At Saturday's agency meeting, I did what every other mother does -- asked the women who were watching their children if they wanted to see a picture of my little girl and they gathered around the three small pictures of Kuang -- who may be Katherine Zhi Kuang, to be known as Katie Kuang. (Koo-ang) They oo-ed and ah-ed and pronounced her beautiful. Is she? I never know with my own.

Why Hari? . . . Because Hari is the nick name that we used to talk about our second child who has been in our hearts and dreams for a very long time.
About Me
- Name: Suz
- Location: Madison, Wisconsin, United States
I am a new gardener in Madison, Wisconsin, having come from the 'far' reaches of zone 6. Spring '08 is the first time I get to see what the last gardener left behind which is lots and lots of plants but without a discernable design.
