I've noticed some gypsy moth catapillars the past few days. We haven't had them in our neck of the woods for several years.

Parker Dams haunted hayride will be moved to S.B. Elliott park this year and they will also have a haunted house. It usually benefits the Friends of Parker Dam. I think its in mid to late October.

I have tried plastic (it just grows beneath it and is a all white color but it will creep out again) Also tried round-up. It still comes back. It can be pretty if controlled.

Aargh, Snow on the Mountain.

I was going to say it was Snow on the Mountain also. I had the varigated plants for years and tried to kill it off but then it started to come in all green. I could never figure that out, why it changed color but I know for sure it was the same plant as the bi-colored before.

My daughter had one in her garden just last week and sent me a pic of it. I had never seen one before then.

Dig them out and plant them in a place out of the way. Water them and move them back when you can. I do this all the time and they survive for me. Just keep them watered in hot dry weather.

I think there's a building at the breast of Parker Dam where a lot of that history is displayed.  

The building in the pic with the guys with the truck looks like the building at PD. It is made with logs now but could have been rebuilt on the original site. The doors and windows all seem to be the same. I'll have to check that out to see if that is indeed the same place where that building stood. I am sure the museum that is in the building at Parker Dam would be interested in these pics if they do not already have them.

Does anyone have the black eyed susan vines? I just discoverered them last summer and love them. I haven't seen many around here but did notice them in New England last week. Mine are yellow but they come in a yellow orange too.

Yep, shrub rose hips!  They're great for jams and jellies, and very healthy.

Do you mean you can make it from the buds before they bloom? Sorry if I misunderstand.

We see them all over in Maine. I wondered too what they were. They have beautiful roselike blooms in a  deep pink. I have seen one growing in a yard in Beechwoods and always wanted to plant one. They are very sharp though.

I have several pics of the flood. The boulevard, PT, Riverside all underwater. they are film pics so I have no idea how to post them.

No pics, but remember going there as well on field trips. Oh yes the peacocks!

Martinos in Brockway carries it and probably always will. The owner told me he uses the Fels on his collars so I'm sure he'll keep it in stock.

I pmd you.

I wouldn't consider where he lives West Liberty, but he may know someone.

There are a few of us on here that have ties to West Liberty, maybe someone might have an idea of who you are talking about and get back to you. I am racking my brain!
