Re: RE: time to vent!

Pam, I had a similar thing happen with a feak freeze.  Snapped off the top
half of my Eastern Dogwood.  All I could do was go out and give it a clean
cut below the break and hope for the best.  And years later, it is fine.
But at the time, I was so upset.  You can rail against nature, but you still
must accept it.  It's different when human beings are involved.
