RJ I'm so sorry about the snow storms you got hit with! I saw it on TV. My boys and friends got hit bad by the storms (straight line winds) day before in Alabama. Blew huge poplar inches from oldest son's new house. They live next to granny and paw paws and it blew glass out of storm door, part of roof off 2 story hay barn (they have cattle, that's a disaster), and blew the big oak down, lucky it missed their house:). Dil's mom was running for her basement when it blew out front windows on their brick 2story and sent porch ceiling fans flying through window and across the living room floor! Our friends woods around home were destroyed all around and it threw the trampoline somewhere, no power, roads blocked, kids on the roads in buses had to turn around and wait forever. Thank goodness no one hurt! Still can't get my mother in lovely, but had oldest son go over and her and all her farm critters okay:). Makes me pretty glad we live down here on coast, rarely have tiny tornado and I will be the first to evacuate me, dh, dear old dad and critters in case of hurricane. At least we know they are coming. In Alabama it was 'take cover', now it's 'evacuate'! Also, RJ did your lemon balm get killed back?
Has anyone voted on the invasives? My bird vote was for starling. But I wish I had a picture of a catbird, they roll other birds eggs out and lay their own for the songbird to hatch and raise! Awful! Also, I have a picture of dollar weed and rolly Pollies ready for next year! The dollar weed runs under flowers and you have to dig everything up to get those runners and then the birds spread it again-hmphf! The Rollies are cute but just munch randomly and reproduce here by the thousands!
Picture of barn roofing on ground, it was everywhere, paw paw waving through his now seriously 'Full View-open air' door, son and dil's pretty poplar laid out:( and one of that peaty dollar weed and cute but destructive Rollie's:)
