Recently, Rich and I went to Barnes & Noble to a star party sponsored by S*T*A*R and we viewed the now famous Comet Hale-Bopp! What a sight to behold!! Hopefully, you will get to view this wonder before it disappears on or about May 13. In addition I hope you'll be able to get out there and enjoy some of the local happenings I have listed for you. Please let me know if this newletter has been of some help to you and of course please email of any happenings you would like me to include. Until May 19th, enjoy and hope to hear from you....Karen

RoseGardens, now's the time to consider what to do with the roses that had just surged and made all those new branches. You might want to consider NOT cutting them, instead they can be pegged to increase their buds so that you'll have more blooms this Spring! First measure their height and whether they can be gently lowered to near ground level and placed in a lateral position,if they can you're cooking! Let me know.

From: MURIEL111@aol.com
Would you be kind enough to tell me how I could locate a realtor from whom I
would be able to rent an apartment or home at the south Jersey shore for
August.
