With postcards like this it is well worth the wait, as we knew it would be. Amazing the lizard picture, and the hibiscus has me so envious.

Can't wait to give her warmth and sunshine again. <BR/><BR/>Hope your hummers are there soon.Peg Sillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264210610044622009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-86019076965534169712008-04-10T18:13:00.000-04:002008-04-10T18:13:00.000-04:00Hi Mary, It's good to see a post from you - I did...Hi Mary, <BR/><BR/>It's good to see a post from you - I didn't want to come over because I thought I'd find you still on break.
