I went back to Louisville for a visit to the dental college to have an evaluation from one of the professors, who is an expert about my condition. My teeth, what's left of them, are also victims of the radiation I had eleven years ago. Radiation is a good cure in the short term, but a killer in the long term. I still consider myself blessed for every day I live beyond the statistics. Any way, I didn't need any treatment at this time on my teeth. While I was there, I took time to search for statues for my garden. I bought a 18 inch concrete gnome with a watering can, weights about 40 lbs. At a collector friend of mine, Jerry Lotz, I got a painted cast iron black and white cat and a bronze mermaid. I also purchased a damaged garden fairy with a hole in her head. I'm going to fill her up with non shrinking plaster and paint the hole, making her weigh more and be more stable in the garden. I'm waiting for a small statue of a fairy resting on a mushroom, that I ordered on line. When I receive all the new plants and place all my figures among the plants. I'll take pictures and shear them with all of you and you can comment with praise or criticism. I appreciate both.

Love all of you, happy gardening, Bill Mitchell
