Here, but not here
I’m living in an alternate reality called the Garden Writers Association Annual Symposium in Raleigh, NC. I get up and get on a bus and am transported to an alien world where the plants are, well, different. I’ve only got my netbook and my photo editing tools are lame, so more when I get home. If you’re on Twitter, search on #gwa for more.
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.

Hey Kathy,
I was very happy to finally meet you #GWA. And my good fortune to sit next to you at dinner the last evening. Already looking forward to Dallas, but hope to see you with @GWI in NY this summer. H.
I was browsing the net looking for some pictures of plants. And I came to your blog. Wow! You have a wonderful trip. I don’t have a twitter account. So I hope you’ll post more pictures of that different plants here in your blog site. I’ll bookmark it.Thanks.

Patty, I was delighted to meet you, too. Yes, I am home now after an uneventful trip. Trying to catch up on my real life and hit the ground running tomorrow.

I wish I were living that alternate reality with you. It broke my heart to have to cancel out to stay home and work. But work is work and I’m grateful to have it. Enjoy!

You could install Gimp. Actually, Gthumbviewer is a nice thing for quick touch-up and resizing, if that is all you want. Since you are now using a Ubuntu variant on that laptop, you should be able to install both.

Ok, tech support. I’ll give it a whirl when I get home, but time is too precious right now
