Back to School and Lily Laments

My sweet, little neice is already lamenting the start of the school year. But I'm sure she will enjoy the second grade just fine. I'm saddened by the end of the lily season. But as soon as the lycoris and sunflowers start to bloom, I'll be okay too. Time heals all.

Gardeners should also visit MOSS IN THE CITY my urban gardening web site sponsored by the National Gardening Association. It rocks and it's updated monthly. Log in and subscribe to this hot, free newsletter.

Finally, someone offered to help me!! My brother Ronald is looking to get me not only LaLaLa HeHeHe , but two other B-side Prince classics: "Love or Money" and "Lonely Christmas".

Happy bday wishes to Ma, Alexis, and Pete.
