Hi All, Happy St. Patrick's! Such a surprise to discover 44 messages when I expected only one or two! Victoria is back to normal after a week or so of warm and welcoming sunshine. Blossoms are everywhere. I've given my fish ponds their spring cleaning and repotted all the herbs. This is a special St. Patrick's for us because we are in the throes of planning a 6 week trip to Ireland where I hope to visit the seat of my ancestors in Killaloe and Cork. -- DAVE FOSTER Victoria BC [email protected] http://members.shaw.ca/davesfamily/
