I'm back!! 
I see that we have some clear cut favorites, nice! I'll get to work on our list of finalists tomorrow, I just got back from the airport. I had a nice vacation at home, but it was thoroughly exhausting, in a good way.

I saw the entire family on Easter Sunday for a delicious meal. I was really glad to see my grandmother, because she is scheduled for major abdominal surgery in 2 weeks. She's 82 years old, and these almost yearly surgeries (the problem pops up over and over) are taking a toll on her, we even feared for her life last time. So I am happy to have been able to spend time with her and remind her how much I love her, just in case. Because I can't easily cover the 1000km home if there is an emergency.
Other than that, most of the time I was out in the yard and vegetable garden at my mother's, pruning everything that got damaged/ killed by the severe winter cold, and planted potatoes and peas for her. She injured her leg so can't do much around the yard.

Yes, it did get cooler in Lyon too especially sunday and today, and sunday night did go below freezing. But I live in a village in the beaujolais at 730m altitude and the climate is always cooler there, sometimes there is a 10°C difference with the city at night. Spring is 3 weeks behind up there, the trees are still mostly bare and the wisteria is only just putting out the panicles. Meanwhile they are already blooming in a village 5km away only 200m lower than ours!
Sorry you lost all your cristata buds!

Yay!! I was sifting through the staggering amount of emails I got while away (80% junk) and found a message from Dave (an admin). He couldn't fix the poll, but he can see who voted for what, and he sent me a screenshot of the list.
