We got back late on July 21. We ran into rain an hour out of Edmonton and it continued to rain all day Friday. It stopped raining Saturday and I've been doing garden catch up. Everything is slow and I still have to find the beans. I think the peas are missing in action. I brought back two lilies . A "By Myself" and a ditch (Canada, Orange) lily. This is the second year I brought back a ditch lily. I thought they were different than the eight clumps I already have :) We stopped in and saw marciaz3's garden -- a lovely example of a cottage garden.

Nice - I'm actually heading to Burlington today for a day trip. Some good nurseries in the area....LOL (Yes, I drive more than 2 hours away for a good nursery....) Enjoy your trip!

Hi Mocc...Oh yes, the Jetta has enough space to hold quite a good amount for it's size; I'll have the cubic feet I need. If I take the 4Runner I'll spend WAY too much, probably including my gas money to get back home! Jim; yes, I've heard that 'Stitch in Time' is a bit of a bust, but thanks for the heads-up. I'll try to have a conversation about it when I'm there and find out if they're selling plants that are actually living more than 2-3 years before they disappear. It IS a beauty when alive, isn't it? : ) Just curious, is 'Derriere' a sport of 'Heart and Soul' or is it a hybrid? I'm guessing sport? I'm one of those who is a fan of solid greenies; I don't yet have one, but I like it a lot. The second pic of it in The Hosta Library is hilarious. Well-played, sir! Regards, Don B. Westminster, CO.

What e-mail program were you using on MSN? If you used Outlook Express or Outlook everything will be the same... Well they'll have to change the settings so your computer will go to their servers to get your mail but sending, receiving and saving your mail will be exactly the same... You can save all your mail if you like, once it's on your computer it stays there until you delete it... As to them deleting mail after 2 months, they can only delete stuff that's on their servers, copies of your mail that they've already sent to you... They have excellent SPAM blockers and lately the service has been good... The only bad thing about RoadRunner mail is that you can only receive 10 megs of mail a day... Rita
