I can only plead that as my excuse too - I'm a bit behind on my correspondence.

Well, the last few blooms in my garden are on: Spring Tidings, Gold Galore,
Mulled Wine, Fall Fiesta, and Hostess Royale. I think that any remaining
blooms will be fried by the 100+ F temperatures we are currently
experiencing and which are expected to continue for several days.
But when not watering the garden, I guess I'll be reading the AIS bulletin
which arrived today!
I hope things aren't too chilly for you all in the northern hemisphere.
Happy Thanksgiving
