    An everyday word around Minnesota! It conjures up all sorts of Scandinavian situations :O)

    Hi Roger... an expression, at the least. Fulfillment of whatever emotional response at best! ;-)

    nonizamboni - and Minnesotans would also be very knowledgeable about the zamboni! :-)

    I love hostas and mine are sending up flower spikes. I'm sure my hummers can't wait for some variety in their diet with my feeders! I separate the big ones and transplant in hopes of enjoying more of them in my yard. Your slide show is terrific!

    I have one variegated hosta in my flower garden. It looks so lovely there among the other greenery.

    Hi Lisa, I'll be separating mine this year! Won't that be great?? I'm glad you enjoyed the slide show - did you add the music?

    Hi Gigi Ann, Variegated hosta add another dimension, don't they? :-) Thanks for your visit!

    Hi Jo, Glad you could enjoy the slideshow. Everything is growing so quickly again this year, that I think that's why nothing is being nibbled, yet.

    I have a new "Guard Snail" you'll meet before long, however. ha.

    chubskulit, Thanks. :-)

    Some really nice specimens! I just have a couple of really common ones that I grew from seeds that I saved or were given to me and I should add some new ones for diversity.

    Hi Rose, It's hard to resist planting hosta when you have shade! :-)

    Hello, hocam. Thank you for visiting and leaving your comment.

    MBTh, You may be right. If you have room, some new hosta might add interest. :-)
