  Celia,
     
Thanks so much for the info!  I'll be careful to separate only the ones
easily, er, separated.  Also, I think our weather is almost alike...we have
those near freeze
days in January too, and occasionally in February, and when we least expect
it, in March..  and yet incredibly warm days/weeks too.  Talk about iris
