I do think they like a brisk climate like in Oregon and Washington.<br /><br />I'm not familiar with the French phrase “supplice de Tantale”. The Google online tool translates it simply as "tantalizing". I'm afraid my French does not go much beyond ordering from a menu.Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-10762867298800509172010-10-04T13:17:17.353-07:002010-10-04T13:17:17.353-07:00Dear Glennis,

You are talented with your Macro eye. It is such a wondrous way to see the small and lovely details, like the glossiness of these spectacular berry clusters.

It was long, you were brave to do it.<br /><br />My mom thanks you too, for your lovely message.<br /><br />Yesterday was the first day with no air conditioner around here.
