@in2art, we missed you. Hope there was not a mis-connect. We all agreed that we should try to do this more often, so perhaps next time...
On that note, Christianson's Nursery up in the Skagit valley is hosting a garden tour of La Conner Flats Garden next weekend that I may go to - it is from 1-2 on Saturday March 19. No charge. Warning - tulip traffic may be a bit congested, everything is early this year.
