I decided to join the swap, if Marilyn wants to come, it would be better, but I should be able to drive to Potomac, with my leased car, which I can use my cell phone as GPS!

I already had a mishap, it was raining very very hard, I could not see anything and I had my Saltenia and my Mogochinchi (from Luzmary --a Bolivian restaurant about a mile away) in my car, so I thought, I should just go and not wait. I did not see that I was not on the part of curb for cars to go through, -but still where there is a curb--and I felt a big bump, sure enough, something was detached and was dragging on the ground from the middle of the car. I was fortunate enough that the gas line was still whole, otherwise it would be much more expensive... but even that, it cost me $350.00 for Stohlman to fix it.

I may still get lost.----So I would like to get 10 more or less of Bridal Crown. Otherwise I do not have space. I must get all the weeds out in the front yard, full with Bermuda Grass and Bindweed, even covering my irises---roses, worse than ever-----and my backyard full with English Ivy, all kinds of volunteers, especially black walnuts, honeysuckle bushes, and lots of lots of Porcelain vines. Full of them. I have cut a lot, but they are growing so fast, and I cannot work in the 30 degrees Celsius heat (I think nineties F). I killed the poison ivy that I found using herbicide and I saw them dead. Maybe I will kill the English ivy with that spray too, I have to read if they kill them too. All from my neighbors spreading to my yard. I also have been killing the trumpet vines on both side of the yard. I do not have a single tree in my yard, but lots of long branches from my neighbor trees.
