I can also put you in contact with a local dog trainer who can come to your home or tell you where her classes are. <br /><br />I think the red branch bushes are Dogwood bushes. We had some that looked like that during the winter until we took them out. http://www.naturehills.com/bushes-and-shrubs/dogwood-shrubs?gclid=CIXnlbiZkLwCFY49QgodGzkAjwPNWBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599445541260252801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854534.post-59709374533985709082012-09-02T18:26:17.664-07:002012-09-02T18:26:17.664-07:00I find that I write my blog posts and journal entr...I find that I write my blog posts and journal entries completely differently. One is for public consumption, and is usually sunny and upbeat. The journal? Sometimes sunny, sometimes angsty. So I'd rather re-read my blog posts than my journal entries!

Lipton's yellow loose tes is nice aswell. And yeah, it has to be sugar, honey just tastes wrong and full fat milk for me :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8854534.post-69293851203702754182012-04-29T16:55:32.747-07:002012-04-29T16:55:32.747-07:00Lovely pictures from the Chinese Classical Garden....Lovely pictures from the Chinese Classical Garden.

But I just gained the Teen's bedroom as a knitting studio, so I'm definitely not ready to downsize! Yes, we who make things need some space to do that. <br /><br />Sorry that you're cat-free.
