Certainly seeing a lot of familiar names here ...
	Say Hey! Youall.
My wife JoAn just brought up today the subject of downsizing our gardens.
Nature has removed so many of the trees in my shade gardens becoming more
sun than shade.  Also think I may be getting old and need to slow down a
bit, easy up a bit on my body.  
	All I know for sure is some changes are coming.

I hear you...if ten years ago I could have looked forward and seen how
incredibly busy our lives would get, I'm sure I would have gone smaller, not
bigger.  Haven't had much time the past couple of years for keeping up with
all the beds and you can sure see it...BUT...now with all the kids finally
moved out and semi-independent, maybe more free time will translate into
more time in the gardens...we'll see.  Its been awesome seeing everyone's
posts...
