[Sacred Succulents] Solstice/Year end updates

[Sacred Succulents]

Solstice and year's end Greetings,
It has been tumultuous couple months. 
Due to the Kincade Fire mandatory evacuation for our region at the end
of October and then being ill with a bad flu for weeks we were out of
commission most of November. 
This has precipitated numerous problems. 
The fire never came near us but a lot of plants were damaged by high
winds and lack of water while we were gone and while we were sick. We
started having significant frosts during this time which caused
additional damage to plants we had not had the chance to move to
protected locations. The last few weeks I've been scrambling to
salvage plants and complete winter preparations.Because of all this I
have been forced to push back completing the new Rare Plant List and
other projects. At this time I realistically hope to get the RPL
completed and mailed some time in mid/late January. Due to tech
problems I've not been able to print catalogs in some time and I have
a backlog of requests. I also hope to have this remedied and catalogs
sent to those waiting soon. I was planning on holding a plant auction
fundraiser this fall but it is now clear that I won't have the time or
energy for such an auction for at least a few months. We'll keep you
posted. Some issues with the website meant we were not able to post
any updates until recently. We've extended the Autumn Plant Sale until
tomorrow Dec. 31, See list below. All orders must be postmarked by
this date to receive the discount prices. See the second half of the
homepage http://www.sacredsucculents.com for a medley of new specimen
plants.  I somehow deleted a bunch of emails that were sent around the
time of the evacuation, if you haven't gotten a response to email sent
late October or in November I apologize, please try me again. It seems
that 2019 has been a long series of crises here and this has
compromised the level of service I can offer. I am doing everything I
can to navigate this gauntlet and fix things. I deeply appreciate your
ongoing support and patience. 
Fertile blessings for this coming year!BenSacred Succulents Autumn
