Incredibly beautiful Jim, especially that tenacious seedling coming through the stump.

Ah...big mamas.
Reminds me I still haven't planted mine.
IMO rostratas are at the top of the beauty list.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
