Re: Ike

I don't think there will be much in the way of fall color here until mid October. I will be baby sitting grandchildren in Colorado Oct 9 - 16. Fall color in this area can range from very nice to nothing, so probably better to come here for other sights and if there is color, it's a bonus. We are 17 miles from Hannibal, MO, so there are things to see there, too. Let me know as your plans develop.

Cathy,
I may just have to come by myself. I was hoping my husband could come too.... 
he would love it as much as I would... well almost as much.
My brother that lives in Houston called tonight...he won't have electricity for awhile so he is thinking of taking a cycle trip up. I think he might come 
this next week so maybe after he goes back I can give you a call.
Thank you for offering. I just looked up the website and ask for a travel package from the convention center. How is your fall color coming along? I am thinking in the next 2 or 3 weeks it might be really great. What do you 
think?

Tricia, I would love to meet you show you around. When you decide on a
time frame, let me know. Weekends might be a little dicey (though I'm
sure we could manage one), as DH has Rams tickets for some of them,
but since I am happily retired, we could work out a weekday or two (I
have guest bedrooms.).

Cathy,
Wow!  That sounds fantastic, the Hazelnut tree, I mean. What a great
deal.

How was the MG conference?

I am still in Springfield, Ill and want to drive over some weekend
to see your
beautiful town.  I keep hearing lots of great things about Quincy.
We drove to Carbondale last Friday then over to Cape Girardeau and
back to St.
Louis Saturday afternoon.  We had a great fast trip just looking at
all the
places we used to live and play with our son when we lived in Cape.
My niece
lives in St. Louis so we ended a great trip with family then drove
back here
late.
We are just starting to have some really great weather.  Today I saw
the start
of some great fall color.  The dogwoods, Japanese maples, burning
bushes,
sweetspire shrubs and a few other trees are starting to really show
some
color.

Drove home from the Master Gardener Conference in the Chicago suburb
of Lombard on Saturday, the 13th. Very stressful with the inevitable
highway construction, and rain coming down in sheets. got home, only
to head off with DH to the Rams game in St Louis, where we got
remnants of Ike on Sunday. Fortunately, he was a fast mover, out of
the area by afternoon. The week ahead looks good. Excellent, because
one of the nurseries we toured in the Chicago area offered us anything 
we bought at wholesale.... 60.5% off!  I came home with an American
Hazelnut, priced around $50.00, for a bit over $18.00!

Ithink it is going to cause more wide spread damage instead of
intenser (is
that a word?) smaller area.

In any case, my heart goes out to those effected.

BTW, they are predicting 4 inches of rain here due to Ike by
Sunday... amazing
it will still have that much moisture left by the time it gets to
northern
Illinois....

Just checked the Southern Mississippi Valley Sector radar. The eye,
which is huge, is right off Galveston. Never saw one with an eye this 
big before--don't know what that portends, either, but it surely

is

large.
