I thought you all could use something rather amusing, considering the return of winter here in the no-longer-too-frozen North.  At least my apricot's not blooming yet and every day closer to last average frost date, the closer I am to finally being able to eat some I grew. -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn.
