  2. Awesome! Thanks for all the clarifications and links on the last thread!!! I'm going to have a Dean party!

    Hey, how about a Dean Party to go up against the other political parties?

    As for lashing one's giraffe to a telephone pole in Vermont, I suspect that concern is not on the books here, it being that there has likely never been a giraffe in Vermont (leastwise one owned by a Vermonter), and as telephone poles have only been in large supply in recent generations.

    However, we do have a camel, though I've never seen it lashed to a telephone pole, so it seems that doing so could be illegal.

    1. A Dean Party sounds like an excellent idear.

      The party for thoughtful, intelligent people

    But actually, as far as the interwebs go, it's much more an issue for Atlanta, Georgia. . . .

    1. Ah, Susan, that's the view from the Day Lily Farm. I was there in the rain to pick them out, and will return tomorrow to pick them up, now that they have all been dug up for me. The colours are amazing! Yellow, Red, Black Cherry, Peach and more!

    2. Day lilies are very reliable flowers here; we have quite a few, both the kinds that keep their leaves year round and those that die back. There are also double varieties.

    3. Miyoko tried hibiscus on the south side of our house, and they are doing marvellously!

      On another note, they say the El Nino that was shaping up is pooping out. That makes it more likely we will have another dry winter.
