Wowza, that was/is quite the weather event down here. We're flooded in, never lost power (very unusual, we almost always do) and are hunkered down for the next high tide. About 6:15 here Donn, so I'll give ya a shout as to what ours does. We did notice some recession during the "low tide" period. Weird calling it a low tide when it's lapping that close! Winds are still pretty strong, abt. 28 with gusts to 40. Should be settling down overnight as it moves NE. Batten down your hatches up there, we had 3.64 inches of rain on already saturated ground from the last 2 Nor'easters and it has NOWHERE to go. Erosion was the factor in southern Delaware. We got hammered and most of the dunes washed away. TWENTY-EIGHT FOOT WAVES!!!! I stayed up until 4am to see what the high tide would bring. It was amazing listening to the crashing and lashing happening just about 20 feet away from the house on the bay. Finally gave up my watch, got into bed fully clothed with my SHOES ON! I was prepared for flight! Took a few rides up and down the beach to check on neighbors and some homes for those who didn't get in before the roads flooded. Everyone is ok here, having mimosas, fire going and thankful we were safe. Take care up north- this is not one to take lightly. Will be posting some pics later. Stay warm and dry! Shore

Sarah, you are more than welcome to attend. I met my closest friend at the first swap I ever held at my house and found out that she lived only a mile from me. Swaps are a great way to meet other people who have similar intrests as yourself. As for the seeds, once you see my collection you probably won't think you went so overboard! The only difference is that I collect most of my seeds myself from plants in the wild, from my garden, and from friend's gardens (with their permission of coarse!). My friend's find my obsession with seed collecting very amusing! lol
