Okay,,, I've forgotten how to snag a quote and embed it in my post. (OUCH)
Firsties first: Matrix, good to see you too, m.f! Vacuum problems seem to abound around the vernal equinox. You are the 2nd person to mention this to me.
Thanks for the quick update on the kids. Busy mom, busy kids. Good goin', C.
ehBeth: Glad to be the subject of your 'sighting.' I wuz wearin' my Canadian made Waldies (rubber clogs) in your honor.
This 42 acres that the Rainforesters are 'tending,' is pretty impressive! I like the fact that we are up 20% since January.
Miss all of you...good to see the newbies and the seasoned clickers, one and all.
It's a toasty-roast here in the CA desert: 91F right now. Wildflowers are still doin' their thang from our very ample rains. Mt. San Jacinto peers down on us, from 10,000+feet, though the visible snow is fading fast. Arroyos are rushing with the runoff, and the weekends bring many families to play in the chilly water.
Blessings are everywhere.
My love to you all.
