Dear Jim, Although, as you may well imagine, I have no idea what or who the Hawks are, their logo is indeed rather splendid. Even more so is your superb header picture of, to me, an unknown hosta.
Just a little side note, Jim. I had Stan Mikita's grandson in my class. His children went to school with my children, and his daughter gave me a signed picture last year for my husband.
Who knew that anyone would even know who he was again! Go Hawks!
I tried to stay up for the end of that game and I couldn't :D I didn't really have a favourite out of the two, but I know you're from Chicago, so I'm happy for you! :D
WOO HOO!!!!! Being from Chicago, Jim, I'm ecstatic! We watched the game last night...so exciting! Being an official Hawk fan, I KNOW the team doesn't mind your post! I'm glad you posted!!!
I never touched a plant till Pat and I moved to Cleveland from Chicago. Our house came with trees and trees and more trees. it also came with overgrown landscaping that hadn't been tended to for 15 years. Pat's always been the gardener. I love hanging out with Pat and I know how to use a shovel. Along the way I discovered a love of gardening. But first, We had to take 12 trees down and 40 dead bushes out. Hosta, ligularia, and sedum are my favorite plants.
Our yard is clay. Clay, clay and more clay. Clay all the way to the center of the earth. The people at the conservation district told us that " we're at the wrong end of the glacier". I nodded the nod of the intimidated and have repeated it ever since. We are true belivers in sweet peet and work in 15 yards every spring. Our back yard faces north and is a good 6 feet lower than the house. Most of the back yard is moist year round. Except for the north east corner, the yard is under shade or partial shade. The front yard is mainly sunny. We are in zone 5b.

Yipee! I heard the firecrackers go off in our neighborhood so it was no surprise to some.

Are we to take it that a Hawks' win is a rarity?
Congrats!
