Libby, It's the secret society nature of these robins that bothers
me. Also the withholding of information about Siberian irises. eg
If I don't belong to this robin I don't get some information about
Siberians. I would like it a lot better if the information was
available to the List and those not interested can press the delete
key. That's saved a lot of Iris-L people irritation with some
discussions. Otherwise I have to get a separate set of messages
for Siberians. BTW why not have a robin-thread about JI's before
John and Bob retire (go on digest mode?) for the summer? I picked
up a lot of information last summer on an unbelievable number of
subjects. I wouldn't have missed ANY of Clarence's additions to any
discussion including his poetry.

The thing I like best in this oncoming spring is the light in the
morning. When I sit down at the computer at 6 AM I can see the
whole backyard. It has 6" of snow but i know spring is coming.
Robins have arrived today.
