these are true hucklerries as i've had the pleasure of picking out the hard bony seeds from my teeth every time i eat huckleberry pancakes. the seeds are pernicious since they're smaller than kiwi but hard like.. well, like bones, and love to get caught in the center of the molars. usually only a toothpick gets them out. i'll look at the root system more carefully but from what i remember, they're not fibrous and soft. and if the best time to xplant is when they're dormant, i guess i'll have to wait until fall as they are starting to blossom now. would you know if planting in a planter until spring is best, or planting directly into the soil in the fall is best? i'm unsure (as you may be) exactly how much of the bush has to be xplanted for it to survive and thrive next year.

Glad you like the photos. The installation will be up until Oct 31st. We didn't make it all the way to the end as one of my DDs needed the loo.... I highly recommend a visit, but be sure to use bug spray first! I believe they offer informal guided tours at 10am on weekdays and 2pm on weekends. The artist has a website: www.wgarysmithdesign.com. Enjoy!

Linda, Your charms will go out tomorrow from the PO. I forgot to put the note in before I taped it up. Please send me you correct addy. I seem to have something different from what is on the evenlope. Sandra, You keep the charms I sent to you by mistake. Call it a Suprise treat. Last night I had a CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE IN A CUP. Has anyone done this. What a great idea if you don't want sweets sitting around the house. Didn't taste bad. Have a great day. gmom

Georgy, I suspect Enoch started with arsenic and then upgraded to a bullet. Today, I walked into the Wachovia bank and saw a sign on the door that said the name was being changed into "Wells Fargo" and I thought, "Oh brother..." I've learned so much more about this case TODAY. Thanks to two helpers, I now know that Addie's death certificate says that Diphtheria was the listed as the cause of death, and that was a highly communicable disease, and it would have provided the excuse that Enoch needed to bury her in the dark of night. And according to Kermeen's book, that's exactly what he did. That's what's almost chilling about this. The facts I'm learning match the "legend" that I've been reading about. I've also learned that there were two young servant girls living in the Fargo household according to the 1900 census, and they *must* have heard the gunshots. Enoch may have threatened and/or bribed them into silence, but once he got old and crispy, maybe that's when they felt free to start telling the horrid story. That's only a theory, but I do know that there were five women living in that house in 1900 when the census taker came by, and four of those women *must* have heard that gunshot. I also know that The Fargo Mansion was about a half mile from the cemetery where Addie was buried before dawn, and the doctor who was involved (mentioned above), lived about a half mile from The Fargo Mansion as well. In other words, logistically speaking, this would have all worked. Addie and Enoch Fargo on their wedding day: Addie and Enoch some time later: Kind of reminds me of those before meth/after meth photos. Sad, isn't it?
