JB ~ Good morning! I hope that your weather has improved. I had problems with my laptop before and had to ship it to HP for repairs. I did not buy the extended warranty so I had to pay for the repair.....after a fashion as when I first got it back it would not connect to the internet. They had to put in a new hard drive and the software was different. It was very frustrating as I spent hours with them on the phone. I suppose that landline connections are going the way of the past as mine is only $8.99 a month if I prepay it for a year, with PeoplePC. Last year the intro price was $7.99 a year. I got it to get away from Earthlink, and what do you know...Earthlink bought it! Well, at least the price is better and they do not charge us double if we are both on the internet at the same time.
When we move...that is sometime in the distant future, I think we will be going somewhere where they have high-speed internet. I do not like having to spend hours online when the things I want to do should just take a few minutes...especially uploading photos. If I have a lot, I have to take my laptop to the library to do it. That is what I did when I sold on ebay. I have not done that for over a year. I would like to be able to schedule the time but right now I am learning to grow things from seed and it seems to be taking all year. I want to fill our property with beauty...but it is taking time. and it would be so much more money if I had to buy all the individual plants from one gallon containers...

Sharon ~ That 'Blue River' hibiscus is absolutely gorgeous...did you say that was for me? Wow! Thank you SO much! The pressure tank has to do with getting water out of the well. The only problem is if you do not have a adequate backup generator is that when the power goes down, there is no running water. This usually happens to us every winter..but only for a short time. Last year it was down for a few days when we had that bad snow storm. It got down to 17°...brrr! Fortunately we had a good supply of wood and a very good wood stove. We also have a propane furnace, which is fine for most days in winter, but DH really likes the routine of building a fire every night as long as it is cold enough. We never have to buy wood as the limbs break off trees every year and he gathers and cuts them into small logs for our fires.

Mary ~ I will have to take a picture of the potatoes....Yukon Gold, All Blue, German Fingerling, I don't remember the name of the red one, but it just has a red skin...the blue one is all blue throughout. Have you ever seen blue potato chips? I will have to look up the Ronniger's order from the year before, if it is in the file. You can view them on their website. http://www.potatogarden.com . I did not know you were having an operation...they are never fun, but I hope that you recover quickly.

Well, I have some things that must be done before I go to town today...have a good weekend everyone. (Jeanette and Mary ~ Beautiful DL pics!)

My tomatoes are not yet ripe...since I had to plant so late...
