Yes ma'am, I read about a paragraph about the Serviceberry plants. I've never seen so many words in one paragraph that I had no clue of the meaning. Obviously, meant for persons far more acquainted with Botany than I, but I did find it interesting that Serviceberry plants had about a half a dozen other names and among them Saskatoon. I knew that to be the name of a town in either Alaska or Canada and sounded like it might be Native American in origin which led to another internet search which revealed it to be in Alberta and to have come from a Cree word for the Serviceberry plant.
I have entirely too much time on my hands.
Sorry, about your Dad. I was once T-boned by an old guy running a stop sign. I wasn't hurt. I was driving a used Cadillac which was a very heavy almost tank like car. Probably saved me from serious injury. Force of the impact which struck my car in the rear side panel turned my car in the opposite direction to that I had been travelling and broke the rear axle of my car.
