Welcome Marion, if you've read our thread for awhile you will certainly know our door is always open for friends...will have to check how far from Clearwater Fl. you are..usually spend 2 or 3 weeks at Christmas visiting mom and Jim..last year I couldn't keep out of the Library, had to continually keep in touch with DG friends...

Love the work you've done in the garden, especially the Weeping Peach...

Judy, so nice to get a visit from your sister..she was there recently was she not???

Gita, will go visit the link you provided, thanks...

Carol, are you getting this cold spell..has been really 'sunny' but the wind is so cold...up with the furnace...

Diane got here early and we worked on our matts, each flower is given special care as where I just wanted my matt done...so mine is done, will start giving it finishing coats (both deck matt and the flower one) but Diane still has another day of work on hers..she was just leaving about an hour ago and Bernice came over, lordy she has trouble getting around, back is gone and no strength in her right arm and then breaking the left, well it was one of her first trips over since winter...says she has some plants for me, too tired today but will drop over tomorrow..

Forgot to tell you, yesterday afternoon I took out a tray of lasagna I had made and thought terrific, it would do me for supper and for today, no sooner did I take it out I thought it's just too much so back in the freezer it went..had a yen for hamburger paddies, scalloped potatoes so I had picked up on Friday 1 1/2 of hamburger so thought if I made paddies and cooked them all it would be supper and maybe more for Monday..so like a good girl, I forgot about the crafts downstairs, stayed close to the stove and they turned out perfect..so, took them and put them on a plate covered with paper towel to absorb the grease and covered them up with another piece of towel..now, I could go lay down and have my nap... just around supper I put the scalloped potatoes on, few cobs of corn and ready for supper, but where are my paddies, did I put them in the fridge, nope, but where are they.....yep Sailor ate them all..so no meat for supper....

This morning when Diane called I thought wouldn't it be nice to have blueberry muffins, made a double batch and got out my giant size muffin tin..would get 6 only...when Diane came in we enjoyed coffee and hot muffin, cooked to perfection...so when Bernice came in, offered her a coffee and muffin, she preferred hers as I do mine, buttered...because she has difficulties getting in and out of chairs, she was going to sit in the rocker, but just before she sat down, asked if she could look at my back gardens, so off we went..came back in..you guessed it, Sailor ate her muffin and my muffin...grrrrr...

Good dog to have around if you want to diet...so now I have to check out what to have for supper that Sailor doesn't like..lol...

Know it's early in the day, but it's warm bath for me, jammies on, sit and watch t.v....in between, might get my coats on all the floormats...lol...

Hope weather was better in your neck of the woods...thank goodness I didn't put all those little seedling out...I'd have lost them all..even the 3 potato type vine plants I purchased are looking a little off because of the cold..wouldn't doubt it could freeze....

Talk later..
