Sorry about your hubbys job and all but I know you like being back in Florida. :-)I will get caught up on your blog at some point but just cannot seem to stop running these days!

Because they grow so slowly like you said, I'm sure it's been here for many years and probably will outlive us. It's not exactly the prettiest of trees but still one of my favorites, mainly because of that wonderful smell! Tell the Saint he's doing a great job of improving the house.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-56300417397495906882008-12-29T10:04:00.000-06:002008-12-29T10:04:00.000-06:00Tina, the coat hanger wreath ideas are endless.

The cedar in their yard was not from a nursery but just popped up voluntarily! Plus they have a holly tree that is full of berries and no other holly for miles around to pollinate it either! So she says that kills the must have both male and female theory for us. She sent me some pictures of her holly just full of berries.Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-26106241544240696302008-12-28T14:02:00.000-06:002008-12-28T14:02:00.000-06:00We used cedar a lot down in Tucker Holler; for kin...We used cedar a lot down in Tucker Holler; for kindlin, fence posts, and I even tried to make a cedar chest once. <BR/><BR/>You don't see them up here much, sadly.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005938156720914381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-47648572498102470482008-12-28T13:57:00.000-06:002008-12-28T13:57:00.000-06:00I'm a "learn as you go" gardener, too, Skeeter.
