Re: Patchwork questions
Hi Kathie,
Cool bugs. I agree, sqush'em. Sorry about the arid comment -- I guess
the places that are always shown on TV just look that way. Anyway, I would
be jealous -- we're drowning here. The weather is warm but the ground is
soggy (maybe swampy would be a better word). If this keeps up it'll be next
year before the ground dries out! Does anyone know if pumpkins can swim?
