Thanks for posting that story. Pearl Harbor Day is never far from my mind, especially during the holidays. I identify with your desire for the sleeping Giant to wake up.
The garden thread is a group of friends near and far helping each other.
Just as conversation between friends often strays from topic to topic, so too with the garden thread. It’s all good-generally a respite from the political discourse to just relax and share stories and knowledge not just of plants, gardens, and such.
Thank You, Greeneyes.
My Dad was a WW2 vet and he talked about the South Pacific ALL the time. Finally when I was about 39, I went to the island of Kauai on a timeshare. I have been back many times and love the lore of the Islands.
I have been to Pearl Harbor a number of times and actually played a gig for the 55th reunion of the Massachusetts Survivors.
They all had on their Pearl Grey Forage Caps, Hawaiian Shirts, Leis, and danced better than people half their age.
