Bonnie - will you be able to after your last treatment?   Sure hope so!   I
wish I were closer, I'd weed the worst of 'em out until you get the green
light from the doc.  hope it is very soon, because I understand your
frustration!

OH - and my hummers ARE back - saw one at the Wild Thing salvias just 20
mins ago!   I just went out in the rain and put up 3 feeders, will do the
rest as soon as I get a break between rain bands.  WOO HOO.
