Well I thought I was going to let it all go as the last winter was impossible for me to cope with and age and arthritis are catching up with me. Not to mention trying to get my high functioning autistic son into an independent apartment before he ends up taking care of me. (He asked me who would take care of his parents if he moved out__we are all functioning fine-but I do wish he would not phone me at 10 pm because there is a centipede on his apartment wall-he is obsessed with bugs). I think I was asking Maurice questions in 2008 but that was in another forum and another country-can't absorb much now or then but then I was a freshman biology major in 1955-and switched to English Lit after three years. No, I haven't the faintest reason why.Got thru the winter because a kind neighbor drove up with a tractor and scooped my driveway out-just showed up out of nowhere-what can you say when people do things like that?? Well I'm rambling but It's been a tiring Spring. WE were infested with deer mice then shrews that killed the mice then deer ticks so thick I couldn't even walk in the yard then I got a fever so antibiotics for two weeks. Tests negative but who knows. Could have just been the flu--or not. Then the daylilies started blooming and I found a few seedlings I can't even remember planting. So decked out in permethrin sprayed shoes, socks, pants, shirt, Repel on arms and legs I started wandering in my woods again. No bites, can sit in the woods and not even get a skeeter bite and why didn't I do this sooner as it is not much trouble and much more comfortable and the woods are heaven with no bites!Even the swamp! Rambling, maybe I should blog? The thing is, I found some red and yellow eyed seedlings and that is how goals sort of roll over from results. Now I can perhaps think of crosses for more early colors using these and maybe buying a plant or two. Tracked down the old camera and am going to try to see if I can post a couple of new photos. (Computer damaged by a scam and my stupidly falling for it a week ago-probably another subject that needs talk, but I still feel too angry and stupid.) So I'll see if I can still post photos even tho they don't show in pictures. The just found early colored seedlings.
