Been out of town but...

I'm expecting to lose both lindens that were planted last year.  It 
isn't just the mild fall that's a problem -- it was the early cold 
followed by a month long warm spell that has really caused havoc 
around here.  All the leaf buds on both lindens opened in October at 
the same time that a neighbor's lilac went into full bloom.  There's 
now been enough cold to send the lindens into dormancy but there's 
nary a bud in sight for next year's leaves.  Oh well, easy come, easy 
go.
