I did last winter and it thrived this year. I am waiting for the flowers to stop before I cut it back. Such a lovely plant. I am really on the fence about the flu shot. I am going to get the two-part shingles vac because I know too many people who have had it and I would rather have a mild case, if I have to get it at all. Fall is definitely here (and there).Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-64049551094553383412019-10-14T12:07:28.556-04:002019-10-14T12:07:28.556-04:00I have only had a flu shot twice in my life and go...I have only had a flu shot twice in my life and got really sick both times. The last time I had the shot because my dad was so sick and I did not want anything to get in the way of being able to visit him. Shortly after the shot, I had shingles! Could not see him in any event, then. I had the pneumonia shot with no problems, not even sore at the injection site.Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-10473208018429733492019-10-14T09:09:07.352-04:002019-10-14T09:09:07.352-04:00That doesn't sound very pleasant… I've jus...That doesn't sound very pleasant… I've just had the 'flu jab, too and as always my upper arm is now twice as big as it was.
