Hi Jeff and Carolyn;
Thanks for your pronunciation, and a belated thank you for the tour of
your garden. We really enjoyed our little stop-over. For those of you on
the list, when Jeff says "this is the place" by golly, he is not
kidding!! A lovely drive to a lovely spot where the Walters have a
lovely garden. Thanks again.
Nancy Silverberg, Molalla, OR where I wish my iris beds were as clean as
yours!!
