Steve--both your rain and warm temps. are HERE, in upstate NY!  It is
bizarre--54 degrees F. here today at 11:00 am.  We broke a temp. record
yesterday, and will probably do so again today.  The 2 feet of snow we got
after Christmas has melted in a rush of flooding--minor, so far--but it DID
rain (not snow!) last night and more is predicted for the next few days.  

Yesterday I was out in a feeble attempt at replacing new and frreshly
replanted rhizomes that were heaved completely out of the ground--and the
blasted deer have been EATING, not sampling, them, also.  Their absolute
favorite seemed to be the IB, INVASION IN PINK.  Every cotton-pickin'
rhizome was munched to the ground.  And nothing was spat back out--I have
seen deer do that, but never before have I seen them deliberately eat clump
after clump of bearded irises!

Let's trade residences!     :-)
