AutumnShe didn't always love this season
she used to love spring
A time where flowers bloomed.
and skies were never dull.
And then, she changed,
just like the Season.
She fell in love with autumn.
the time right before winter,
right before it all dies
everything that grew in spring
dies in winter.
A time where day skies resembled fire
and the leaves were crisp
so full of life but...so full of death
Trees began to loose theirs leaves
she thought of it as a beautiful thing.
It was so easy for them to just,
replace their leaves, she somewhat envied them.
So, autumn.
She loved Autumn.
Not spring or winter but
the in between.
N/AI want to show the world
how blind it could be.
Everything but the fire
down to my sick fantasies
I want to show the world
how horrible it really is
nothing but homicide
or my beautiful suicide.
I want the people to know
that life is merely fragile
nothing ever stays
not even for the damsel.
I want the people to know
that they are very selfish
They never really care
until you're truly gone.
all i wanted were answers
answers no one seemed to have.
No one at all,
not even mom and dad.
So if you happen to find
the soul that is mine.
Please look back and realize
that I never had enough time.
I looked and looked but never found
The item in which you hold.
You could say I was lying or
It's the truth in which no one told.
LiarsThe show has begun
Oh lord! i've forgotten my smile
Will the crowd look upon me and frown?
Will they take away my crown..
For I'm the queen of the broken
Saints & sinners look the same to me.
Now they have started a riot,
a riot upon my town.
They dragged me off the stage
and took away my crown...
Oh dear! oh Dear! the ending is near
They're taking me to the place
all the liars disappear.
They ripped me limb by limb
And stabbed me with a knife,
little did they know
that i was still alive...
Burning me at the stakes
while sorrow fills my eyes.
The cut off my tongue,
I didn't have time to cry.
They threw me down a hole
even though I wasn't Alice.
But maybe, it was supposed to be
such a sad and awful ending for me.
PoemI crashed into love,
no, I did not fall.
I wasn't ready, I slipped into it.
Such as an ice skater,
graceful and beautiful,
until it falls.
You don't see it coming; your heart stops
Terrified and confused,
what used to be graceful
wasn't so graceful anymore.
Now, you're waiting for her to mess up again.
You realize, she let herself get carried away
with the beauty
it overwhelmed her.
One mistake.
One mistake and it's over.
One mistake and, the heart stops.
Her paintingAlone in a room she was,
She couldn't figure out who cared and
who was just curious.
Then anger filled her
she grabbed her paintbrush and painted
the strokes were thick and dark;
she always painted like this.
Then, sorrow consumed her.
She grabbed her pencil and drew the outline
although it was a small line, it meant a lot
Then, numb.
She couldn't control the blade this time.
She needed to finish the picture.
on her body.
On her canvas.
Her painting was complete but,
there was no variety in colour, just
Only she could see the picture but,
that's how it always was.
Only she understood it's meaning because,
no one else knew her.

"Everything about this card is perfect from what it says to the style and set up. The only thing I wished was that you could turn the photo so that it was going horizontal. Over all great card and very cute. The quality of the card is extremely nice and just looked beautiful. We received so many complements."
"We just sent out our Birth Announcements and we are very happy with them. Tiny Prints was easy to use and we were very pleased with the quality and design of the cards. I would recommend."
"The card as a whole is beautiful with rich colors printed on thick, high-quality cardstock. However, my pictures came out much darker than they previewed, so some lighting effects in the photos were lost. I'm not sure if they would've looked better on photo paper instead."
"This design was adorable to begin with, but the personalization made it even better. I was able to change font sizes to make the announcement exactly the way I wanted. The paper is a very nice weight and texture and the photo print quality was great! Everyone who has received one so far loved the infographic style and the colors!"
"I looked at hundreds of different birth announcements and just fell in love with this one. It is super cute and not too large. We selected the red and I like the color. I love that we could add a few photos to the back as well. Shipping was super fast."

Annie is a beautiful 3 year old, spayed dog that currently lives at the animal shelter in Texarkana. She is very calm and mild-mannered. Annie is house trained and walks great on a leash.
Annie was adopted recently but the manager of the apartment complex mistook her for a pitt and said she couldn't stay.
Annie is great with kids. The heart-broken man that had to return her to the shelter said that his small child climbed all over Annie and she was great.
I just came across this great video and thought I would share it with you. The dog plays piano and sings, pretty well. I wonder how long it took the owner to train the dog, or if he just picked it up
Madeline is a fabulous 1 year old mixed breed dog. She weighs 30 pounds so she is a perfect size: not too big, not too small. She loves to play ball as you can see in the video below.

The West Central Clean Energy Resource Team (WC CERT) and The Minnesota Project presented an educational program on how to pursue funding to support an LED lighting retrofit project on Thursday, March 13, 2014 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Life Center Auditorium of MinnWest Technology Campus in Willmar. Overview: Attendees learned about LED lighting for turkey barns, heard candid farmer feedback on this type of retrofit, and learned about utility and federal funding options to help finance LED lighting retrofits in turkey barns. We owe a special thanks to our guest speakers from Kandiyohi Power Cooperative, USDA Rural Development, and USDA Natural Resources Conservation District. Who attended? Out of the 60 folks who attended the event, a third were poultry farmers and the remainder included utility representatives, lighting specialists, electricians and other energy service...

Minnesota consumed a total of 1,979 trillion Btus of energy in 2008. Of this, Minnesota industry consumed approximately 33% or 615 trillion Btus, including 30,000 gigawatt hours of electricity and 100 million MCF of natural gas to deliver products and services. These use levels motivated recommendations for energy efficient technologies and practices aimed at meeting target reductions established by state and federal policy. Adoption of these recommendations would also provide significant cost savings to businesses. To address energy conservation, the Minnesota legislature passed the Next Generation Energy Act of 2007, which calls for all utilities in Minnesota to achieve an energy savings goal of 1.5% of gross annual retail energy sales. In addition, the National Energy Policy Act of 2005 was signed to encourage industry to reduce energy intensity by 2.5% each year between 2007 and...

Fifteen research and development grant projects that will ultimately help Minnesota consumers and businesses save energy, cut energy bills, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions were announced recently by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources. The grants, totaling nearly $3.3 million, are funded by the Conservation Applied Research and Development (CARD) Grant Program and administered by staff of Commerce's Conservation Improvement Program. The CARD Grant Program was created to help achieve the state energy conservation goal as established by the Next Generation Energy Act of 2007. The Act established an energy conservation policy "to achieve annual energy savings equal to 1.5 percent of annual retail energy sales of electricity and natural gas" directly through utility conservation improvement programs and indirectly through energy codes, education, market...

Have you ever seen the "icicle show" at the Federated Church in Morris, Minnesota? The icicles occurred following roof snowmelt and subsequent freezing and grew to be as long as 6 feet hanging from the edge of the roof (see picture). Some of these icicles were massive and if they broke off and hit you, it could've been a disaster. Well, the icicles are gone for good. The icicles were the visible symbol of a major heat loss problem that has plagued the church for the last 42 years. The structure was showing physical damage and interior water spots resulting from heat loss caused by the complex roof lines of the church, the lack of ventilation, and poorly or non-insulated thermal boundaries. The architect apparently was not familiar with West Central Minnesota winters, and engineering design and construction did not allow for simple addition...

It seems like every year brings a new normal to the U.S. solar industry. The industry is dynamic, full of business innovation, and often hard to predict. However, two general trends have emerged over the past few years: We consistently outperform our installed capacity projections We often under-perform when it comes to new job creation Unfortunately, many job seekers make assumptions about the first trend that do not match the reality of the second. Before we jump into strategies for pursuing professional development, it may be helpful to discuss why we aren't seeing a solar employment boom. First, don't fret too much. Employment in the industry is growing. We are a new industry with a lot more room to grow and have the potential to hire hundreds of thousands of new employees in the United States alone. Currently though, there are two major challenges with creating...

The Minnesota Department of Commerce is now accepting applications for the Made in Minnesota Solar Incentive Program. Made in Minnesota is one component of last year's solar energy bill passed by the legislature and signed into law by the Governor that is aimed to grow the solar energy sector in Minnesota. "Minnesota businesses, nonprofits, and residents that have been interested in solar as a renewable energy source should quickly apply for the Made in Minnesota Solar Incentive Program," said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. "This program will help Minnesota meet our renewable energy and solar goals by creating an opportunity to buy local and invest in solar." Who can apply for the Made in Minnesota Solar Incentive Program? The solar incentive program will be available to customers of the following investor-owned utilities: Xcel Energy, Alliant Energy, Minnesota Power, and...

Are you considering a renewable energy system to help power your home? Are you planning to add solar panels or perhaps a small wind system? Perhaps you are thinking about purchasing green power from your utility, but you want to employ your own clean energy source to increase your energy independence and reduce your carbon footprint? Taking the step in developing your own renewable energy system is an admirable goal and to help you achieve this goal, the Minnesota Department of Commerce Division of Energy Resources recommends that homeowners first apply some simple, energy-saving measures before investing in a renewable energy system. By investing first in energy efficiency and energy conservation up front, you can lessen your energy demand, which will reduce the size of the investment needed for your renewable energy system and optimize the returns on your system.

Wisdom at Work: Resources for the 50+ Job Seeker
Program Description
Due to the recent economic downturn, changes in workforce needs, and the increased focus on workplace technology, finding a job is often difficult, if not impossible for the 50+ job seeker.
To help older job seekers understand and navigate the new job market and overcome job search challenges, "Wisdom at Work: Resources for the 50+ Job Seeker" was launched on June 20, 2013. The program is a collaborative initiative by the Beard Center on Aging at Lynchburg College, Region 2000 Workforce Investment Board, and the Virginia Employment Commission.
"Wisdom at Work" is a program designed to offer support, job search tips, basic computer training, and other useful information to job seekers ages 50 and over. Topics to be covered during the year will include, but not be limited to: local resources, job hunting tips, surviving unemployment, the computer job search, self esteem, age discrimination, successful interviewing, resume development, and more.
After a 45-minute educational program, 50+ job seekers will have the opportunity to meet with speakers and other employment professionals (when available) and network with other 50+ job seekers. Handouts on job search techniques and local resources will also be available to attendees during each meeting.
- To support workers and job seekers of 50+ years of age
- To increase the marketability of 50+ workers
- To promote the value of older workers in the community
- To reduce age discrimination in Region 2000
- To link 50+ community members with local resources, age-friendly jobs, and employment support

What are you working on right now?
I'm closing out sales for fiscal 2009 strong and locking down sales strategy, forecast and quotas for fiscal 2010.
What's your favourite Microsoft benefit?
I love the business casual dress code. It enables me to express myself in my dress, plus work better, smarter and stronger.
What's different about working at Microsoft?
It has to be the people here. Someone who left MS said to me, "after working with the Thoroughbreds, it's difficult to go back to the Hacks".
What have you learned while you've been here?
It's equivalent to attaining a MBA several times over. My understanding of technology has grown enormously as well as my project management, sales, business development, communication, negotiations & presentation skills.
You've been with Microsoft for 17 years. What's the training and development been like for you?
When I started you'd had to learn how to take a computer apart and put it back together!
What's the most exciting thing about working here?
I'd have to say it's the ability to change jobs easily. In fact, I've recently come over from Redmond to start a new role here in London.
How supported were you to make the move to the UK from the US?
Very, very supported. From my move manager, to the school expert who found a nursery for my daughter, to the relocation person who found our house. The team were wonderful. (And patient!) When you have help house hunting, finding schools, fitting in the community and loads more—moving across continents suddenly becomes easy.
Has it been a culture shock?
The biggest! It's been a tough 3 or 4 months getting to grips with things, but I'm there now. To anyone relocating I'd say, "do it in springtime"—that's when you Brits seem to start coming out of your houses and having fun.
What kind of person do you think thrives here?
The only constant thing here is change, so you've got to be able to relish it. It's a fast-paced culture and things move quickly—so hang on for the ride.
Look for jobs like mine.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The head of the company that owns a South Korean ferry that sank and left more than 300 people dead or missing was formally arrested Friday as authorities worried he may destroy evidence, officials said.
Kim Han-sik, president of Chonghaejin Marine Co. Ltd, became the company's fifth person under arrest after investigators raised suspicion that improper stowage and overloading of cargo might have contributed to the April 16 disaster. Kim is facing allegations that he was aware that the ferry exceeded its cargo limit but didn't do anything to stop it from leaving port, according to prosecutors.
A court in the southern port city of Mokpo said in a release that it issued an arrest warrant for Kim because there are worries he may destroy evidence.
Senior prosecutor Yang Jung-jin of a joint investigation team confirmed Kim's arrest.
More than three weeks after the sinking, 273 bodies have been retrieved — most of them high school students — with 31 others still missing. Search teams have been hampered by strong currents, bad weather and floating debris inside the ship. A civilian diver fell unconscious while searching and died on Tuesday.
Relatives of the dead and missing passengers and many other South Koreans have been highly critical of the government's handling of the operation and the regulatory failures that may have allowed the disaster to happen.

Leucadendrons in the Valley--any experience?
Hi everyone,
Have you grown, or know someone who has grown, Leucadedron plants in the Valley? Any long-term information on success or failure?
I did another leap-before-I-look and purchased two different Leucadendrons a couple of weeks ago (protea relatives) and have planted them in my garden here in Scottsdale. So far so good, but of course it's very, very early. :)
One is a hybrid and one is L. salignum and both are listed as hardy enough to at least trial here (heat tolerance data is harder to find), so I'd love to hear if anyone has tried them or has experience with them in the warm-winter areas of AZ. I do know they cannot tolerate fertilizers with high levels of phosphorous, so I'll keep that in mind for sure.
If you have, or know of, personal experiences with them (good or bad) in AZ, please don't be shy. I do grow tons of reliably excellent performers for our area, but it's also fun to test-drive some fringe cases now and then too.
In the meantime, wish mine luck, LOL.
Happy gardening,
Good luck with this, but I doubt that they are going to be successful. There are few growers of Proteas/Leucadendrons/Leucospermums here in California away from the coastal influenced areas. High summer heat is one problem, freezing winters is another,(although as you say, some Leucadendrons are tolerant down to low 20'sF), and water quality issues can also be a concern. All that being said, good air circulation, well drained soil with an inorganic mulch to keep the soil surface as cool as possible, and no irrigation when the soil temperatures are conducive to phytophthera infection is your best bet. I would suspect that growing them in bright shade or under the protection of Mesquite or Palo Verde trees is your best bet, similar to how you would grow heat sensitive Aloe species or summer-sun intolerant Agaves. There aren't any Leucadendron species that I can think of that grow well outside of the Fynbos vegetation belts and extend into more desert-like areas to the north of the Cape Region. Certainly not L. salignum varieties, which are always more coastal or at elevation in coastal mountain ranges within the winter rainfall areas of the Western Cape.
While parts of the Western Cape can get quite hot and dry on occasion, it doesn't last for weeks/months in succession, nor do the nights stay so hot as they can/do in subtropical Colorado desert climates.
I tried growing some kind of Leucadendron--they weren't labeled--about 20 years ago. From their reputation, I planted them in a very sandy spot with afternoon shade. They managed to squeak by the first summer, but the second summer did for them, and they never really looked healthy. Since I have learned a few things in the interval, I might do better today, but my impression is that they are more trouble than they are worth. Right now I am checking out the Hakeas, which the Western Garden Book says will grow here, but I have never seen any here. Anyone got a notion of how those do here?
Kevin : )
Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate them. Good information, suggestions, and experiences. Loved hearing them.
It sounds like I should enjoy them while I can, LOL. I've sited them where I thought they had their best chances: dappled shade on slighly sloped ground that's fairly well-draining (for my soil, anyway). Like I said, the bulk of my garden is made up of workhorse plants that love it here, but these were interesting experiments so we'll see what we see. I'll definitely keep an eye on watering and fertilizers.
I've had great luck with several Callistemons (who in the Valley hasn't, LOL?), Eremophila, Dwarf Eucalyptus, Melaleucas, Grevilleas (not the silk oak type) etc so I thought these were the natural progression, heh heh.
Below is a pic of one of the Leucadendrons in bloom, it's the smaller L. salignum (the hybrid L. 'Safari Sunset' is much larger in scale). I'm glad I resisted the variegated form, sheesh!
Thanks again for the tips, tricks and suggestions. I'll post some updates, even if it's to say they were lovely, short-term in-ground bouquets!
Take care,
I wish I knew. I bought mine at Roger's gardens in Orange County, California.
By the way, the L. 'Safari Sunset' has done GREAT in my garden now almost 2 years later. It's in almost full sun, and gets water once a week or so and seems very happy. It came through the cold winter uncovered perfectly fine and doesn't seem very bothered by our summers either. I think it may even be getting ready to bloom. I really like it and wish I had bought more, like, um, six more!
Let us know if you find an online source.
Take care,
looks like I found the mother load!

'Lone Ranger' Trailer: They're Coming For You
Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice.
Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice.
"There come a time when good man must wear mask." So intones Johnny Depp to Armie Hammer in 'The Lone Ranger' trailer, which reveals that director Gore Verbinski is up for being a little weird in his big budget blockbuster.
Though audiences may not be quite as excited for 'The Lone Ranger' as they are for 'Iron Man 3' or 'Fast and Furious 6,' we think this 'Lone Ranger' Super Bowl trailer could change their mind.
A new 'Lone Ranger' trailer is one of the many new pieces of footage we'll get to see at the 2013 Super Bowl, and just as Disney released a sneak peek at the upcoming one for 'Oz: The Great and Powerful,' we now have a preview from 'The Lone Ranger.'
It was only recently announced that Disney's 'Pirates of the Caribbean 5' hired a writer and is definitely moving forward, and now the powers that be have confirmed a release date for the latest installment.
Even though the fourth film in the franchise, 'Pirates of Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,' was the lowest grossing of the franchise domestically, that film - boosted by 3D - managed to make over a billion dollars worldwide. So that a writer has been hired to write 'Pirates of the Caribbean 5' should be no surprise.
Part of the appeal of ABC's fairytale drama 'Once Upon A Time' lies in its inclusion of multiple fairytale characters, from Disney to Grimm, all in one story. The second season alone has featured the introductions of Mulan, Captain Hook and Lancelot, with the potential for others such as the Aladdin characters going forward, but what, if any characters are out of bounds? Could the series manage to include even recent Disney creations, like 'Pirates of the Caribbean's' Jack Sparrow?
We've been getting some great looks at the new 'Lone Ranger' film starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, but here's the first official 'Lone Ranger' poster to sufficiently keep you wanting more until the film's release... sometime next year.
Hey Kemosabe, the 'Lone Ranger' trailer is here and gives us our first look at Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as The Lone Ranger...and a lot of trains. So what do you think of Depp's Native American accent?
Growing up, Johnny Depp was so obsessed with Barnabas Collins, the lead character from the Gothic soap opera 'Dark Shadows,' that he later admitted he wanted to be him.
Now Depp gets to play Collins, a vampire who was buried alive in 1752 and then mistakenly dug up in 1972, in Tim Burton's film adaptation of the legendary cult series. (Depp playing a fish-out-of-water weirdo? Say it ain't so!)
The big budget update of 'The Lone Ranger' won't hit theaters until the summer of 2013. But the first official images of the film were just released on producer Jerry Bruckheimer's Twitter account, offering a peek at Johnny Depp as one of the most iconic sidekicks in pop culture history.
Capt. Jack Sparrow is back!
Today, Yahoo! released the official theatrical trailer for 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,' the fourth installment in Disney's mega-popular movie franchise.
The new trailer includes footage of Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) on his quest to find the Fountain of Youth, as well as scenes with 'Pirates' newbies Penelope Cruz, who plays the seductive Angelica, a woman from Jack's past, and Ian McShane, as the villainous pirate Blackbeard.

Episode 4 is my favorite episode of Big Finish audios. There is no close second.
It is, to date, the one and only Doctor Who Musical.
I knew this story would bring you out into the open
Hopefully it'll be more enjoyable to me further on, but, I think I finished all of the first episode, and I'm feeling about as irritated as Susan waiting for the story to do something (Though maybe that's intentional for story purposes

Is our health system in danger? Reorienting the reform of health management (4/4)
Health is one of the key concerns of the French. Yet it has not been a major topic of political debate, probably due to the highly technical nature of the problems involved in the financing and management of the health care system. An OFCE note presents four issues that we believe are crucial in the current context of a general economic crisis: the last major concern about the health system is hospital financing. This underwent severe change in 2005 with the launch of the T2A system, which reintroduced a direct financial relationship between the activity of the hospitals and their financial resources. It has reinforced the importance and power of the ãmanagersã, which could give the impression that hospitals were henceforth to be regarded as undertakings subject to the dictates of profitability. suite…»

Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, April 01, 2011, 00:46Master
Intermittent ignition coil is common on the 4.0L I had one that would buck and surge and not even set a Check Engine Light identifying which coil was failing. Some shops just replace all coils if it doesn't identify which coil has failed and a drivability problem is experienced.
ReplyVisitor, June 02, 2011, 19:25
I have a 2000 S-Type and I am experiencing the same problems. However, I am replaced the damaged engine coils and I'm still having the same problems with miss-fires. A mechanic said it all 4 timing chains need to be replaced at an astronomical price. Do you have any suggestions/advice?

Charles University in Prague Chapter conducts FEniCS workshop
Jan Papež of Charles University in Prague Chapter of SIAM writes:
In February 2015 the Charles University in Prague Chapter of SIAM organised a week-long workshop focused on programming in the FEniCS Project. The FEniCS Project is a collection of free software with an extensive list of features for automated and efficient solution of partial differential equations. Among the main components of this tool there are the C++/Python problem solving environment DOLFIN and the Unified Form Language (UFL) that allows a user-friendly and almost mathematical formulation of the problem.
The workshop started off with solving the Laplace equation which was used to teach participants the basics of Python and provide them with a brief introduction to FEniCS. We used our previous experience from MATLAB workshops that learning by doing is the most appreciated approach by attendants. Later in the week we moved from one problem to another and solved the heat equation, the evolutionary nonlinear problems of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation, and the equations of hyper-elasticity. In the end we spent the last day on computing the eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator.
The course was led by two members of our faculty, Jaroslav Hron and Jan Blechta who is one of the developers of the FEniCS Project. The workshop attracted 30 participants, students and faculty staff members. We consider it to be a great success with the possibility of becoming a regular activity of our Chapter.

My Favorite SIAM Legacy
Susan Whitehouse, outgoing SIAM Membership Manager, recalls memories working with the SIAM student chapter community:
I will be retiring soon, after 12 great years serving as SIAM's first Membership Manager. My fondest legacy is the student chapters. When I walked in the door in January of 2003, there were 12 chapters scattered about the U.S. No one knew who ran them or what they did. My first task was to survey the existing chapters to find out what they were doing and how SIAM could best support their activities. My second task was to put together a website that would include all the tools that schools would need to set up new chapters and request financial support (the top request identified in my survey of chapter needs.) My third task was to start telling the SIAM community about the opportunity to set up chapters and encourage them to do so at their schools. Read the rest of this entry »

Can rudbeckia seedlings handle light frosts?
I have a bunch of annual rudbeckia seedlings (Indian Summer, Tiger Eye, Prairie Sun, Cherockee Sunset, Maya) that have already been planted out. We're anticipating a light frost this coming Monday and Tuesday (to 34 degrees). Will the rudbeckia seedlings be able to withstand light frosts? My experience is that petunias are able to withstand frosts, though they are annuals, so I'm hoping that the same is true of the rudbeckias. (In fact, last fall my petunias continued blooming even when the nighttime temperatures briefly dipped into the 20s for weeks.)
Good question. I would guess yes since my older ones are up in the garden already, but i have no idea about new sprouts. I've been covering everything with a tarp just in case, but I'm not brave enough to have planted out anything but lettuce and other cole veggies in our zone. Last frost date is still a month away.
I've planted a bunch of seedlings last weekend, including rudbeckias. We had two nights with frost. Just checked all my "babies", all are doing fine. I even planted some Tithonia and they survived (mostly, some got hit). But that was quite protected spot. Last weekend, I have planted already a lot. I'm not trying to beat any records. This weather mixed everything. I should be be planting first weeks of May. But everything is growing so fast and getting out of containers. In the second week of April, I have three trips, so I'm thinking, at least if I'll put most of the plants into the groung before, they'll have a better chance to survive then in overcrowded containers. I'm not going to plant zinnias or cosmos, or other very sensitive ones. I hope, I can trust my DH to take care of a few containers, but, definitevely, I can not trust him with all. So, I'm sitting now and checking all sites with weather... there will be again a few nights this week with low 30s. Therefore, to plant or not to plant, this is a question....
