We've had so much rain and cool temps, although the temps have risen this past week. We hit 100+ yesterday. But I don't mind. I'll take the heat over snow any day!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-25639264267170022942009-06-24T13:15:15.142-04:002009-06-24T13:15:15.142-04:00Paula, I really must learn more about her, and rea...Paula, I really must learn more about her, and read her books.

Wouldn't she love them?!<br /><br />Lisa, there are pictures of Margery Fish out in her garden wearing skirts. And Katharine White walking around in the same kind of clothes. I don't believe she actually worked in her garden, but MF did. I can still remember the days when women didn't wear pants as a rule. Imagine! I never saw either of my grammies in anything but 'house dresses.'Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-40449121902891888892009-06-23T18:35:58.613-04:002009-06-23T18:35:58.613-04:00Can you imagine getting out into the garden all tr...Can you imagine getting out into the garden all trussed up like this??

You just gave me your 2 cents worth but it is worth much more as guess what I have spent the day doing??? Yes, I was already thinking if I just organize everything, I will be much happier and it is so. I am thrilled to be taking a little control again of things too after all these months. I might not be all better yet but I am getting there. <br /><br />Hugs ~<br />HeidiHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060822757546401667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-64887730471719160362009-06-22T11:21:11.965-04:002009-06-22T11:21:11.965-04:00Not an antique, Carole!
