SEVENTEEN DAYS TILL SANTA's SLEIGH

I couldn't wear them..too small
Heck I couldn't even spell them...hurray for the spell checker

I got confused about when to spray my boxwood to prevent winter damage, and I missed the boat.

You sure Dixie didn't get them to wear with her mini skirt to the Christmas parade?

Who knows I can't keep up...

You lovely folks have a great night. Got a couple things to take care of before i call it a night...Sweet dreams y;all.

she did mention it....

g'night Moon!

Night Moon

I'll get my hair done Lynnie for picture taking...

Catch you in the morning...not to early
Have good night

Night Lynnie...stay warm...your boxwood will be okay...grin

Ha, Ha, Lynnie. I keep my head buried in tropical plant's so much that sometime's I forget my natural surrounding. Dave just gave me a reality check;-)

Jean, our weather will soon make up it's mind and I hope it's more snow vs. ice.

Good morning,Good Morning every one! Off to work in a few just wanted to say hello. Dave there is a restaurant think it may be on the big island called the Dixie Grill......Grin..just thought I'd throw that in the mix..with our morning coffee. Good morning Lynnie and Smiley! Yall save me some breakfast! Lynnie are ya going to the gym this a.m.? My old mid section needs work....do a few crunches for me! Thanks, I can already feel the burn! Gotta get outta here. Have a lovely morning and be safe. See yall this after noon.

Hope you guys have a great day....think the whole country is either getting rain, ice or snow...be too careful and stay warm and dry...

already went to the gym, Dixie, just got back. Got up late so did quick weights that's it. Got those crunches in, are ya feelin' it?

Hi everyone,is it am with you Gypsies still? 1pm here and my lunchtime,just a little chat break before I continue with my day.Nice and sunny here today,temp 46[again,getting boring!]
Rachel,that photo's lovely ,it's very similar to the kind of schene you might see walking in countryside local to me.Walking is one of my main hobbies and I love all aspects of nature,animals ,trees plants,everything and like to be out in countryside as often as possible.
Dave,that house Gecko's a beautiful little lizard,was he/she in your house?,wish they lived here :},send some more reptile photos please if you can.
I hope you all have a good day,I'm off for a swim later this afternoon.Didn't go earlier as had a good few errands to do,time of year and all that....
I'll hopefully talk later.
Take care
Joy......Rachel,I've tried to capture the similarity of schenery here.

Just gone 7AM here Joy. The continental US is divided into 4 times zones. Smiley, Lynnie, Rachel, Flowers, Dixie and Venice are in the Eastern time zone.
JJ, Seed, Trina, Kassy, Rev Jim and I are in the Central time zone. Followed by Mountain time and Pacific time. Eastern is 1 hour ahead of Central, 2 ahead of Mountain and 3 ahead of Pacific.
Then there is Dave in Hawai'i and if I remember correctly, he would be right about 12 hours behind you...

This little guy was hanging out in the orchids.

Morning everyone,
Joy and Rachel that countryside is beautiful. All I get to look at is corn and bean fields..bla

Lynnie how in the world can you get up that early and go to the gym??
I can get up early and go to the couch...

Moon you sound revived this morning...more snow here and a bad one...they say on the way.

Good Morning JJ....weather has been talking heavy snow storms and ice storms all over the place today....it started raining here last night and is expected to continue through late tonight...slack back and start again on Thursday....gonna here us "croaking" down hear. You take care and be safe

Good morning ladies, Wow moon gonna have to put that on my refrigerator so I'll remember it lol. Lynnie do you ever sleep? JJ I'm with you, they would have to handcuff me and drag me out with a crane to get me in a gym that early lol. Dixie you hurry back and see us now you hear!!! Here Lizard, Lizard, Lizard cute little boogers. Joy I hope Theodore the tortoise and Beau pretty bird is finding fun in doors while it is cold.Its 47 degrees here and 8:50 here and I am gone to get my first cup of coffee. Dave and Rachael great pictures for sure. Have a good Day All, might find a bagel too.

Joy, I wouldn't mind taking your photo, a couple of Dave's and Rachel's too, and blowing them up to standard window size and plastering them over my windows.

I live in a suburban neighborhood and see my neighbors houses when I look out the windows!

All you mid-westerners keep safe and warm. Batten down the hatches, we get it after you. I see nasty stuff all over.

Moon, I wish I had lizards in my orchids! Heck, I wish I had orchids!

Everyone have a great day.

That can be arranged Smiley....grin I could send you both....grin

Good Morning Flowers. How ya doing this morning?

Good morning moon, sorry I jumped out for a bagel and cream cheese to get me going. Dreary here and think we are getting geared up for the rain you had Thanks Buddy lol

Ohooooo a wiggly present Smiley, that would be better than a puppy and not near the upkeep lol

You are so welcome...it is just within my nature to share....grin This storm system seems to stretch from Texas right on out to the Atlantic....look out Joy....grin

Have in laws in Texas, they very seldom get snow, but just got some and know they were estactic over it.

We got a bit Friday night...that heavy, icy snow that falls in huge clumps...the ground was so wet from the earlier rain that the snow was very nearly gone Saturday morning. Our high today is supposed to be in the low 70's and weather alert for flash flooding....not a problem where I am, but the road out is much lower and the bridge has been under 6-8 feet of water before. Means we have to use the boat to go to grocery store...me gotta go row the pirogue down da bayou....grin

Dixie Moon needs Poos floaties!!!!! This has been a wet year in central and eastern areas especially.

70 that is wild, you are not that far from me and I'm freezing my tushi off.

pirogue, I buy those at the grocery store. Big pasta with mashed potatoes inside lol

Must be that mountain elevation....I am only 23 ft or so above sea level...I think you are a little over 2000 ft above sea level

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prairieville,_Louisiana

Mais I didn know you could eat a pirogue....grin (the gue is sorta silent) lol

pirogy actually lol just didn't know what the other name meant lol

Great link, elevation 23 ft? Is that a typo? As our elevations run 3500 and above.

It is a small boat used for almost everything, hunting fishing checking traps, etc

Nope, it is not a typo....I live right close to the level of the sea....grin at least I am higher than New Orleans, most of which is at or below sea level.

Ok here is my state, Joy may enjoy these, a long read tho I warn ya.

Oh, do you think we should do the links for our town, or our state or both?

Will do states for now and if she wants more we can post towns later I think.
