Re: Freeze Dried Iris!


Just watched the weather forcast and it didn't sound good!  We are currently
receiving the snow that has blanketed Kansas, this after two days of rain
totaling nearly 2 inches.  Our weather man said only 1 to 3 inches of the
white stuff but the temps are what I'm worried about.  The forcast is for
day time temps to be in the upper 30's and night time temps in the upper
20's....all this for the next 6 days!  Lloyd, Linda this may be heading your
way!
