sue, lots of letter writing and law suits - the Klamath River restoration projects been a huge fight for action.

U.S. Acts to Help Wild Salmon in Klamath River
As stocks plummet, agencies demand remedies from the owner of hydroelectric dams. Options include fish ladders, demolition.

Quick clicks.

Danon,
Budapest is always worth a trip.
The Dabube is high, no floodings in Vienna, but a lot along the March at the Slowakian border and in Hungary. The water is of course needed in these special alluvial forests.

Doesn't appear the Sierras will see much of a Spring season. Today more rain - each day for the past 5 days - with freezing temps.

Recall a few years ago, Spring lasted about a day - and then we had 100 degree weather till the following November.

Mr Silver Birch doing well though - lots of new buds <if they don't ge drowned> the tree should recover fully. Hurray!

good day all ~

Say Hello to Mr B, Stradee..... glad he's doing well - I have been watching the weather in your area. You must have dishpan hands all over by now.

ul,
Yeah, Budapest is a great place - I've been several times. The first was only months after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Then it was very decayed looking but the people were very friendly and polite. Traffic was interesting back then - I saw an auto approaching a big traffic circle with grass in the middle - the car hit the curb and traveled straight across the circle of grass and off the other side without slowing down. Also, as I'm sure you know, the people actuall parked their autos on the sidewalk a lot. Ahh well, what's a person to do with such limited parking space. Ha!
On our last visit the buildings are all new looking again but the people are out to screw you out of a dollar. Ha - not really, but the prices are much higher than during the days of old. grin
I still love to visit those areas. This last time, we visited Bratislava for the first time. That's an interesting place to visit.

sumac,
Hungary has some very, very good spas.

Susan,
your rose already- here the first gold of forthytias.
After Easter I will get my balconies ready- the only garden I have.

No special reason to go to Budapest, we wanted to see an art show ( Spanish paintings) in a museum.

Ul,
Did your rose make it through the winter?

Art is always a good reason to do something. Hopefully the paintings weren't all Goya. They can get depressing.
