Perhaps we'll be able to get together sometime this Spring or Summer? I'll let you know the next time we travel West. :-)<br /><br />Hi Gail - G for Gail. :-) You are sweet.<br /><br />Liz, If things are late, YOU are appreciating them!! Last year, everything was early here. At this time, there were little crocus flowers blooming in the grass... It's always an interesting situation - Spring. :-)<br /><br />I love the differences in our language. Our jam has the fruit in it. Our jelly is just the juice made into an easy spread, and our jello - wiggly collagen with juice flavor. lol.<br /><br />Is your work progressing on your tea house? And what about the garden shed??Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-1308135458163449252011-03-06T13:37:20.472-06:002011-03-06T13:37:20.472-06:00I always thought grape nehi was an invented drink!...I always thought grape nehi was an invented drink! (you can't advertise on the BBC, so they have lots of invented names for stuff!)<br /><br />We have lots of grape hyacinths in the garden, but they're only just begining to pop up - everything is a bout 2 weeks later than usual this year.<br /><br />Mild moment of confusion over the grape jelly there though. Your jelly is our jam and our jelly is your jello!!! :)Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-35049708481866498602011-03-05T21:03:35.356-06:002011-03-05T21:03:35.356-06:00G is for good people like you, great gardens and s...G is for good people like you, great gardens and soon we shall see the grape hyacinths! xxoogailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-37212257870526562862011-03-05T20:10:34.589-06:002011-03-05T20:10:34.589-06:00Great G post!

Yes, I do have to be careful about moving by the window. They don't hang out for long at any one feeding anyway, though. It helps to keep the light off.<br /><br />I plan to put another photo up by my blog title at some point. I hadn't decided if it was going to be the yard again, or the first bloom, like I plan to put as the background photo.<br /><br />I am so ready for spring to be here, as I know all of us are.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-5622044801561595482011-03-04T17:06:40.333-06:002011-03-04T17:06:40.333-06:00Catherine!

My little one is already asking if she can pick them. They've really started naturalizing in several areas of my garden.
