Thanks, Tom -- and everyone. Your concern is very much appreciated.
In the meantime, MandaPanda and I are holding down the fort. And trying, and failing, to keep up with the mowing. And the weeds. I've promised to ship Irises out to several people and I haven't even gotten started on that project. Apologies to those people waiting -- I WILL get to it.
Regarding those ticks -- and Lyme disease -- people, please Google Godzilla machines and/or microelectricity in treating health issues. You don't need to fear Lyme -- you can prevent it and/or treat it yourself. I'm proof of that. I learned about it when I went to my chiropractor with seventeen tick bites, four of which had a Lyme rash -- and he treated every bite with his Electro-Stim machine. That was fifteen years ago, and I've never developed the disease.
Mika -- have a great trip and a wonderful time. Safe travels!!
