What gets me is that this is the third spring in a row that I won't be
able to work in the garden as I want. When your white count is down,
they don't want you in the soil or fooling with plants, such as roses,
because of the fungi, etc. AND, I am restricted from fresh fruits and
veggies for the same reasons. I will STARVE.



So, I am planning to get my head painted with flowers.

Glad to hear from you, too! There are lots of us, survivors that is, out 
there. Remember Darwin's words: "It's not the strongest or the most 
intelligent who survive. It's the most adaptable." That's certainly not a 
verbatim quote, but that's the jist of it. My theory of survival has always 
been that I drive on the highway.
