I didn't know the Queen Crape had a scent. I'll have to check that out next time I'm near one. The Jane Austen quote cracks me up. It is so TRUE of a Florida gardener in the summertime.NanaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425496284594894548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-46313667519754795522010-08-04T21:35:55.259-04:002010-08-04T21:35:55.259-04:00First of all, I came by to tell you that the littl...First of all, I came by to tell you that the little pillow you made for Gina is just precious.

My two little white ones are growing slowly; not sure I will get blooms this year.<br /><br />The cake sounds wonderful. We just finished Ilene's Hot Milk Sponge Cake that I had in the freezer. It tastes very much like pound cake. We love it.<br /><br />The rose is a beauty. My two heirlooms have had blooms all summer, a first for them. I guess the special care and feeding has helped. Of course, I have to either pick off or spray the Japanese Beetles daily.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-84061617470735326272010-08-04T01:00:48.049-04:002010-08-04T01:00:48.049-04:00That is a humongous rain barrel.
