Hello Everyone, New to this perennial forum and I like this thread. I have re-arranged the nhbabs's list alphabetically (no spells checked).

LOL Basil---My command of people names is about as good as my command of Latin names (or even common names) for plants (which Lynne insists that "since we've been married almost a year, it's time you started learning them".) I think my days of getting by with--- "Oh, that pink plant, that blue bush, the one with orange clusters...etc." are gone forever. *Heavy Sigh* If people would like to add their own names/comments, though... Like....That's me, "_____" to the right of John, or next to the potato salad, or in the pink top, or that's my kid on the scooter/swing... etc...feel free to, or drop an email and maybe we can somehow label some of the best gardeners in NC

My husband was in michigan this week and that was one of the flights he thought about taking on thursday night. He flies a lot and it just hit close to home. Clarence is not far from where we live. We are a little more out in the country. Big sigh of relief. When the news came on at 10pm they announced at the end of the broadcast that a plane had crashed by the airport, but they didn't know anything yet. By the time the 11pm news came on, it was not until after the weather that their news crews made it to the neighborhood and they announced it was a commercial plane. WIVB broadcast without commercial break until I went to bed at 2am. When my husband called to say he was alright i was so grateful. (wipes tears and sniffles) Fran, Could i have the blanket flower, please? BTW, DS#3 watered my keyboard once, its still a little iffy. We set it in from of the blower on the woodstove for a week. Just FYI those of you sowing in the keys LOL! Thank all of you for the prayers. Families here are esp. close knit and things like this are difficult for anyone. Praying for your FIL, too Nichol.
