Barney Lou -- The only thing I know that will keep cats out is dogs. But
dogs and gardens are natural enemies, as we all know. I have watched my
neighbors' cats stalk birds among my irises, but have never noticed them
doing any damage. They mince their way, whereas other animals tend to
lumber and stomp. I do want to say, however, that you have given your
daughter a beautiful name -- Amber! I hope that she has treasured it.
Elizabeth Hilliard (a variation of Hillyard) was married to my 3d
great-grandfather's brother, Joseph Crump. They went to Bourbon County,
Kentucky from New Kent County, Virginia in the 1790s. Their family went
on to Missouri with Daniel Boone, and some of the male descendants
received Hillyard as their given names. I'd be interested to know where
your Hillyards came from. E-mail me at jgcrump@erols.com.
Griff Crump, along the tidal Potomac near Mount Vernon, VA.
