Dogwoods

My dogwoods are so full of blooms. They are terrific. Carey, your dogwood is probably also loaded. It is so much bigger than mine.

Thanks for the post Kristin. We planted a dogwood in the front woodlands by the patio at least five years ago. It has slowly grown but it has never bloomed. This area is in deep shade so there is not enough energy to create the blooms. There is not a variety of dogwood that prospers in our Texas heat.

Too bad that your dogwood won't flower Kevin, but you do have many other wonderful blooming plants. Your grounds are fantastic. Carey's dogwood is really large and blooms beautifully. Mine are dwarf kuosa dogwoods, but they are full of blooms.

Great blooms on that guy. Our dogwood in the front was not that good this year but the kosa in the back has been special. KY has had a cool wet spring so everything that can bloom is. Oh well on comes the heat of summer.

The one in the back is what I was talking about. It was wonderful that last time I saw it.

Family Contacts

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
