My mother died this afternoon. She was 91 . . . she was ready
for it . . . and she taught me everything I know about being a
curmudgeon.

Thanks to everyone for the kind and comforting words.

I have a Kurume azalea 'Mildred' (my mother's name) with lavender
flowers (her favorite herb/flower) that I'm going to be working
on over the next few years. It resembles nothing more than a
tall skinny tuning fork right now, but expect to see me asking
for virtuals and suggestions next spring some time.

Again, heartfelt thanks from me and from Jackie.
