I'm going to take a break from blogging for a week and a half, beginning tomorrow. I wished I knew a way to keep things going here in my absence, other than posting Wild Cards. But I don't. I know you Berry Pickers don't like my vacations. But it's one of the perks that haven't been affected by cutbacks. Frankly, if I didn't have the break from online world, I don't think I could do this for the 5-plus years that i have. If anyone has ideas re: how to get through my vacations -- another should be coming in midsummer and the final one at the end of the year -- please let me know. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to gardening and enjoying this beautiful part of the country for the next 10 days or so.
