What a nice visit, despite the weather! I hope to meet some bloggers one day, maybe in Chicago if that materializes. Those darn black cherry trees seem to fall pretty easily. One of my mom's neighbors had 15 of those suckers come down in high winds...all at once! It was quite a sight, too bad they didn't have a lucky blue pot! ;-)

How nice to read that two more bloggers got to meet in person. A mini spring fling indeed. Perhaps we should have some regional meet-ups in between various spring or fall flings (Hearing that something might be planned for Fall '09 in Chicago).

Yes Frances there should be a next time.

Just let me know when Chuck. I would love to tag along when Chuck B. tours Appalachia. We have high winds here a lot, that is why the cabin is being strapped together at every level, much like earthquake protective measures in California.

Tina that pot is amazingly lucky. Last winter it was missed twice by that .. much.

I read Frances' account first and enjoyed her picture of you "working" on your stone wall. I think it's marvelous that you guys arranged to meet up. Having met Frances and the financier, I know that you must have enjoyed their visit. The legacy of the Spring Fling (turning blogging friendships into real-life friendships) continues!

You were blessed this weekend with good company and a lucky blue pot.

Hey Christopher! We had such a great time on the mountain this weekend- thanks for the hospitality from you and your folks- who by the way have great taste in nurseries as well since we ran into them today! Glad nothing was hurt with the high winds... Great post!

Christopher, I moseyed over here to check out your blog after reading Frances' account of her visit with you. I enjoyed it so much I kept reading and was surprised & delighted to learn that you were a long time resident of Hawaii. From 1980-1982, in another life, I lived in the Manoa valley of Honolulu. I always loved to visit Maui ... but I do hear that it's grown a lot since I was last there

What a wonderful meeting it must have been, Christopher - your post as well as the post by Frances are getting me all fahrklempt. Since I've met Frances and she's met you, will that give us only two degrees of separation?

We had black cherries in IL and were similarly charmed when a huge branch engulfed and slammed a bicycle parked under its branches...thank heavens my son had gone

Nice narrative of the visit! Sorry such bad weather-that stinks. Glad you did not suffer major damage and that pot does indeed lead a charmed life. I had one taken out when a heavy branch fell on it. :(

Love the charmed blue pot. How cool to strap-and-bracket the house together. Sounds cool anyway. I shall be very happy to visit outside Clyde one day myself. Hopefully during more chuck-friendly weather.

Oh Christopher, I am amazed at the intactness of the big blue pot as well as the houses. What a day and night it was, thoroughly enjoyed by all of the Faire Garden clan that attended. Thanks for the hospitality, next time we will arrange for the weather to be more hospitable as well, but there will be a next time!
