OK so color me redneck logger type but where is Covington (area). And Thanks Greg for sharing that.

Covington is one of those Insta Towns that happen when you run a road through the middle of nowhere. Maple Valley cut off (aka Hwy 18) at Kent-Kangley Road, basically, nothing there more than twenty years old. Not a long long way to T-Hi's kid's school, but actually not very close to anything.

Earthworks fuchsia farm is in or near Covington. Fabulous assortment, and they do tiny, reasonably priced starts in the spring.

How disappointing for her. I suspect you only mind on her account.

Yup cause I would rather be home getting ready for the show (Chehalis here I come) than setting overthere bored like crazy.


On a positive note I just got done with a VERY long phone call. They are expecting me at the show.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Washington buddies.

OK, reluctant to bring up the subject of trees again but what kind of tree is it that is 'deciduous', the leaves turn dead, dry brown and rarely fall from the tree in the fall. They SLOWLY drop a few leaves all winter and don't usually finish until the spring growth forces them off? From a landscape maintenance perspective they are HORRIBLE. The last big job in the fall is fall leaf cleanup and when you're done you're done except with this pesky tree. Keeps me picking up leaves all winter. And the cities line their streets with them. Must be a way to keep their employees busy all winter.

Rustler, You go man on the T-day dinner! Hope it all turns out for you. You are both welcome to come here but I know it's a bit of a drive. It's just 4 of us and I make enough to feed more than twice that! Call me if you are interested.

There's a few of then, none native. Eastern Red Oak is a famous offender, and probably the one you're thiinking of. They're mostly from places that get hot summers, and the leaves don't ripen enough to drop.

I've seen the long-clinging leaves used as a selling point, but since my house just got twice as light when the leaves finally fell, I can't agree.

Well I get to start my day with a BIG spank for asking a straight forward serious question.
