Dave, you did a good job to remove the weeds and planted a nice Abies concolor 'Wintergold' instead. I guess you've to prune it regulary because the 'Wintergold' will not stay small forever... Your Cedrus deodara 'Beacon Hill' is a real eye catcher, especialy it's double leaders will give it a very special look!

'Don Juan' also points up. But I wouldn't assume this one belongs to any particular group just because it is arching, that is a widely shared mode. Canes that grow up and then bend over later, under the weight of side branches is a more or less general behavior among roses that are not ~dwarf, stubby (bedding) types.

Thanks guys! wallycat...I do love the Dacor rangetop. The heat output is terrific - everything is very even. I like the way it looks (we didn't want something as industrial looking as the Wolf), I like the way the knobs light up blue when the burner is on (helps me & my kids remember to turn it off)...all positive. prairie-girls...the fabric is Waverly. I know it is discontinued, because when we needed to make the valences for these curtains (the rest of the kitchen had them already from several years back), my curtain place couldn't get the fabric. However...my husband let his fingers do the walking around the internet and found the fabric easily. And it was cheap. I want to say Ebay, but it might have just been a fabric sight. Do a google image search for Waverly yellow and blue fabric and you'll probably find it pretty easily.

Eric, did you end up going with the Glasscraft? I've been searching for a particular style of fiberglass door and Glasscraft seems to have what I'm looking for, but I haven't heard of them until now.
