Oh Chris!!! I LOVE KAYLA\'S ARTWORK!!! it really is very good--and remember, I owned the art gallery for 10 years--it\'s really GREAT!!! I do hope that Kayla continues with her art!!! Glad that the family is so supportive of her! Big trip to go and see the work... I REALLY love the COLORS she chose!!!

Your plants look so happy and healthy! Mine are SCREAMING to get into the ground, but it was so wet today, I DID NOT want to compact the soil...
This weekend, I\'ll hit it hard and probably get most planted. I did plant all of my flowers today, and finally got into the pond again to fix the pump for the 8000 time... I think we\'re good now, but jury is still out...

Love to you and Mom and Dad and the girlz!!! Have a SUPER EVENING!!! Did my baking yesterday so I HAVE THE PROMISED COOKIES for the boyz next door who help me on the farm... Have FUN TOMORROW!!! xoxoxo Cj

PS: Choco Chip Oatmeal Peanut Butter cookies made with whole wheat flour--YUMMY!!!
