Thom, I have sinned. I let a landscaper plant two new trees for me last fall as we needed a machine to move them and he did the 'volcano' thing. I have been waiting for them to leaf out and bloom to knock down the mulch. I was afraid to do it until now. I will rectify the sad situation this week. Promise.

GE1836, nice Jmaples.

More silliness, but with another good/bad story. These head planters were a gift in 1990 from my best friend and her new husband. She had put together some parcels of land back in1981, so we could both build houses next to each other when she was divorced and broke with two young kids. We paid the going retail price for the land to her, less any commission, so she could get her piece of land for free and then she sold 2 more pieces so she could build her house with those profits. Smart gal. A couple of years ago, she sold her house and moved in the summer to Me with her husband to be closer to Grandchildren. I did the interior layout for her new house and then the week they were moving into the house, her DH, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I miss her being next door and I totally miss him since he died. But I have them smiling down at me each day. The planters move to the GH in the winter and continue to make me happy with their goofy hair. She will be visiting this summer and I go see her in Me often. BFF. Patti
