Well, it looks like today is the day the grass will turn brown. We're
expecting temp. of 100 degrees F. and a 15 mile-per-hour north wind. The
mystery tree I described a couple weeks ago turned out to be Ulmus alata,
winged elm, native to eastern N. America. Must have been brought by the
homesteaders.
The garden tour is two weeks from today, and the whole family must be out of
town for the week prior to the event. The children are feeling abused,
forced to do slave labor on the weekend. The adults are feeling anxious and
crabby.
