I remember when I was about 3 and my brother 5, Mom would give us a penny for each potato bug we picked off the garden plants. We had dixie cups to put them in. :-) <br /><br />But the garden fever spread to me! I think the weather should hold nicely for a few days; don't know how close you are to me, but our weather is clear and HOT until Thursday. <br /><br />Good luck on the fence and I'm looking forward to Thursday's snippit.Summer Freyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234534550255682010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-81626828586267034272010-04-05T09:12:58.755-04:002010-04-05T09:12:58.755-04:00Wow.
