HI Dollie...
Yes.. we got the hurricane this time.. they said ya'll needed a break.. so we stepped up.. Lucly in hit in Coney Island.. so we were about 10 miles to the left of it.. slightly milder on the left side.. and it had decreased to just gusts of 60 MPH.. .. NYC sits tucked into the coast so we're often passed by.. but ths one ran right up that way.. to go on up into New England...with the rain it couldn't dump all on us... but it did try...
This weekend here will be about as paralitc for us.. but we'll get through ths also.. they are unveilng the memorial garden to the famlies first.. among a bushell of other actvities... the garden is amazing... along with two square fountains... about an acre each... each sitting in the footprint of one of the two towers. around the edges of these twoo squares.. the water cascades down into the . footprint... around this is a forest of 400 trees.. each grown out with gigantic root balls sitting in containers... mcro chips n each tree control the irrigation for each of them on an individual basis.. many are swamp oaks.. so I guess they are covered for overwatering.. also..
Got to catch on my blooming photos.. I'm a week behind there... some great other flowers going on also...
Plumeria are real slow this year..to flower here.. but soon maybe...
and I've been looking for a photo I'd made.. with a lovely plumie inflo and the background of the World Trade Towers.... it was on the opening page to one of the plumie sites after 2001.. but it's nowhere I can find it...
did you ever get to make your foam project there ...
Did the last storm give you a bunch of rain...
well all the best there...
Gordon
