Loading pix test
Okay~need to see what I have to do to get pix here from an online album.
First, I’ll try putting a direct link, using the insert/edit image button above:
now, although I selected “middle”, it looks like it’s on the left (unless that changes after I save/publish). Let’s see, why don’t we!
Trying the tag for e-mail or IM, this time going to next line before I insert it. Ok~That did not work. 
Tried it using “right”–and again, the direct link tag–that worked.
Okay, now I’ll put a pic of Echinopsis flowers below, hopefully in the center (using insert again).
I think the alignment is for the type around the pic! Aha!
Anyway,
this post will look a bit different than the others.
Bit into my past
Back yard, pool facing NE corner - rainy day
I started gardening a dozen yrs. ago. We cleared our yard back then, beginning with a clean slate (so to speak), save a few fruit trees my Dad planted many years ago. We installed this pool in ’01. I’ve leaned more toward my cacti & succulent addiction the past couple years, so much of the garden has suffered. Need to get back to basics!

New venture for me!
As I have never done any blogging before, this is going to be a new adventure for me. Lots of learning ahead!
