I wonder why your mum was so against you studying horticulture. It seems like a nice steady career - it's not like you wanted to join the circus or anything! My gosh, didn't lab work change over the years. <br /><br />I'm so glad you found your hero - even though it sounds like you might have got waylaid on the journey by a frog that didn't turn out to be Prince Charming! Great photo - and a very big snake!Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-24456963739853661062014-09-12T19:33:45.409+10:002014-09-12T19:33:45.409+10:00Yes, Jennifer, I can fly, though I haven't bee...Yes, Jennifer, I can fly, though I haven't been up for a long while. <br />Didn't mean to make anyone teary.

Yeah, funny thing, I can't manage a flower garden around the house, but give me an acre, a rotary hoe and loads of bulbs and I'll give you beautiful flowers. Same with vegetables. Growing up dad would give me vegetable seeds to grow and he'd sell the produce at the markets for me. There's something very basic about the process I still love even though I don't get out in the soil much now.Sue MacKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475372981173809219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-7893434569684083422014-09-12T09:11:39.976+10:002014-09-12T09:11:39.976+10:00Yep, Stefanie, so am I.
