What color of mums were they, Carrie? BTW: Have you ever hear of a scented aster? (Kay has me on the hunt.) We still have quite a bit blooming despite cold snaps, but you have to like yellow. I think I will see what the nursery has in the way of ornamental cabbage to tone it down. It is a balmy 82 at the moment. From now until March, we ride a roller-coaster of temps. From a little below freezing to temps in the 70's. 82 is a bit unusual.
Preparing everything we can in advance for T-Day. Nadine received a beautiful fruit basket today and learned about California avocados. She kept saying she didn't see any avocado at the store, but her experience was limited to the pear-shaped ones. Our grocer carries some unusual tropical fruit and N. dismissed the round avocados as some rare tropical. Kay makes a salad of avocados, wild sunchokes and pecans for her vegetarian daughter that everyone has come to like and I guess that fits in with our indigenous food theme. Now that she realizes no one is going to bite her if the food doesn't HAVE to fit the indigenous theme, she is enjoying the cooking.
