thank you :)
I had the best weekend!! Bonfire breakfast, hot dog night at my brother’s on Saturday, potluck yesterday—and my brother wrote a song for me, for my birthday!! Can’t get more special than that :)
And today .. well I’m so tired that I feel like I’m 50 years old!

Ms. Debbie,
I wrote a book called 7 Violet: The Harper Chronicles. It’s fiction, but it gave me an appreciation for what it takes to write something more than “lol”. Bravo to you!

I do have a question: Where can I get clean straight shoots from a hazelnut tree. I saw a craftsman on YouTube demonstrate how he makes beautiful little flowers on his lathe. We don’t have hazelnut bushes/trees in Michigan, so if you could refer me to someone who does, I’d be glad to turn them a small bouquet if they send me some nice shoots. Each flower requires about an 8 inch section of hazelnut. Diameter should be between 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch. Thanks.

-- Regards, Sir Robert

oh I’ve seen those cute little flowers.
I hope someone can help you out with this question. You should post your question in the forums to make sure everyone sees it.

Also, have you posted a request on LumberJocks.com? There are a lot more members and you might find someone local to you.

(and thanks for the Bravo) :)

Thanks for the welcome, MsDebbieP! So many people here have been so welcoming, gives one the warm fuzzies…I LOVE that feeling! :-)

Glad you liked the verse, too. That’s from a poem (can’t remember the title) by Elizabeth Barrett Browning ~ love her poetry.

-- Earth's crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God: But only he who sees, takes off his shoes, the rest sit round it, and pick blackberries...

Debbie, I just want to send you some sunshine. Spring is finally here in Washington. Can you feel the warm rays yet. Rog PS will post more photos of the flowers from my hiking trips with the Mt St Helens Hiking Club.

-- Listen quitely and nature will tell you what to do..Open your eyes widely and you will be amazed..

well I’m not feeling the warm rays today—it’s raining. Lots of rain today!
But the past week has been pretty good, overall.

I’ll be watching for the photos!!!

Debbie I think you’re a pretty amazing lady. You have posted some really cool projects and always have something great to add.

gosh.. thanks for those kind words. ... I’m such a beginner when it comes to gardening and I’m more of a student here.

Thank you for that. Now I feel better about using the pellets. :-)

Thank you for replying to my blog and my garden section. I do agree that trail and error is a learning experience. Besides I do love to sow seeds and I have plenty and do have plenty of time as well:-) Thank you for being positive for me and my garden.

Hugs

P.S. I just love reading about your posts and entries.

Debbie, I guess I am not feeling very radical these days. Robin seemed to fit better. : )

ah—visualizing EVERYONE becoming self-reliant on their land. Yes, that wouldn’t be very radical if everyone was doing what you are doing :)

Debbie, the more I am reading about permaculture, the more I am believing there are many people who think as I do. Life feels so right these days, I don’t feel very radical. I just feel peaceful. If you want to read a great book on permaculture that is not focused primarily on gardening, read Permaculture: Principles & Pathways Beyond Sustainability by David Holmgren. A very thought-provoking book I just finished, maybe I will write a review for it. I just bought Gaia’s Garden 2nd edition today. I am excited to see the changes from the first edition I checked out from the library. I decided it was a keeper.

there is a world-wide change taking place, not only to take care of the environment but each other as well.
We are slowly moving away from the the “all about me” phase of our evolution and into the “we” mentality.

I think you may be right, Debbie.
