Thanks for the boiler drain tip – I have the same arthritic hands issue and have been turning the faucet on and off with pliers – raced out to Home Depot and now, an hour later, it’s magic!

Wow, this is a VERY beautiful poem/story! I usually would have written about how mother nature would have reacted in the end, but this has a heart-warming touch to it and will let our children and love and Sprout as mother nature calls their name!

Hey John, some “puddles” of Iris would be pretty. The purple/white combos are wonderful. I’ve already cut some early white ones you planted up here for “tall foliage” behind the front view pool.
Also some special daylilies for later on…zinnias make great cutting flowers and they have made them mildew resistant. A knockout rose in that planter would be continual color through the summer. Oh, your continual blooming begonias when the pansies have to go would be continuous bloom and low maintenance, as you well know.
Happy Easter!!! Keep getting stronger.
