Other option is I could plant Arum there with something else behind it that comes up during the warm months...???

OmoiGaara, great post!! Thanks for the information...we just bought some property that is covered with White Oaks, and we love them. I found this post while finding out more about our trees. Some of them have mistletoe growing in them, and I also noticed the galls on some of the leaves...at the time I didn't know what was inside so when I gently opened on, I dropped it with a squeal when I saw something moving around inside!

Auburn! Mainly because the coach's father was principal at my daughter's high school. He was a terrific person. Also because my niece graduated from Auburn and we went to her graduation. Nice for a smaller school. My niece went to the game--paid $900 just for the game ticket plus airfare from Boston, rental car and hotel. She met up with all her sorority sisters and they've been partying since Saturday. That college degree must be paying off pretty well!

Good luck! I think we all have hind sight. I'd never give up my washer/dryer again until the inspection report was known. What stunk for us was that our new house refused to include a washer/dryer when we asked. I think the day before closing, our saleslady emailed to say she'd gotten the washer/dryer approved, we said no thanks. I already had a set ordered from Sears. With a family of 4, I can't be without for more then a few days. We replaced our furnace after being on for 6 or 7 months. I think it was a big selling point for the buyers that all of the mechanicals were updated within the last few months to a year. Keep us posted.
