Ideally, less than an hour long commute! :)<br /><br />I thought of the rosemary cuttings, myself. They will be another good plant for the parkway and should thrive. <br /><br />I read up a bit about the radiation, but I'll read up more, closer to the time. Hopefully, the side effects will be minimal.<br /><br />The new quilting techniques seem overly complicated. Almost all my quilts are scrap pieced from leftovers from other sewing projects. Very little color coordinating, etc. And yes, I still have my fabric stash! Really need to sit and sew more.<br /><br />I am knitting myself a summer top from some cotton-like yarn I had in my stash. Will take some photos and post one of these days. <br /><br />How are things going with you and your health issues? Is everything OK? Wish you all the best.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-10305912754346523792016-04-16T06:44:36.578-07:002016-04-16T06:44:36.578-07:00hi, delighted you've completed 5 of 12 session...hi, delighted you've completed 5 of 12 sessions of Taxol and that DD is no longer ill. Perhaps she should wear a mask as so much virus floats in the air on campus :) What's worse is touching bannisters or door handles and then touching face without realizing it!<br />If DD plans to work in Berkley, I hope she choses an apartment within reasonable distance from the job site to eliminate transportation headaches. I recall your hour commute on normal days and if anything goes wrong on the freeway it gets worse!<br /><br />I wonder if Rosemary cutting you're currently rooting would thrive planted at your parkway. [We use the word boulevard up here] We likewise are challenged by salted gravel thrown up all winter from the roads adjacent to homes.<br /><br />It's distressing to hear someone was burned during their radiation treatment. It means that the technician was not being mindful during the treatment process. That translates to abdicating an essential role. You might read up on the process in advance of your sessions. Radiation certainly zaps energy but that and the tiny tattoo should be the only side affects.<br /><br />Lovely to learn you are taking some walks, it's an excellent excercise so important to your over all health. There is a new quilting show here on PBS. I watched the initial show and was totally overwhelmed by the new, complicated techniques. Each 4" x 4" square results from 12 pieces, 3 being pieced triangles. The resulting product was beautiful but co ordinating the colors on a graph paper grid in advance of buying the fabric looked to me like a job for an architect. What are you knitting these days? Perhaps share photos? Will you work on some new summer garments for yourself? Do you still have a remarkable fabric stash? Perhaps DD will need items for the working world...<br /> <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02300753676190713027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-5464768128931078832016-04-16T05:36:43.141-07:002016-04-16T05:36:43.141-07:00Thank you!

However, last year, at the urging of some residents, the City approved an ordinance to allow the growing of certain edible plants along the parkways, without a paid permit (fruit trees still need a permit). I think it's a marvelous idea.

You have a beautiful eye for flowers. I'm glad that the consultation went well, and fingers crossed that it keeps on going! xLyssa Medanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350926829113722058noreply@blogger.com
