I even have a new challenge that I am considering.<br /><br />Garden soil makes all the difference! I've tried to alter the soil here, but with limited success.

It's such a plea...I love all this I really do. It's such a pleasure to look at it all and how everyone seems to have loved participating.<br />Reading the rest of the post - this: <br />'part of the reason is that the soil in our previous home would grow anything. Here, too much clay, too many trees in a tiny yard, and then, of course, I'm lazier' - this could be me. I do love gardening and plants but I've just got less and less interested somehow. Like you I still dream of having the garden I once had but I just don't think I've got the 'humph' to continue. Our soil is also very clay based and the number of plants I have lost and replaced on a continuous basis over the years is ridiculous! I do used to love having a colourful border but not it's easy plants - hebes, grasses, heathers, shrubs, etc. Well, the other thing, having two terriers (now only one unfortunately) destroyed a lot of my more fragile plants because they like to forage so this sort of garden is not only low maintenance but good for my dog to explore.<br />Lynn :DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-61265668273029854092016-03-30T15:21:07.403-05:002016-03-30T15:21:07.403-05:00What a wonderful clutch of mail.

I stuck my nose in an angel trumpet and sniffed! It's an old bulb that so reminds me of my grandmother, I can't seem to help myself. I'm still paying for sniffing that memory. Richard says it's my cocaine. <br /><br />Your mail art is awesome! I love your mail call, whether you're getting or sending mail! Of course every one is very creative, but my favorite is B.E. with the wolf mask holding the peat pot nose. She looks very natural and, considering all the art stuff you two are generally up to, she probably was just having fun with you. She is such a lucky girl!Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-37272866935612341372016-03-30T09:37:13.005-05:002016-03-30T09:37:13.005-05:00Thanks, Penny! :) Yes, sneezing and watery eyes a...Thanks, Penny! :) Yes, sneezing and watery eyes are drawbacks to the blooming spring!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-43976303603221072072016-03-30T08:09:21.226-05:002016-03-30T08:09:21.226-05:00Beautiful, creative art mail!!

The mild winter spoiled me into thinking Spring would bring the same warmer than norm temps. I'm stitching and happy that I am but definitely have a lack of energy for much else. I need a day in the SUN!!<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-74046979446164359222016-03-29T20:46:57.141-05:002016-03-29T20:46:57.141-05:00Jen!
