In any case, I thoroughly enjoy both ! Great stuff ! <blockquote>miss m, I'd hazard to guess you'd like the Bluets better if you saw them in person. It would be a different story I'm afraid if you actually met me.</blockquote> Hard to say which I like most; the fabulous info or fantastic sense of humour ? In any case, I thoroughly enjoy both !

Great stuff !

miss m,
I’d hazard to guess you’d like the Bluets better if you saw them in person. It would be a different story I’m afraid if you actually met me.

Giddy,
Who knows what’s in Stinky besides mischief? He’s the son of a feral cat we adopted – his mom is just a skinny little black cat.

Bluets are now in full swing here. My lawn now has a white haze in a number of spots. The mad mower is complaining because I won’t let her mow them down till after they and the Pussytoes go to seed.
