Too wrapped up in my own sense of nostalgia about roaring fires, but you gave me alot to think about and pointed me in the right direction. <BR/>And reading about the situation with your neighbors made me so ANGRY! I can't imagine what kind of people they are to continue to do something that does you so much harm. That put alot into perspective for me.<BR/>In the event that we NEED a fire, we won't be burning wood. But I'm giving that firepit a nice long rest for now.<BR/>So thank YOU, Michelle, for taking the time to comment on my blog (which I know is a pain because of the whole registration thing!). The air on my block of you-know-where will be cleaner because of you!<BR/>You Hortisexuals (of course I know you guys, you're FAMOUS!) saw the best of the best of LA garden makers!

If you still need some succulents for the show, let me know, I've got lots of Aeonium canariensis 'Mint Saucer' or Graptoveria 'Fred Ives' in particular that you might find useful...
