Sherry - is the seedling a perk of being Joe's neighbor? Sorry for the losses. I bet all the water after such a long drought is really playing havoc with the rhizomes.
We are going to have a small amount of snow tonight, followed by most of tomorrow day under freezing rain. Then snow is suppose to come back around on Saturday. Everyone is preparing for being without power around here. I will be avoiding the chaos of the grocery stores today, but wish I had some bread. May need to bake some tonight. Along with chicken and such to be eaten cold.
