Omigod, I am dying of laughter. That really is the whole package, so to speak. Made me think of some garlic scapes I bought awhile back: I guess we never really grow up, thank heavens.

I will forgive you. I had 2 freezers with 6 carcasses in each. I finally made them into stock, so I could make gravy on Thanksgiving. We are having flank steak pinwheels, stuffed with smoked Gouda and spinach which will be smoked on the smoker. No gravy outta that. But I have to have potatoes and gravy. Gravy is considered a beverage in my mind. I LOVED the "Well, a couple of years ago my sister-in-law told me that her parents became tired of our bird bodies" comment. It had me in stitches! Which I needed after today at work, where all the customers think Thanksgiving is a new holiday.

Ingrid, I found some!!! I had a day off today and took a drive to the nursery specialising in old roses about an hour away and.... tucked in a corner they had Limonium!!! I asked how it does in our zone and the guy said it was the first time they had it and he'd never seen it!! Anyway, he gave me one to try for free, and I promised him updates. So exciting!!!! I can't wait to find a spot for it and see how it does. Thank you! Without seeing your photos I wouldn't have had the joy of testing out this new plant in the garden! :) PS --- It goes without saying the the car on the way back was FULL, not only do they specialise in old and botanical roses - I picked up a rosa primula and gymnocarpa - but also in perennials that are hard to find around here.------ Rosa primula + cistus in a sunny car for an hour long drive = heaven.---------

OP, I would be surprised if anyone noticed the absence of likes from you specifically. I'm sure they appreciate what they receive, but a like is not like a dinner party, you don't have to give one if you receive one.
