It was so fun planting those teeny little trees with the HUGE long rebar. I'm not sure if it's a cordon or not when it will be straight instead of leaning, but I'm going to prune them sort of like a Christmas tree shape. <br />I hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-17457752547043099632011-10-14T22:07:01.997-07:002011-10-14T22:07:01.997-07:00Hi Jane..well thank you.

I'm a new gardener, so maybe I'll find more to do than I think. The store really is my other passion. I don't know how many cards we have, a couple thousand maybe...good question, I'll have to count tomorrow...and I personally read and select every one. There is no grand plan, I look at it, do I love it, would I buy it...if yes...then it's in!!<br />I'll have to go in and see if you posted today!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-18907611755684871502011-10-14T20:28:21.362-07:002011-10-14T20:28:21.362-07:00Hope you had a great holiday!

It coincides with harvest time so people decorate with the harvest. Corn, gourds, pumpkins etc. I am thinking that it is the same for you? I do know that you have the Macy's parade and we do NOT have that. My sister and I watch it on TV every year.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-31178539008295254942011-10-11T08:06:39.950-07:002011-10-11T08:06:39.950-07:00Everything looks lovely!
