It looks like you'll be seeing all sorts of birds and wildlife as well which is an added bonus.<br />I hope that the move goes well, said with fingers crossed behind back so Liv doesn't see them, and look forward to seeing posts next year all about you gardening!

You popped in like I was never away ;-)<br /><br />Lots of greenery now, but next spring I will try to share the blooms with you. It would be fun to do before and after pictures with the interior, but our changes will be very slow....<br /><br />NOt only is the screened porch perfect for spring days, summer evenings, and fall afternoons, but it can serve as a great ante room for winter, as I think it's the only way out to the back from the main floor, apart from the garage. Perfect for when we have a dog with wet and muddy feet!Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-86140997183554927402012-08-23T07:45:40.556-04:002012-08-23T07:45:40.556-04:00This home really does look like dreams fulfilled.

People who knew her really loved her, and I've always been in awe of her capacity for love and her sheer capability.<br /><br />As for the CF cure, perhaps you've heard of the Vertex drug trials. They are coming close to something almost like a cure for the majority of CFers. It sure fixes the problem at the cellular level, and that's miraculous. <br /><br />Five percent of them with a rarer variation are in better luck, as the FDA is fast tracking approval of the first Vertex drug, and that is what Vertex are trying to tweak for the rest of the population. So, another year or two, we hope. I can't wait to hear him laugh properly without coughing, or carry out a normal day without getting wiped out, or have the extra hours in the day currently dedicated to treatments.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-46496645033661872242011-12-28T23:07:21.031-05:002011-12-28T23:07:21.031-05:00Gyal, sadly there's no recovering from ALS, no...Gyal, sadly there's no recovering from ALS, no cure, and no real treatment.
