In some ways I'm envious of all the snow D.C. got this past weekend. Sledding would be great, but would I really want to deal the aftermath? Nah.

You will definately find me in the garden center, but I am wondering how you got the answers upside down?
Just google 'flip text'. There a lots of sites that will convert text for you.
I'm with Les, pretty cool on the upside down text. I won't admit to the ones I didn't know...
Was challenging myself to see if I could ID some trees as we drove up the parkway yesterday...some are certainly easier than others!
Well, I only got 6 right. That upside down text is way cool!
6 isn't bad!
You are an awesome educator! You sure make learning fun. Merry Christmas!
Great list of trees. Ours have just started dropping leaves! The ginko just dropped before that last huge rainstorm.
Warm wishes for 2010!
btw... Find it amazing that you're in Virginia 'sans' all the snow while D.C. nearly buried. Seems like a strange weather system, or perhaps you're farther away than I'm able to picture ;-)
