HE SAID: What are you going to write about?
SHE SAID: I thought I'd do a post on the magnolia.
HE SAID: Not the Chicago Spring Fling?
SHE SAID: No, this is too exciting. I've moved this plant twice and waited nine years for it to bloom, and I thought I was going to miss the big moment while we were in Chicago. I mean, just look at that flower!
HE SAID: But I've got 300 pictures from the weekend.
SHE SAID: They'll keep.
HE SAID: #^%@(*!
SHE SAID: He really did say #^%@(*!
She's right. That's spectacular.

Erin — wait til I tell him what you said!
MMcGD — I was so glad to find that bloom after such a great time in Chicago. Made the weekend perfect! And I agree; it was such fun to finally put faces with all these blogs!

I can see why the Chicago pics had to wait if you had that beautiful blossom to show off at home. But Mark, I really cannot wait to see all 300 of your photos. It was marvelous to meet you both and spend time talking with you in the lobby in the evenings.

You guys are great! I can admire the magnolia and your pleasure with it, but await the photos taken at the fling. So nice to meet you and chat. :-)

Pam and Katie — It was great to meet both of you.
Pam, loved the wedding picture and wish I had seen it earlier; you are so cute and young! M. did take some pretty good photos. Had fun last night unwinding at home and looking at them.
Katie — Glad to meet the next generation of gardeners and another great photographer. One of the most interesting aspects of this event is seeing how everyone captured it visually and in words. So far, we've got photos but have not come to any conclusions on what we want to say. Stay tuned.
