Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers. May you eat and drink well 
in the company of friends and family - and remember to spend some
time out in the garden, giving thanks for all the beautiful plants that we
are so lucky to have in our pastoral city.  
                                                     from Diane, Chris and the crew.

Tree Wager: for the first time the mayors of Austin and College
Station are placing bets with trees for the Thanksgiving Day clash
of the Aggies and the Longhorns. The city of the losing team must
present trees to be planted in the winning team’s city. College Station 
may have its eyes on some of Austin's majestic oaks... but it seems
more likely College Station's going to be sending us some its fine
crepe myrtles.
