Cold and damp in July add insult to injury somehow. They're so achy-making, too, at least for me. Living in the desert has its perks, even if lush greenery isn't among them... Hope you all get some pleasant weather soon!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297253093260251145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-76983627524720981702012-07-05T03:55:23.166+01:002012-07-05T03:55:23.166+01:00Thanks for the encouragement, Helene.

I know the gardening madness of which you speak. I too, have been out gardening in the rain, winter weather, terrible heat and even at night with a headlight. The neighbors are used to me.
