You are in Spokane, TR? My paternal grandfather was born in Spangle, Washington which is just outside of Spokane or perhaps a suburb now. Makes me 1/4 American, I suppose. 😉 :mdrmdr: Awesome Arthur! Again, being born on Montreal and having at least 10 generations from Canada and tracing back to France! Guess I’m a Canuck genetically, but a citizen of Heaven in my heart! TR I've got lots of Canadian and American ancestors. In Canada, most of them immigrated to Ontario. In the US, quite a few are from the Carolinas. (Alexanders) My paternal great grandmother (Danish) and paternal great grandfather (Manx) met each other and got married in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, of all places. 😉 Most importantly, however, as you said, our citizenship is in heaven. (Where we'll have a honeymoon before settling back down here after the squatters are evicted. :yahoo: ) Philippians 3:20 New King James Version 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, I forgot to mention Louisiana is my temp home and it is a beautiful, blue skies and sunny but chilly day. My lemon tree is in full bloom and the tulip magnolia trees are beginning to bloom so take it from me, Spring is on the way. I am in the process of germinating lots of seeds inside. When they sprout, I have a table and a grow light until they are big enough to plant outside. Speaking of weather reports, how about George Carlin's "hippy dippy weatherman" stchick! TR Citrus flowers are soooooo fragrant! Good for you. haha, I don't think the weathermen knew what it was going to do....well grab your skis/sled/snowshoes and head on up! It may last a day or two anyway before it turns to freezing mud Indeed they are! Better than Calgon, you can shut yer eyes, take a deep breath, and you are as close to heaven as this earth can take you. The best I've done is a hardy Yuzu orange. It can grow outdoors here in the PNW if it is sheltered. I managed to keep it alive for nearly two years and harvest fruit from it. I got six oranges and gave them to my Japanese brother in Christ. (It is used in Japanese cooking.) It had nice fragrant flowers. The most amazingly fragrant flower I have grown is ginger. It flowers in August here and when the scent carries on a light evening breeze, it is like heaven. :heart:
