RE: Could have been worse

I think by now everything that is going to live has shown up. My opuntia
cactus still looks way bad, but it is alive. Some of the salvias are
resprouting near the roots. I lost a lot in the Big Freeze, but at least we
didn't have a second Big Freeze in the middle of spring like a lot of you
mid-westerners did.

Oh Cyndi, Ouch!  Hope you are feeling better today?  Glad nothing was
broken.  Those body parts just let us know when gravity was not kind.  Glad
to hear you have things coming up.  I have been watching and several things
do not yet show signs of life?  I just hope the second hit of cold/snow did
not kill them.
Speedy recovery!
