JB ~ I know what you mean...some days we just want to "reach out and touch" someone, and feel the love...what we say may not be of much importance but the comraderie....

Jeanette ~ Do you remember any of the names of your Mom's roses?

All of us have our weather issues...too hot, too cold, too much snow at the wrong time...it gives us something to talk about. Yes, JB, those on the Gulf Coast are in for a horrible time...I hope that many of them can afford to move, but I know many of them, as before, have such a strong sense of community that they love their neighbors as themselves and want to stick it out no matter how horrible...and what state was completely flooded this winter? Was it Rhode Island? I cannot imagine having the whole state under water and no where to go... So in the light of those tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis, I feel greatful for the snow in our wintertime, and even in the spring as many others have a less fortunate circumstance, though I may not see it that way at the time...LOL! And yes, I will holler about it, but hopefully not so much that it annoys everyone....as everyone on this planet will have something going on in their lives, even if it isn't the weather.

Sharon ~ I sure hope that your hubby is better...any update on his condition?

Dave ~ I do not have any timers, but may be getting some soon, as it is getting hot and dry here now. Today has been an exception as it did actually rain last night, though it was just supposed to rain in the mountains, and the relative humidity is up to 82%, so I suppose the rest of this year will hold many surprises. We rarely get summer rains. Right now it is 62° with a light breeze blowing. It is absolutely delightful, so I suppose we had better enjoy it while it lasts. How is your mother doing? Too bad she has to go back to work....

Sharon ~ I tried the hardiest white oleander, but it still died during the winter...I tried a pretty peach-colored one as well. They are great for a summer annual. I think I will stick to what I can grow from seed for my summer annuals, once I get the timing right. It really annoyed me to have to "buy in" summer color. My petunias are still growing, but I just started them too late. Hopefully I will do better next year, as this was the first year that I tried so many new things...

Linda ~ How is the weather on the island today?

Lynn ~ Any pictures of your wintersowing results??

Jeanette ~ Any of yours?

Well, I will be going now...I will be back tomorrow, as I will leave this phone line open for a call from one of my granddaughters. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

My first peas...
