Ann, good, it sounds like you are recovering from your malade. Good to hear. Three.5 miles, wow!!! That is a long, long walk. Wish I had the guts and gumption to walk even 1 km. I probably traverse that amount daily on my property, doing work, but it is not the non-stop marathon (smiling) that should be done, meaning, walk, walk, walk. I think our knotweed should be blooming in our area too now, just haven't noticed. Have that wonderful day, to love and live, with best of health. Cindi
