http://www.taltree.org/about.lasso I was looking at a bike trail map for this county, trying to figure out some new places to go and I discovered that within the Union Bike loop, there is an arboretum on the map. I never knew it existed. Looking on line, I found the website and it looks like a place right up my alley! It would be great if I could bike all the way there, but I may have to work up

It wasn't long ago at all that I was wondering if my hellebore seeds would take 3 years to sprout.... http://girlgonegardening.blogspot.com/2007/12/seeds.html Well, they don't. Nope. I looked this very morning, and low and behold, not 1, but 2! seeds have sprouted on me. WOHOO!!!! I am so proud of myself. I guess soaking them first in

I wonder if any of those anti-believers live in the drought stricken areas of the US where they are running out of water and having to truck in water from other places?
