Re: AND water!
I've had a ball, Spudlydoo, writing in this thread. Lord a'mighty, I CAN still write...and I forget all about my stiff left hand.
It gets more supple as I go, almost hourly.

Uh, I'm a girl, 72...what are you? Just so I can picture you in your garden.
You got any mountains nearby? Mountains always have a flow of moisture.
A friend in New York loves the Silk Road...that's the paths across the Gobi desert where they carried riches from China to the Middle East.
She was so proud when she figured out why they followed the mountains...that's where the water was.
I got a few planefuls I could ship you.
We live in a lake-filled long valley...the Okanagan. It's pretty warm here in the summer so we grow lots of fruits and grapes.
You should taste our ice wine.
Look up "Mission Hill Winery"...they have good photos, near our home.

Maybe planefuls of ice wine would be useful...?
