I am wanting to do a trade. I would LOVE to try your: SOLAR FLARE variety and only need about 5 seeds. I have these varieties that I did not notice on your list: Burgess Lemon (only 5 seeds from Wintersown and several years old) Hovarth (only 2 seeds left from Wintersown and several year old) Peacevine Cherry (10 seeds from Kenyon Organics, probably 2 years old) God Love (5 seeds from Kenyon Organics, probably 2 years old) Abe Lincoln (about 10 from Livingston Seed Co, less than year old) San Marzano (about 10 from Organic Ferry-Morse, less that year old) I am rather new to this forum and unsure how to proceed. Is there a way you can message me to exchange addresses? I can send a SASE.

Rebecca, I enjoyed reading about your adventures. Good for you, learning Spanish. I know it too and it sure comes in handy here in Southern California, and for my job. Michael, try holding down the option key while typing the letter e, then letting go and typing the letter you want accented. For ñ hold down the option key while typing n, then let go and type n again. información señor

Thanks you so much Bgrose, Carol, and Jim! Carol, Folklore is always supposed to be a bicolor but the camera fails to capture it because I don't take it under the optimum lighting. It is a brilliant candy-tangerine orange on one side and a lemon butter cream on the other side. It looks nothing like Disneyland. Disneyland is very floribunda-like but Folklore does consistently "spiral" and is a classic HT. Bgrose, yes, Lincoln is my favorite rose! but the next one in line will almost 98% be Ferdinand Pichard. Both roses have the most AMAZING FRAGRANCE!!! Great news people, Crescendo's color is deepening, and may revert to Gemini coral. I am so excited about this... But if I post new pics that would be breaking my promise about saving everything for the next Lumpy batter batch, haha! Which is another reason why I stopped myself from posting my photos of my Scottish heath and heather. I absolutely love those new plants but we will see if they can flourish in my soil which is very ill-suited for heather/heath...They need sandy and acidic and not clay.alkaline soil so I'm trying to feed them tea leaves for the acid... lol, Jim, I am having a ROTTEN DAY TODAY, lol, today of all days, and yes! I did try to clean out that mailbox, lol! Hope you got my email about how horrid of a day I'm having with Kansas IRS. They are refusing to send back the money they made a mistake on back in 2007, 2008, and 2009. Their error too! Missouri got it straight, but Kansas didn't!!! So frustrated!!!!

dedtired, I don't sleep much, LOL. Elery and I are married but we don't live together. I figure we can stay married forever that way, LOL. Actually, he has over 30 years with his employer and would take a big hit on his retirement if he retires before he's 59 1/2. I can't retire from the county until I'm 55, even though I have 31 years in here, so for 3 years or so we'll be keeping two places and going back and forth on weekends. Maintaining two homes is kind of a pain, both financially and physically, but I don't see an option. Jessica, the cherry crop in my part of Michigan was a total loss, as was most of it north of me. So was the plum crop, the apricots and most of the pears, as well as the Delicious apples. Later apples seem to have escaped that late frost. Southern Michigan escaped some of the freezing, so you can get Michigan cherries but not in my part of the state. In fact, Elery just brought 20 pounds of Bings with him this weekend and we made sweet cherry butter but he paid $2 a pound, twice what I usually pay. Good thing the blueberries are ripe and ready to pick! L, I made gooseberry jam for Dad, it's not my favorite by a long shot, but he likes it. I have two bushes of my own but they're only a couple of years old and just started to bear. Horrock's in Grand Rapids? I'm going to have to look for that, they have great bulk biscotti (yeah, I bought some, both cherry and orange pecan, LOL). Kathy, the lime chipotle marinade is good and contains an inordinate amount of lime juice. KatieC tested it and found it safe to can, I do half pints for 15 minutes in a hot water bath. Elery likes it as a marinade for lamb, and I can even eat lamb if it tastes more like lime and chipotle and less like....well.....lamb. Lime-Chipotle Sauce - Sunset Magazine Food processor: 1/2 cup honey 2 tablespoons minced canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce (WAAAY too much for me, the heat wus) 3 tablespoons brown mustard 1/2 cup lime juice 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro Season with salt and pepper Serve sauce as a marinade grilled meats, poultry, and fish if your guests don't get to it first with tortilla chips. Makes 1 1/2 cups. The Monkey Princess? I think it was a much bigger trauma for her mother and the rest of us than it was for her, LOL. She says it's "itchy" but it feels a lot better when I take her to Dairy Queen for ice cream. (grin) There are three baby river otters that play in the creek in the park behind Dairy Queen and they help make her feel better too. She is very disappointed that she can't get into the pool, the cast is not waterproof. She did mention that she could just sit on the side and MAYBE she'd fall in. I thought that was a bad idea. The doc says it can probably come off in a month. Still, she gets lots of attention and will only let people write on her cast if they write what she tells them to write, LOL. Ashley has volunteered to paint flowers and fairies on it, she has the painting supplies that Nancy gave her. I wonder if watercolor would stay on a cast and how long it would take to dry, or if I should just get some markers..... Annie
