Oops missed the coffee klatsch yesterday, but I brought along some biscotti if you like to dunk, if I eat any more of these myself they'll need a come-along to drag my butt out to the garden when spring gets here. I'd like a splash of real cream, and sugar too, please...oh, I see them over there on the counter. Mmmmm nice hot coffee. I could be tidying up this messy after-Christmas residue but this is much more fun. And then, there's garden catalogs to peruse, there must be something in them that I can't live without. After the freezing weather and the current thaw, I'm sure I'll need to replace some of my tender perennials in spite of mulching, this old clay soil is really hard on them. Hoping for a blanket of snow to keep their little feets warm, but so far not having any to speak of. Lost butterfly bushes and some roses last year, but didn't feel too bad about the roses as the jap. beetles chewed them up pretty good....and I picked them up for a measly $2 at a sale. Ever wonder why you can throw out a bouquet of cut flowers after a week without a qualm, but keep nursing a lousy replaceable african violet for months? Or why the dahlias you stuck away in fall find some hiding place in spring so that you don't find them until October? Or why you have 418 empty plastic pots sitting in the shed/garage ....heeheehee. Gabbed with my sister in N.C. this morning, she's going golfing. Grrrrrrrr. I called her a bad name. She knows that's the price for telling me about the nice warm NC weather while I'm sitting in the fog and cold. OK, that's it for now, the littlest cat wants to play on the keyboard, and I'm not allowing that. Don't eat all the fudge I may be back later.
