I don't plan to post anything until I'm back from my San Francisco trip on the 11th, and it may be a few days before I get around to it even then, with catch-up to do after leaving the orchids in the care of a house-sitter.
To provide a little fun and games to brighten up your summer, I'd like to set up a contest. It goes like this:
In the two years that this blog has been in existence, what are the 5 posts that have received the most page views? Frankly, I was surprised when I checked. The person who comes closest to guessing will get a BIG gift package full of fragrant surprises. The second place person will get a medium box of fragrant surprises, and third place will get a little box of the same. If no one guesses any of them, I'll start giving clues to aid in the treasure hunt, and it will be over when it's over, i.e., when there are three people who correctly guess at least one to three of the most "popular" posts.
Over and out.

Not to say that these are *my* favourites. Those would be the ones on your own scents and your rants.
Hope you had a great success at the Artisan Show.

Lindaloo, I'm glad to hear that somebody likes my rants! I'm sure not everyone does. You (or any other reader) can still add your guesses based on the clues and the list of correct choices so far. That way, you'd be in the running for third place.
