Oakhill Gardens! That's it exactly !!!! How very wonderful that we got connected, you being so close to the place - and I do remember the name Helen Payne also. I think we became friends for a while when I was buying from her in the good old days before the internet, when you actually had to write a letter or make a phone call on the landline repeatedly until someone answered. I think answering machines were not even a thing when I was doing that.
I would love to visit sometime, but it would be with my daughter as driver, since I gave it up about 5 years ago. I'm sure she will be eager to visit, probably in the Spring of 2020, if we all make it to that stage. It's a just a task, even for the younger ones, just to make it through the day without some urgent matter that must be attended to.
Sure is nice to have this conversation with you ☺ and there will be many many more.
Yeah, funny about my browser. I think it's because I put electrical tape over the little camera hole on my iMac desktop, which prevents them from browsing me ☺
to ediblelandscapingsc : you don't have to tell me that, bro. Knew it the first time I saw that profile pic. But even more than that, the good vibes I was picking up. I think, no, I have the feeling that you will be coming here to Oregon, as long as I have something to do with it. If your not against ✈ we have an international airport here in Portland, and from there, your just a hop and a jump to where I'm at, so … we'll keep that on the back burner ♨
to JungleShadows: Helen Payne's book "Plant Jewels of the High Country" - yes I have checked that book out from our library here in Gladstone several times, then I think I eventually bought it - but that was so very long ago, you're awaking memory cells in my poor tired brain that were having a long nap. Last week of April is exactly the right time to be doing that, so "if the creek don't rise" or whatever (no earthquakes, tornados, etc.) we will be there. There was a tornado watch here today because of sightings, and possibly a touch down, just north of here yesterday. Thanks Kevin in Salem ~
