Rabbits have taken the new marguerite plant, lovingly placed and tended by our Norwegian gardeners in hopes of a greener back yard. Thankfully other, less desirable, species were spared by the ravenous critters, the report concludes.
Virgil, Becky and their boys will make further inspections when they arrive in late March and extend their stay into early April, when Virgil will rush back to Eden Prairie to aid procrastinating family members with last-minute tax returns.Nancy has checked out the new Southwest decorating scheme created by Kathleen and the boys and says she loves it.
The couple will be hosting Nancy's mother, Terri, this weekend. She spends winters in Scottsdale.
"Big Thunder" Steve will be playing the doubles league next week with neighbor/life coach Leno Masolini. And then just for the heck of it, Steve signed up for the annual club singles tournament. Good luck from the family!
Steve says that it appears the long drought is ending and predicts rain this weekend--an 80 percent chance. Everything needs it.
"The rabbits ate the marguerite plant--but the other new plants appear to be surviving--although the weather has been quite cool so not as much growth on the older plants that Virg and I trimmed last month," he said.
We await a report and photo from Steve and Nancy of the quilt hanging in Mankato.
