Al, Tell Jewel congratulations on the caption contest, beautiful dog in the picture. That means hail down here. Black rolling clouds with a greenish hue would send us looking for a windowless room.

Yesterdays High was 59F, The greenish sky is just some thing to oooHHHHHH and AAAAAAAWWWWWW over as we don't see the sky like that often. Jewel got her eye checked yesterday and isn't healing so we took her this morning for an operation. She gave us that sad look when we were leaving. Artic Star Dianthus. :-D Al
I hope the op does the trick for Jewel Al. What a lovely dianthus - the name certainly suits it. :-D It's a lovrly mild day here today so let's hope the rain stays away.

New Queen line 2 pound honey jar label. Made from one of Kares pictures. :-D Al

http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1E1-saxifrag.html http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9065975/saxifrage Al, it would appear that Saxifrage is the common name. The britannica article does also call it aka Rockfoil There is also a Saxifrage Society. http://www.saxifraga.org/default.asp
8:18 3-27-07 56F, feels like 55F, humidity 83%, wind W @ 5MPH. Thanks for the plant name, although it isn't ringing any bells with me. Guess I really lost this one . Yesterdays high 81F. Set record high temps many places in Michigan. Even the dogs didn't want to be outside. Jacobs Ladder. :-D Al
8:19am 3-28-07 40F, feels like 32F, humidity 70%, wind ENE @ 15MPH Yesterdays high 82F Saw my first butterfly of the year. Dogs all stayed inside where it was some cooler. Hope this isn't a sign of a hot humid summer. Looked at the daffys and they are up good and will bloom in just days if it stays this warm. Lilacs has huge buds too. Kare and I did some shopping yesterday and saw a forcynthy shrub in a south east corner of a house and garage that is all yellow so ready to bloom fully. Trillium :-D Al
