Narrow road scare on bluebird trail rescue
I faced a frightening amount of danger on a narrow Shell mouth road when a gravel ridge gave way under my car. A passerby named Jack Bryer and his son helped push the vehicle back onto the road, and I was grateful. I value the many friends I have along the bluebird trail.

Wintering Roses and Covering Techniques for Cold Weather
Horticultural notes explain how roses go dormant in winter and must be properly hardened off. Eliminate plant food after early August and water sparingly, with a final watering before covering. Delay covering until late October or early November if weather allows, using the pail method or mounding with soil and leaves or straw. Dust above ground level, and apply Captan or lime sulfates as fungicides. In spring, avoid rushing uncovering to prevent loss from early exposure.
