		<description><![CDATA[Harry (entering the house): What is that horrible smell? Me: Smell? You mean dinner? Harry: No, worse than that. It smells like Sarah was sprayed by a skunk again. Did she? Me: No skunk. Now that you mention it though, there is a rank odor in here. Harry (following his nose): UGH. It&#8217;s these things! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There have been springs when we have been deluged with rain. There have been years when I was already hauling hoses in May. But this year we&#8217;ve been fortunate to have just the right amount of rain&#8212;not too much and not too little. I think the purple stuff here likes it too. Maybe we have been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[April is quite a yellow month, isn&#8217;t it? I mean, there&#8217;s the forsythia, the witch hazel, the daffodils. If that weren&#8217;t enough we can now get our azaleas in shades of orange-yellow. And don&#8217;t forget that drop-dead beautiful magnolia &#8216;Yellow Bird.&#8217; (I want.) You know what? I don&#8217;t care. After seeing brown, brown, brown all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I never really understood the interest in growing monster vegetables to see how big they can get. To me, the point of vegetable growing is to eat the things. But more often than not once a vegetable reaches gigantic proportions it is no longer edible. But perhaps it&#8217;s akin to my fascination with  sunflowers. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This may look like just another sunflower photo to you. To me though, there are two very interesting things about this image. First, I didn&#8217;t plant this sunflower. I have planted sunflowers, but not this one. The sunflower I planted are &#8216;Titan&#8217; and they aren&#8217;t quite blooming yet. This sunflower was planted by a bird, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Carol, I know that you host a monthly Bloom Day event there at May Dreams Gardens, where gardeners share their monthly in-bloom reports.  I usually don&#8217;t participate because of 1) inattention, 2) lack of blooms 3) fear of competition 4) nothing particularly interesting to say and 5) general busy-ness. But after suffering through nearly [...]]]></description>

I also broadcast another 15 or so pounds of bird seed onto the snow in the back yard.  Can your ankles get frostbite in ten minutes? I&#8217;m back inside [...]]]></description>

Instead, I found that my strategy of packing in the plants was working. The flowers, vines and vegetables had pretty much crowded out any weeds, so my weeding took all of [...]]]></description>
