I felt quite proud to be an (almost) american this week. The highlight being Aretha Franklin singing what you call ‘my country ’tis of thee’ but what I call The British National Anthem – God save the queen.
‘This is the same as God Save the Queen’ I said to my wife. ‘We should stand up and salute Elizabeth’ my wife smiled at me and continued to watch Aretha.
I have a feeling 2009 might be an amazing year.

Hello there,
I too was so pleased to get the election behind us, so now we can get onto better things. Such as covering and uncovering my outside plants. We in Florida are due for our third straight night of freezing temps. I had placed halogen lights beside the trunks of trees. They look a little droopy this afternoon. Will recover later today.

Margaret … I designed more seed saving envelopes and posted about them today … twice. Two small ones on a page and one big one on a page. I’ll be ready to scatter my seeds when spring arrives.
Best regards, Rosemary
