Mlang: Agree with the others that Northstar is an excellent Morello, and widely available from both net and mailorder sources. It may be a little late to be ordering now. Growing fruit means looking down the road a little. Your requirement that a tree hold fruit in its 2nd year may be difficult to meet. You cannot look sternly at a fruit tree and order it to produce. Cherry trees normally do not set and hold fruit until at least year 3, and often not until year 4. Fruit trees are not radishes. You wait. But the sooner you plant, the shorter the wait.

Your wish is my command, Claire! :) The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. -Anonymous Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. -Ann Landers If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went. -Will Rogers There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. -Ben Williams A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. -Josh Billings The average dog is a nicer person than the average person. -Andy Rooney We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare.

That's almost $21.00 in dog money. -Joe Weinstein Ever consider what our dogs must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul -- chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth! -Anne Tyler Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man.. -Mark Twain You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, 'Wow, you're right! I never would've thought of that!' - Dave Barry Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. -Roger Caras If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them. -Phil Pastoret My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am. ------------------- The only one I don't care for is the Robert Heinlein quote, even though it's soooo true :) Jeff

Joe you are E-V-I-L I may just have to make this for Hannukah (1) What kind of cocoa, dutch or regular? (2) I've never bought a can of cherry/apple/etc. pie filling.
