Did you ever build your "pool" in the yard? I am a big garden pond person and they can be tricky to get into a yard with the zoning issues, not to mention you guys probably have an HOA as well. You can email me mina at udonet dot com if you want more info / help. BTW Love your rescue animals I was crying every time someone passed on .... I cannot stand losing animals. That has been a big challenge for me, moving to a horse farm. There are so many ways for animals to get themselves killed, it is mind-boggling :-( <br /><br />BTW I am sure your kitty from Altgeld Gardens had no idea on the passing of time as she sat on your back porch, she was just glad you made it to her in time before she died. There was probably nothing you could have done for her anyway, IME cats are hardy right up until something bad happens to their bodies after which they are almost impossible to save. Don't feel bad about what happened, she loved you that was all that mattered to her in the end. She is always with you. mina smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771791855450303425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928007866208585066.post-65861641812191508312013-06-22T22:31:35.829-07:002013-06-22T22:31:35.829-07:00Dear, Andie,

I hope you find it amusing.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>Hurrah!

I was honestly beginning to worry about you, since you "disappeared" for several weeks. <br /><br />I hope you will return to blogging, yourself, one day soon. Yours is one of the few charming and encouraging personal sites I've ever found. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself. I know virtually all of us who visit here have become devoted fans of you and your blog.<br /><br />Best always,<br /><br />FTFreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928007866208585066.post-15257707779653986832013-06-05T07:25:46.850-07:002013-06-05T07:25:46.850-07:00Andie, dear, it's been so long since we've...Andie, dear, it's been so long since we've heard from you I can't help wondering if you are well? <br /><br />Maybe you're just exhausted from being so amazingly productive? <br /><br />At any rate I hope you are perfectly well and happy as you deserve to be.<br /><br />I STILL advise planting LEYLAND CYPRESS. I's the fastest-growing privacy hedge I know, and extremely hardy.

A new blogging friend appeared and she shares a story of a CList find that you MUST see! Her photos, story and found piece is simply stunning. (Like so many of your acquisitions!)<br /><br />Clearly, you two have much in common and need to connect. I sent her a link to your blog and I am doing the same for her. Kindred spirits.<br /><br />Here is the link to Victoria's blog post:<br />http://victoriaelizabethbarnes.com/share-your-favorite-find/#comment-11770<br /><br /><br />Hope you are enjoying our gorgeous sunny weather here in IL today.<br />Have a great weekend, friend!<br /><br />xoxox<br />AlisonAlison @ The Polohousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04158070644111719007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928007866208585066.post-17217529113769190372013-05-19T15:46:29.162-07:002013-05-19T15:46:29.162-07:00A royal garden.

I took cuttings from my mother-in-law's lilac, as it was a lilac tree my husband's father had planted. So I took lots of cuttings for the family and decided to turn mine into standards. They are small at the moment but will look fabulous when full grown.<br />I adore gardens which are full of interest and Andie that certainly applies to yours. Thank you so much, I have thoroughly enjoyed my visit.<br />Have a wonderful weekend and I hope your roses blossom very soon.<br />Best wishes<br />DaphneIvy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928007866208585066.post-71502526035659623712013-05-02T10:27:17.662-07:002013-05-02T10:27:17.662-07:00Dear Andie, your garden has really taken on!!!
