And I love comments from you, too. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, <B>Lisa at Greenbow</B> - maybe another tree song will be next ;-]<BR/><BR/>Thanks, <B>Iris in Austin</B> - I'm looking forward to seeing your house turn colors soon! <BR/><BR/>Okay <B>Layanee</B> - the concept of you having to control potty mouth has blown my circuits! We both love the online shared gardening experience but I still hope we can meet in the real world, too. <BR/><BR/>Thank you so much, <B>M2</B> - I love your blog and admire your storytelling. Happy 2009!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for coming, <B>IVG</B> - and I hope you have a banner year in your Iowa garden. <BR/>People in our area set off fireworks from early evening until 2AM...have to admit I like them as festive background. We spent a lot of New Year's Eve on the phone to our family, watching Mamma Mia between calls. I can remember when TV stations showed Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers films non-stop at New Years - guess seeing a musical seems just right! <BR/><BR/>You'd probably get some <I>very</I> cool birds with a fountain, <B>Pam/Digging</B> - you're closer to natural areas.

It's ridiculous how many times I have to look up something about my own garden on this blog. Happy New Year! <BR/><BR/>It's always fun visiting your garden, <B>Leslie in California</B> - may this year bring you lots of good things!<BR/><BR/>Hello <B>Prairie Rose</B> - Gardening is a little like baseball - we always want that homerun, and are always saying Wait Until Next Year. Wishing you a honey of a year, Ms Bee!<BR/><BR/>Five years of gardening with deer led to the Salvia song, <B>Gail</B> - our move was for other reasons, but leaving them behind was a welcome side-effect. Happy New Year and good luck! How lucky I was to meet you in person! <BR/><BR/>Thank you, <B>MorningGlories in RoundRock</B>. It would be fun to meet you someday - in the meantime hope you had a <A HREF="http://round-rock-morning-glories.blogspot.com/2009/01/happy-new-year.html" REL="nofollow">Rootin-Tootin New Year</A>. <BR/><BR/>Nearly fell off the chair when I saw your comment, <B>LostRoses</B> - we were beginning to think you really were lost!

Happy New Year in your Pacific NW garden! <BR/><BR/>Ooh, <B>Renee in Austin</B> - good play on words! I love your Statesman blogs and articles! <BR/><BR/>Hi <B>Red Dirt Dee</B> - meeting you was very special and seeing your garden through your blog is fun...although I'm a little jealous because Pam/Digging got to visit Rosehaven in person! Happy 2009. <BR/><BR/>I turned off the timer for the lights and started taking the decorations down, but didn't get far, <B>MMD,</B> - too much to do outside! Thank you for the extremely kind words about my blog. I would not want you to change, either except I hope you get that fountain in 2009! <BR/>(Thanks for the reminder that Frances had the Bela Lugosi)<BR/><BR/>For 2009 I will wish you a much better year, <B>Jon</B> - good gardening, good friends and good health! <BR/><BR/>Thank you for the rain wishes, <B>Cindy from Katy</B> - and hope we meet again!
