Very beautiful flowers, Silverkelt. Your garden is colorful and interesting and very cottagey. I love the Double Gold Rudbeckia too. We grew Clarkias in California, but haven't ever tried them here. I'd have to order them, as they are not sold here in any nursery I've been to anyway. I have ONE plant of Irish Eyes this year. One of my dogs dug up all of my seedlings I planted last year but the one. I put a wrought iron skirt around it and is doing fine and blooming this year. I shouldn't have planted them where I did. I knew he dug in there. Going to move her around to the back where I grew them before. She is one of my faves too. Such BIG flowers and the green center cones are so different. (I love greens). I hope my Heritage rose is that lovely when it grows up. I grew it from a cutting that 'plantmaven' sent me two years ago. And what fragrance! You could never post too many pictures as far as I am concerned. I LOVE to see pictures! Maine is such a beautiful part of this country. The forest at the back of your flowers with your path going back that way is very picturesque. Lucky you to have that as your background. I bet you see a lot of wildlife. Thanks for sharing with us. Do it again, and soon! ~Annie

ttodd, thank you for posting that - it gives me hope for our world and justice system in particular. Not everything is a matter of right/wrong. My FIL was a Federal Court judge here in Canada for years and tried hard to change the system, but had a very difficult time. Countryfarm, I'm bettin there won't be one day goes by that you don't appreciate that wonderful home.

Oh, Kimberly, that's absolutely wonderful news!!! Now when all the financing prayers are answered also, that will be even better! Your name is still on a sticky-note on my monitor . . . I won't take it down till all is in place, including financing!! I'm guessing you're not close enough to Nashville for me to come to your party . . . darn! Arlene

Rob, my brother suffered from the very same thing for years. He had trouble swallowing (there were many trips to ER to have food cleared) and had his esophogus stretched a few times, but it didn't last long. He also had breathing issues. He learned last year his nasal cavity was FILLED with polyps and he would need surgery, as he struggled to breathe, was awake all night, and sucking on his asthma inhaler non-stop. He went on Dupixent and within two months, his polyps are completely gone (no longer needs surgery for them), hasn't had any EoE issues, nor has he needed to use his inhaler. He is able to sleep and run again and said he feels like a new person. It's been a miracle drug for him! I hope you find the same relief!
