Hi Rita--
I'm looking forward to planting some reds and blacks ths spirng if the
snow ever goes away. I'm making lists from everyone who's responded.
Picking the right ones will be fun. If you ever get to my neighborhood,
email me beforehand. It would be fun to meet you. Not that syracuse is
around the corner.
