Re: shopping

They're a real deep blue, pretty, like dark sapphires.  I'm always
delighted when the birds leave me a few to admire.  Small one started
blooming yesterday, big one should very soon.  Blasted Winterthur
viburnum and the blackhaw still haven't bloomed yet.   Can't imagine
why.  They're gorgeous and healthy otherwise.  The blackhaw has grown
about 18" since March.
