About Candy
If your house is like mine during the holiday season, you’ve got candy. I can resist hard candies and even plain chocolate, but when it comes to chocolate cherries, I’m lost.

Yay for melting snow!! Spring has made it to the west coast in full force — tree buds bursting, lots of blossoms happening. Yes we have gardens but we live rurally so they’re pretty ‘rustic’ most of the time… ferns and salal abound. There was one vegetable bed in the only sunny area but we finally gave up on it and planted more shrubs and perennials in it except for a corner with herbs. For summer I tuck a few annuals in a bed by the front sidewalk, but otherwise only put tubs of them on our back deck.
Yes indeed, Carol! Hooray for melting snow. When we move sometime in the next month or so, I’ll be leaving my rock gardens, which will tug a bit at my heartstrings, but I’m looking forward to container gardening. I think that will be fun!
