Oh Betty, that is an awful memory! We've had 2 earthquakes here in the last year that I've felt, but they were pretty minor. I really think your earthquakes are a worse hazard than our hail and tornadoes, because we can take shelter and we're fine. Hurricanes and floods, while more devastating, at least give some warning. I still get the occasional nightmare from the bad tornado we had in 1991, usually brought on by Weather Channel running the show about that tornado outbreak.
Today is a warm and sunny day. I have a few deep ice drifts left in the shade, and no damage on the car, so it all seems like a bad dream.
The ground is so soft and moist that I was able to dig out a huge dead rose this morning. Is there a documented reason not to plant a new rose where one died of rose rosette? Isn't the disease spread by mites?
