Well, so much for that translator program!!! ROFL

Hi! I just got back from out of town - I'm thoroughly exhausted, and still have to plant 15 different tomatoes and 9 peppers (and several other things) today before I can relax!!

I'm putting together my want-list, though. I worked on it a bit earlier this week, but have yet to get Trish's input. She'll have a lot of items to add. It'll be up and done soon!!

Thanks,
dave

FYI
It says " Spring is here"
Bud

Mercy...ya'll make my head hurt. I just gotta learn some Cajun....
Dave, sounds like you are itchin' to get that greenhouse going. Am hoping you got some heat going in it of some kind if you are starting 'maters and peppers. (Forgive me if I've missed a few posts re: your greenhouse update...it's getting a bit difficult to follow all these different threads.) Pete2...you actually have a translater program!!? I may need one of those! (may have to use it to figger out what I'M saying!)

Horseshoe, don't let me translate! I missed that one by a mile!! I mis-took "Printemps" for "Pronto" oh well, at least I got the word "ici" right, well, kinda! I thought it was "hurry or here." It was "here". Cajun lingo really has no set written words, so you kind of have to spell it as it is talked. Sorry for the mis-translation! Mon-amis! Lisa

Alrighty Bud, it's up! I posted a little thread about it:

Ok, my entire knowlegde of French translated that one, and from someone in the very frozen north, after temps of 58 yesterday:
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pooey, spring.
Stan says I have to quit reading the messages from you guys down south - it just depresses me..........

Sorry to hear that Kathleen. Today I found about a hundred new little pea sprouts had come up in my pea patch.

Spent the day dividing new perennial flowers (daylilies, irises, siberian irises, and others), tilling up and preparing flower beds, planting lettuce seed and transplants. A lovely day at around 70 degrees! ;-)

LOL I didn't REALLY mean it. May or June will get here eventually!
K.

I know - I was rubbing it in. :)

Truth be known, I am as giddy as ever with this warm southern climate. I was born in Wisconsin, but after 24 years in the south, I think I've decided that I like it. :)

Is there anything more rewarding than a fresh flower bed, full of transplanted perennials flowers that are just starting their season of growth?

We could wait until August and send you some really depressing posts.
Bud

Hey Bud,
I know, 75 is just about too much heat for me! August can be cold here - or just plain miserable, 80 with 99% humidity. We get all the weather you could ask for. I guess I'll let you have your printemps now, it just gives me a month more to get ready!
Kathleen

Hehehe... I like our summer weather, Kathleen! Reminds me of Georgia... I miss it terribly! Last summer wasn terrible though... never got warm, always cloudy or rainy... ick.

Good morning southerners its currently a balmy 10 degrees outside (dress or pants today - hard choice, lol :)...but! the highs will be warming into the 40's this week and, in mid-March my crocus will raise their lovely heads, followed shorty by hyacinths, daffodils, scilla, and tulips - how lovely! and...then it will freeze hard and kill them all and just to add insult to injury will probably dump two feet of heavy snow on them.

Will all that I still love it here!!!! (not so many bugs, and not so many hot nights under the ceiling fan trying to sleep, and I don't have to shower twice a day, lol!!!)

Shower twice a DAY????? Shoot, I shower once a week whether I need it or not!!!! Ah, you have a point RiseAnn, but you know since air conditioning hit the mass market, life in the south has been a lot more bearable! (grin)

I'm one of those people who will take the heat ANY day over cold - I can't stand being cold, and this winter has been exceptionally hard - with rising fuel costs, we've turned down our thermostat, and December/January was one long bitterly cold spell. Spoiled? You bet. At least we have indoor plumbing and all!!!!

"Be ye content wherever ye are" (although I'm not sure that Paul was referring to weather....)

One of the worst places I ever lived was Nebraska - now before I get all the midwesterners riled up, let me explain: loved the people and the laid back way of life, but let's face it - you get tons of snow all winter long, and the summers are almost as hot and sweltering as the south. There's no tradeoff there that I can see. I'm very glad there are people who like it there, otherwise, I might not have all the wheat and corn and pork and beef that I take for granted!!!!

OK- enough about the weather already!:)As I sit here watching this blizzard of 01 hit and sigh as I watch the little hyacinth sprout I noticed vanish under yet another mound of snow, will spring as we know it here(ie two weeks in late May)ever come? Oh, to be able to be out turning over the soil, planting those seeds of hope, the sun beating on my shoulders, the soft breezes, that fresh spring air, the birds singing,....I have cabin fever badly!!

OMG! You mean my translator program worked, Bud? That's exactly what it said!!! Cool!!!
