I was just passing through blogland and came upon your nice blog and wanted to say hello. It looks as if you had a wonderful trip. I haven't been with Blotanical very long, but have 'browsed' garden blogs for the past year (until I accidentally deleted my posts--that's another story). But I started a new blog and thought I'd just jump on in. Jan<BR/>PS: I know I'm commenting on an Oct. post and it's now almost Thanksgiving! I just thought I'd post where I last looked:) Hope that isn't too confusing!!Take care!!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-66205983623609606802008-11-02T19:56:00.000-06:002008-11-02T19:56:00.000-06:00ye,Glad to help!

He took a series and this was the best of the lot! We had a great visit and it was a delight to get to know Frances even better...and to get to see her garden! She is a generous and thoughtful person and her plant gifts will be a part of my garden. <BR/><BR/>gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-383789932373141232008-10-30T09:48:00.000-05:002008-10-30T09:48:00.000-05:00How lovely to see the Faire Garden through your ey...How lovely to see the Faire Garden through your eyes this time, Gail.
