Mousam' which was collected at the Cat Mousam exit of
the Maine Turnpike. Not very exciting but that is all
I could come up with. :(

1949) gave us FRANCONIA which is named for the notch
in the White Mountains of NH where the nature-formed
rocky profile of the "Old Man of the Mountains" is
located The Old Man is on the license plates of NH.
OK - so I am reaching. If I ever succeed in getting anything
worthy of introduction, I will make sure that it includes
NH in its name. My garden is called Granite Gardens for the
Granite State = New Hampshire.
Cheers from below zero in Northern New Hampshire. Brrrr.
