Sounds like you have the situation covered my friend. That's awesome.
With everyone's help I do. Now to choose the most beneficial probes. No way was I putting new fish in that tank without a safety plan.

We have been getting some much needed rain. And lots of plants are growing. My large iris plants are developing flower buds. Even noticed several hibiscus are breaking ground.

Say it isn't so? It was one of my favorites!

I have a dooms day vault of seeds. Can I buy admittance with some?

Early clematis. This one has only been in my yard for 2 years. Still a baby
I love clematis flowers! I had some really pretty ones but the dogs killed them. I need to get some more and plant them where they would be safe from the dogs.

He's going to church. Sadly I think I have now gotten the stomach bug he had last week so I won't be able to go.
So sorry, get well Amanda!
