My most sincere thanks to those of you who have responded with cyber hugs and real tears for the loss of my little Lioness, Sweetie. I appreciate your compassion. There is a time to grieve and then there is the rest of life. On a garden note........I found some small Hellebore buds on one of the clumps of plants. woo hoo!! My pink butterfly bush beside my nook door is loaded with silvery leaves and it's going to take the constitution of iron to whack it back this spring before it wakes up. And in about two weeks I will be back in outside Lawn and Garden with my babies instead of on the front cash registers at werk >g<
Again, thanks for your kindness towards me in my grief. (Squire is freezing his butt off in Wisconsin on a cargo run....but he'll be back in this area soon, so at least he has a JOB!!)
