Glad to be ashore, but sorry to leave good old Isaac. Heck, the Muggles still there are having as much fun as those at the tiki bar. He’s promised not to be closing anytime soon.
As my garden is closing down for the season, these guys get big time credits for always giving spectacular late color-

Amsonia Hubrechii back, Purple Dome aster and autumn foliage of Filipendula hexapetala.
Wow! These are vibrantly amazing -- verging on psychedelic!
Also wondering whether Amsonia hexapetala might just be the scientific name for whatever illicit substance these babies have ingested along with their Miracle-Gro!
This is so frustrating. I know this will be a head slapper when I see the answer. And I’ve spent so much time staring because I know it’s right there somewhere!
oh, i'll take a nudge. It's got to be something to do with the things but in a way...
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.
You and I are of the same vintage: I immediately thought of "The Graduate" when I saw Ms. Ross's name, too!

I'll just say one thing to the both of you, "Plastics!"
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Ashore with an answer that fits. I hope I’m right. So does my husband cause he’s sick of me talking thru this puzzle while he’s watching The Masters. Silence is (now) golden.
The Masters is over now. He can help you with the meta
Or maybe YoungestCopperRiver can help
Ha ha! He's on to NFL now. But wait til my youngest hears she got a shout out!

Tell him that he can solve the meta and watch the Patriots - Ravens at the same time.
I've looked at this thing 'til I'm sick of it. Throwing up a Hail Mary and calling it a week. And I'm getting damn tired of getting worse at these things.
