neo-neocon
So, let's see. You used to call yourself a liberal. But things changed after 9/11, and now you're not sure what to call yourself anymore. Try "neo-neocon" on for size.

About Me
- Name: neo-neocon
I'm a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England. Surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely leaving the fold and becoming that dread thing: a neocon. My friends and family are becoming sick of what they see as my inexplicable conversion, so I've started this blog to give vent to my frustration. I have a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and my politics make me a pariah there, too. Little did I know that I moved in such politically homogeneous circles. Why the apple? See this.

Nice photo, nice job of posting said photo. I oughta' try the Blogger photo system, but just stick photos on my server space.
NEO....Very good post job, and a great looking garden as well.
Beautiful...now we're talking!!! I see lot's of my favorites. I'm into my wild circus of daylily blooms right now. I throw caution to the wind and let a riot of colors,sizes, shapes, and textures co-mingle and have a party. After I get exhausted from hanging out with my loud daylilies, I head for the shade and calm down with the peaceful hosta. The past couple of months, I've been loading pictures onto flickr (a major accomplishment since I've admitted I'm a techno dinosaur)...anyway, my site (with way more pictures than even I want to see) is www.flickr.com/photos/michaelagardens
Well, maybe I'm not meant to fess up to my site since I loused up the address. I'll try one more time and if I goof it up again, I'll accept the hand of fate. www.

Yaay! Beautiful garden.
Now you're one up on me. I'm still testing my ability to post comments.
My last attempt at gardening occurred many years ago during my long haired hippie days. I was growing marihuana in the back of my apartment complex. Things were going quite well. Alas, someone stole my stuff. My faith in my fellow human beings was thoroughly shattered. I’ve never been the same since.
