We got caught again yesterday chez Leclerc.<BR/><BR/>CHM, you are revealing all my secrets! Okay, okay, you were right. I say: don't trust or underestimate the Republicans. It's not over until it's over.<BR/><BR/>Hey, if I gave the impression that our garden tunnels are plastic, I was mistaken. They are made of cloth, not plastic sheeting.<BR/><BR/>My bottle is always half-empty. So sorry, but that's my point of view when it comes to wine. Ginny, I agree with you, as usual.<BR/><BR/>Evelyn, look for Walt's post tomorrow.

Those plastic tunnels look great - I am collecting all those nifty ideas for shopping on my next trip to France - plastic cork for our home-made wine, plastic tunnels for home gardening ( I have lost so many plants because we put them outside on Victoria Day (mid-may) but then frost sets in and we can't do much)<BR/><BR/>It's the first time that I see chm talking about politics :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-11334514368574728552009-03-13T17:12:00.000+01:002009-03-13T17:12:00.000+01:00The best way to test whether you are an optimist o...The best way to test whether you are an optimist or a pessimist is to ask yourself the following question: "Is the bottle of wine in front of you half empty or half full?". I think you can work out the conclusion for yourself :)) MartineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-46548601506295057362009-03-13T17:03:00.000+01:002009-03-13T17:03:00.000+01:00I think those plastic tunnels are so cool!

If you get too much rain, I think that some of it will be deflected off the top and sent away from the main root balls.<BR/><BR/>I'm an optimist, but can turn pessimist in uncertain times. Evil won't win in the end- that's my comforting idea.<BR/><BR/>When my daughter and I went to see Obama in January 08, we were mightily impressed with him. It would have been easy to shake his hand that day- I wish I had!<BR/><BR/>It is good to have a president who appeals to our youth and youth all over the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-9051560014094330722009-03-13T15:37:00.000+01:002009-03-13T15:37:00.000+01:00It's so great to see you call yourself an optimist...It's so great to see you call yourself an optimist!

I remember last summer you were a pessimist about Obama's chances to win. I told you I put all my faith in the American youth, because the Republicans were, and still are, a bunch of fossilized reaganomics and religion zealots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-84924144633173855642009-03-13T14:10:00.000+01:002009-03-13T14:10:00.000+01:00Excellent summary of shopping at different superma...Excellent summary of shopping at different supermarkets in France – I can totally relate to it.
