Re: Wildflower pictures

Hi Donna-

Windy Meadows is a Girl Scout camp that I've spent many weekends at as a 
kid.  I love that place!
Regarding the house I grew up in- you haven't seen the back yard!! (if 
figured the current owners might not appreciate my traipsing around 
their yard).    The whole place sits on an acre (I'd kill to have that 
much space now).  We always had a huge veggie garden in the back (and 
the current owners appear to be keeping at least some part of that).  
There was literally 1 tree in the front yard when we moved in as a kid.  
My mom (with "help" from 4 little kids) planted everything you see 
there.  That cherry tree has the most delicious fruit.  I recall as a 
teenager helping to toss a giant net over the tree to keep the birds 
from eating them all before they got ripe.  I used to love mowing that 
lawn (riding mower).  The swallows would follow the mower, grabbing all 
the bugs that were disturbed.  Considering the really limited income 
available, my mom really did manage to get quite a few plants and trees 
into the place.  I still think of it as home, even though I haven't 
lived there in 18 years.  Guess that is what happens when you grow up in 
one spot most of your childhood (from age 4-21 years).  And it was a 
great place to be.
