The mental image of you playing out the shower scene in Psycho on your poor yard is more than I can take! After all that jihading, I hope you at least treated yourself to a pint or two of your beloved ice cream. Dandelion Swirl?

I’ve always liked the delicacy of Queen Ann’s Lace as a tall border plant and, while I have certainly seen it along the roadways, I’ve not thought of it as a weed.

Enjoyable piece (so what’s new about that?) but you could also mention that your supporting role has helped the yard achieve such high suburban honors as placement on garden club walks so others may join in admiration.

Jesus, Eugene, Agnes and I are standing here weeping with laughter. Take it easy, will ya? This is the kind of thing that sponsorable daily radio vignettes are MADE of. Think: Dave Barry shilling for Hebrew National.

On the serious side, I need you to ix-nax on the ared-yay ork-way. Agnes is getting ideas.

Here in Wild, Wonderful WestByGawd Virginia, by the way, we work on dandelion hybrids. They should be winging toward you now, just in time for next spring.

Mighty good eatin’, them dandelion greens!
