I would love some new yorker tomato seeds please. From anyone!

Remember he mailed me the dead orchid plant? He packed it up, left it in his hot car for a week and then mailed it off. I tried for months to get it to come back. No luck.

I mailed him two smoke trees, which he recently mentioned had not grown at all. In response he bought some soaps of mine and said his friend (Carol? ummmforget her name - they just went to dinner at Dad's house and Dad said maybe Alex will marry her), told him he smelled so good, unlike the kennel smell he usually had.

I'm thinking that perhaps with the flu and smoking and then trying to quit, his heart had an attack. I'm just sick about this loss....
Murphy- That one of my favorite Nyboyisms. My daylily for Martha, your orchid, the truck, the online purchase of the garage, the greenhouse, his Father and the unleashed dog, the ducks.
Remember Larisa in Russia. Alex always wanted to visit Russia. The often corresponded. I did let her know.
I was just thinking of her. I am glad you let her know.

The one about his mom and dad visiting his country house shortly after he purchased it...

Alex said, in the Haha tree thread in Garden Humor:
"I have my own Ha ha tree thanks to my dad. Along the steam I had a beautiful 20 foot blue spruce tree. They are very SLOW GROWING this tree was magnificent !!!!! Shortly after buying house my mom and dad visited. My dad wondered outside and I made the mistake of leaving him alone talking with mom. About 2 hours later he came in house and proudly said I trimmed your big tree by water. When I saw the tree it took everything I had not to beat him with a rock he cut off every branch but 4 :he:barnie:thThen he had the nerve to say " it will fill in nicely now ":barnie:barnie:barnie:barnie:barnie:barnie"

This was an older dog and over a half dozen years ago. I can't be sure that this one was still around to be adopted but we have been assured that all of NyBoy's dogs have now found homes.

To be sure, Alex touched the lives of the animals in his care. Pets are usually only around for a brief time in their person's life but they had their time, together.
