My ability to convert to centimeters is still somewhat limited, but I'd say that's something like six to ten centimeters long? Really beautiful, and clearly enjoying the parsley.

I'm just glad to have them.Joan Lambert Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115423496781398997[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670240581789114113.post-11958884034514677372010-09-26T08:42:22.652-04:002010-09-26T08:42:22.652-04:00What size is it?
