby for you or did you start late? (I'm thinking of starting "late" LOL)

    Erin, yeah, I was a late starter too. :)
    Never took any classes just started paying attention to the light and balance of my photos.

    We have to wait about 2 more months for Jersey blueberries. But it's worth the wait.

    Chickory, good to see you out and about my friend. ((hugs))

    So it is confirmed, Shamy's a girl?? Watch her though, she'll be in those berries and won't leave any for anyone else.

    So glad to see Old Faithful and Son of Old Faithful both made it through the winter.

    Oh, those bluberries are a perfect blue and I love seeing that Chickie get bigger (and holding my breath about (s)he I still can't get over your weather and how things are growing. I guess that's how I'm able to buy lettuce in the grocery store, right?

    oh no, Dani, I meant one fauna with all that flora. I wouldn't speak foully of the little fowl. But interesting how you thought I might have been saying the fowl little creature might not be so pretty. hmmm? please gentle folks, I only jest with my sister and mean your little shammy no harmy)MFD

    Well that's just dang funny considering how Dani and I were just comparing Lil' Shamy to a Muppet.

    Anyone care to guess which Muppet?

    Ria, hehehe. Love you Girl. xoxo

    Shamy, I bet Froggy will know the answer.

  22. DaniApril 19, 2011 at 8:29 PM

    Linda, I do too. :)

    Sandra, thanks for stopping in and saying "hello".

    Boxer, things do grow fast here this time of year. Come the end of May though and things will really start to slow down from the heat.

    Thanks so much Lorie! :)

    Susan, you always have such pretties in your yard too. Especially those orchids of yours.

    Everything is beautiful, Shamy too, kind of maybe, I can't decide
    I really want to know who had the New Zealand Tea Trees and how did theynsurvive last summer's heat. I would love to try them here but my humidity level in this small ecosystem (holler)is brutal. Help please. Love you
    dani girl. Hope to see you soon.

    Everything is so lovely.

    Shamy looks like she has her namesake's sense of humor. I fully expect her to squawk out some snark about the other inhabitants of the garden. Y'all watch. She'll start her own blog soon. Silky Snark.

    Hi Dani,

    Shamy is getting so big. And so very cute. I love pics of the girlz. They make me laugh a lot!

    When your sis said that one thing was not like the others my brain went to those tests we used to have in school!

    "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things"

    Thanks Dani for helping us think on these things!
