Lin so funny and interesting stories!! Glad you were ok!! I do feel for the people in the Carolinas that were effected. Here in Seattle we had all these news reports of a bad storm coming - 2 actually separated by a day or so. But luckily when the weather front hit the land instead of dispersing like it normally would, which would have cause lots of heavy storm activity, it stayed in a tight band and caused really bad conditions for a much smaller area, which is good for all of us outside that area and terrible for the people in the storms path.
Anyway I also hope people are ok with the storms!
I love that with plants that die back and suddenly they are there again! I have one that I can't remember the name, it dies back after blooming but very often reseeds itself and I'll stumble upon it in another place in the yard!
