 great for gardeners--what kinds of things would we *really* love to
 receive? >>

Carol, I want:

A dump truck load of finished compost, aged manure, peat moss, or wood
chips--any or all!

A gift certificate for Joe Pye Weed's Garden which will allow me to get their
new introductions for the next 3 years!

A month off from all other responsibilities, to spend camped out in Mann
Library at Cornell U.,  in the iris book section! 

A squad of iris folks, eager to take on officer and committee chair positions
to resuscitate our floundering local club!  (Maybe you better send this one
first, the situation is unfortunately, quite critical!)

A pleasant day during peak bloom in my garden to actually wander around and
LOOK at the flowers! 

I think that'll hold me for awhile ... TIA !!!
