Do not give up on any Clematis too soon! They do this sometimes. Congratulations! I found a straggling Montana Clemmie that I planted 3 years ago and never saw after her first winter here. Added compost and some organic fertilizer around her.

Silly weeduz...gwass is fo SMOKIN'! N smokin's fo COOKIN'! (was going to say, "N smokin's fo FOOZ!" but too many "weeduz" ain't smokin', and theyz still fooz)

I think I had heard this one before but had forgotten it. So I got another good laugh.

Okay...the rest of the story... When I stirred it up I was stirring up a double batch... I then poured it into two 9x13 pans... I must have gotten more of the pumpkin mix into one of the pans than the other one... Because the one I took to church (that looked delicious) could not be eaten with a plastic fork...NO WAY...you could not stick the fork in it...I was so embarrassed. Denny leaned over to me and said..." How much were the pans?" I'm thinking "HUH?" He said the cake pans..."Maybe we should just grab the lids and run"......LOL... My grandaughter said..." forget it grandma...it won't help...you've got your name written on the pan..they'll still know it was you that made it!!!"......very funny Kacie But the one at home was great...So I'm assuming there wasn't enough moisture in the other pan...I just picked the wrong pan to take to church. There was a lot left over in the other pan of the Apple stuff I made too...I guess the word passed around..."if it says Patti on the pan....don't eat it !!!" Oh well. "S" At least you couldn't taste the chili powder mistake. patti
