I had to look it up as well, Lilo and it was heart-breaking. One history site stated the village began in 1860. I rolled my eyes because it's obvious it existed long before that, but wasn't considered an entity until it incorported under a legal statute native peoples had no need to use. The source we use as water for our household was once known by early settlers as "three mile spring". I assume it was called that because we are located exactly three miles from the old National Road, the route settlers used as they passed through our state westward. Old history books recollect that the spring was in use by local bands of Indians and the area directly north of us along the river routes were the temporary camping sites of hunter-gatherer tribes. There were many indigenous bands in and around our county, but skirmishes were mostly individual battles between groups and settlers and one county history book relates that by 1812, most of the original peoples just silently slid into the forests and disappeared as the Europeans transplanted them. It wasn't so in other parts of the state further west where Tecumseh allied great numbers of friendly and rival tribes alike to make one last concerted effort at holding the grounds granted them by treaties promised but never kept. There are great pockets of Indian people who never were rounded up and made to move, thanks to the cover of one of the greatest forest stands on earth. They did exactly what so many Scots-Irish settlers did and just disappeared into the hills and forests asking merely to be 'left alone'. In our early censuses, there wasn't even a catagory to list Indian peoples. One was either black or white, so many Indians who refused to be relocated suddenly became either black or white. We have several recognised melungeon settlements nearby and it's been common knowledge since their inception. The sad part being, the loss of tribal identity or affiliation. I know in researching my own ancestry that it's not so easy to identify with any particular tribe in existance today, because the Indians were forced through their circumstances to meld and divide and blend in their own world to survive. I know that one family line some would consider Cherokee were probably really southern Iroquois, even though my mother relates her maternal grandfather maintained contact with relatives living in the Cherokee community in Oklahoma. Throw in a confirmed history of a Shawnee connection to another family line and a supposed Flat-Head connection in another. It's really not too hard to assume if you have any family lines on this continent dating to the day of the violation of the treaties of Westward expansion you may assume a lot of Americans today have connections with the early people they don't even know exist.

Another happy glass table person. We had a wonderful MCM wood set for years, but when I saw a glass top table (C&B--but ours is frosted underneath, which I wouldn't recommend--etched is same effect, much more stable/cleanable), I knew I wanted that instead. We got it from c's list, brought it home, and the light shining through it to the floor instantly lightened and brightened the room to an extent I had never suspected. I love it and won't go back to wood. One feature wood has that glass won't is that you can get leaves with wood to expand the table as needed. But that said, there is also a compromise that would give you the best of both worlds from an aesthetic pov: a wood-base glass-top table! C&B has some, round even, and I'm sure other places do too. The one I link below I don't like as much as my rectangular table because the center ring makes it look too busy for me, but on the other hand the halo is kind of cool. I just wish it were made in either Canada or the US...maybe you can find one that is. Here is a link that might be useful: just one example

I'd have to see a picture to know what you really have, but I'm pretty sure it's not a virus of any sort. Dark colors are particularly susceptible to Thrips damage. Not much you can do about them as they are everywhere. Just hope they move on and the next blooms are undamaged.......There are daylilies that have broken colors like paint splotches. I can't remember the name of it but The hybridizer Devito has one I think. She gets lots of money for it. So no, don't throw anything away just yet............Maryl

LOL okay now that I have read your whole post, I will also add that one of my oldest friends worked for C&J Katz for many years. Who knew I would connect with this post on so many levels? Looking at the pics of their Truro house makes me want to redo my beach house … I love the wacky fixture. And this whole situation. But on to sunrooms. I found it curious that so many of the ”sunrooms” featured in that article are actually porches. For example: I liked most of them, actually, whatever you want to call them, except that this made me throw up a little in my mouth. Why is the coffee table pushed right up against the loveseat? And the curtains…eww. We have a sunroom at our beach house that is long and narrow, sort of like this one — and we have a daybed like this at one end. At the opposite end is a large bookcase, so it is a nice reading spot especially in the winter. Seeing all these pics makes me want to focus on that room this summer and prettify it more.
