The day after tomorrow we drive from Minneapolis to visit Neal for Thanksgiving, Neal bought a 100+ duplex three years ago, but this holiday will include Carla, a gal whom he met over a year ago.
I like to grow "everlastings," flowers that can be picked and thrive in a vase without water. Neal has a vase of my everlastings on his fireplace mantel, which include a few Chinese Lanterns, one of my favorite plants with unique characteristics.

| Chinese Lanterns |
Many years ago, my dear friend from high school who lives in Boston sent me some Chinese Lantern seeds from her garden which took five years to germinate but when they did, they were prolific. In 1999 when we built the new house because we needed a one-story for Mim, I should have dug some up to plant out here. I miss having them in the garden.
Maybe I will plant some this spring even though they are invasive setting down layers of roots each year.
Wonderful! I am enjoying reading your blog, from the seat of my 100+ yr. old duplex.
