MAINE!!!!!!<br /><br />We are in Dallas right now and it was 107 degrees yesterday...expected to be as hot or hotter today. I see the damage to landscapes, trees, and people everywhere. Pray for rain and some relief.<br /><br />Onward to Oklahoma City for Ag in the Classroom where I will kick off the conference for 500 educators.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />SharonSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-7713830741535266482011-07-27T11:05:48.592-07:002011-07-27T11:05:48.592-07:00Hope your tour is going well.

Our plant is from the 1990's and has never bloomed! It just lingers in the basement.<br /><br />2. Was just in France as you know and the French contrary to Hugo do eat cinnamon. They even eat it on their delicious cheese! Just a small French joke!<br /><br />3. You have to get better helpers, Sharon. They can't eat the delicious food unless they participate or I may have to start vetting them for you! Ha! <br /><br />Is this your bird book book tour? Wow, that time went fast or may be it was because I was away! Any way always lovely to eat with your family and friends. Lucky, lucky people. Safe travels to Maine and on your book tour. xxoo NancyLemon Verbena Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157574973101829448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-29556248136221585942011-07-25T13:56:41.420-07:002011-07-25T13:56:41.420-07:00I promise, we DO eat cinnamon!!!

Just this month, a new shoot (this is correct?) came out of the top and my husband cut it off and it will HOPEFULLY root. My Aunt Leona gave it to us and she passed away in 1995, so I feel that her beauty is still with us...<br />Oh, and it is quite a feat for my husband to get the cactus in the garage for the winter, he is 6'4" and sometimes it is a struggle. But oh, it's all worth it!!!
