It looks like Rodgersia to me.
3 years agoWell,they need to change it back.
3 years agoYouse guys are so romantical. Happy anniversary. We just hit 30 last month. It’s kinda astounding, isn’t it, to be hanging with the same person for so many years? Kudos to Rachael. Okay, and you too.

3 years agoFirst of all, Happy Anniversary! Secondly, wise choice on taking the bus to Buffalo. It's a rainy day in the northeast. I went out this morning, thinking there was a window of opportunity, and the skies opened up before I was even out of the neighborhood. I came back drenched after 11 miles. I would not have wanted to be out all day. So, bus tickets = perfect gift.
3 years agoNo, we never followed them - I don’t remember noting them there at all. Occasionally we will call or check in ahead of time if we know we’ll be arriving early, but mostly we just show up when we arrive and hope for the best. We don’t tend to get that early a start anyway, so more often than not a room is available when we arrive.
3 years agoWe’ll, we’re up to three, and still counting. And thanks for the linguistics lesson en passant - I’ve never heard the term accent circonflexe before.
3 years agoHi,
“Presqu’île “ is the French word for peninsula (which itself is Latin for a “almost an island”). The accent circonflexe indicates the missing “s” in isle that was dropped in the years between french colonization and modern times. I suspect you’ve only scratched the surface of the Presque Isles in North America .
Cheers,
Keith
Over on that other site, did you ever follow two recumbent riders, male nurses, who rode at night? Partly to beat the heat, partly because they both worked night shift and that was their preference. Their bicycles had enough lights to be in a parade. They normally rolled into town at 10 AM or so. I wrote and asked them how they got into their rooms so early, did they pay for an extra night to have the room waiting for them? The answer was no, that they tended to travel remote areas where the motels were never full and had nice mom and pop owners who let them in.
I've found if I call ahead the night before and say I plan to arrive early, could my room be at the top of the list (provided the previous occupants get out early), that's been helpful.
Twice we've paid for a second night when we didn't sleep there - both nights were in very cheap motels and we wanted one more ride (and shower) before going home.
Yup, it is indeed an eastern native.
My website address is wrong. Should be:

A pretty and showy plant, not one I remember seeing before. It must be another easterner.
