I devoured Chris Rose's book right after it came out. That one and many other books written about Katrina.<br /><br />After my trip there last week I brought back magnolia, camellia, louisiana sweet gum, crepe myrtle, chinese tallow and various other windfall leaves. I've experimented with magnolia and camellia leaves and didn't have much luck so now I have some soaking in some rusty water for my next try. What leaves did you work with while you were there.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059306509114772324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-48065564480309284682012-12-03T06:36:47.453+10:302012-12-03T06:36:47.453+10:30oh my - what a post treat

I have difficulty imagining widespread flooding (I live amongst rolling hills - we only have 'flash' flooding) but fire I have a greater understanding of... its also been 30 years since the last massive fires in our area .... every fire season we wait to see if its going to be another tough one - fire is inevitable in our country.ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260679591630131813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-90251488981005468002012-12-03T03:04:57.120+10:302012-12-03T03:04:57.120+10:30Yep, 30 year anniversary coming up . . . if we don...Yep, 30 year anniversary coming up . . . if we don't get a big one this year, I'll eat my boots.
