11 Feb '07 9:01 am Hi my name is Angela...I live in South Louisiana. Im on Garden Web as Cajunrosegal. Im 34 and I have 26 roses so far that Ive planted in the last year...well some are in a pot grotto...waiting on the weather to get better.
I lost my house during the storm and had to start over in the rose department. One plus is I have alot of grass to kill. LOL

How awful to have lost your home. I hope rebuilding is either underway or complete for you.
Good luck with your new garden. While it's hard to start again maybe you'll be able to do something new with it that you were itching to do before. I'm sure it'll look lovely once you're done.

Welcome to Angela
12 Feb '07 3:17 am I do hope you will stick around and join our group. I previously (almost 30 years ago) lived in Baton Rouge for three years, so my husband and I have a special fondness for Louisiana. It was heartbreaking to see the devastation in south Louisiana and all along the Gulf coast for that matter. It is still sad that so many have not yet returned to begin rebuilding their lives. I am happy that you have at least begun. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you. BTW I love your animated Avatar!

12 Feb '07 7:15 am Hello, Angela, and welcome to the Moosey forums. I just love your expression 'pot grotto'. Hope your garden and home get going again, so sorry about the loss!
What are your rose favourites?

13 Feb '07 3:06 am Hello Angela and may I just reiterate my friends' sadness at the loss of your home and their wishes for a speedy and creative return to "normality" (whatever that may be for any of us! ). Hope you stick around.
