Coffee Time 2007

Hey Jax! Rabble!Rabble!Rabble! I got one warning so far. It was more like a gentle reminder.

Cute dog Al! That reminds me. I gotta get the dog out for a good run tomorrow.

Harper

Harper, I like your thinking! If we are going to become extinct, might as well have one heck of a tropical garden on the way out!!

Let me clear up some confusion. You wanted pics of my January daffs. Due to everyone else's obsession with pictures (or my personal inability to keep up ;^) ), I was making a funny by saying "I don't have pics but the daffs look just like these." and showed my daffs from last spring. Anyway, I have pics now & will get them on tonight. 4 daffs in bloom in January.

Jax, welcome! You sound like fun!

Dave

Al, you are kidding, right?

I've gotten in trouble a couple of times too. One of the words, I don't even consider bad, the other was a typo.

Harper - I'm putting my money on the dog if there are bets

Dave - I'm not confused nor neither is me confused none much.

Anita - maybe it was one of your bad thoughts? I'm fine - or am I confused?

Low 50's predicted for today!!!

Edited to say I was listening to a NYC radio station and our high will only be 45. I hope to get in my "mandatory" 15 minutes.

I am posting a photo of my "Apple Blossom" Amaryllis but it's not Apple Blossom!!! They must of just stuck the tag on the bulb not knowing WHAT it was!! My best guess would be that this is "Red Lion".

Stunning!

Thank you Pirl, it's just not pink and white like I expected! lol

It really is stunning. I guess I'm so accustomed to the lighter ones that this one really surprised me.

Next year I'll start waking mine up a lot earlier. Now it's about 8" tall.

Pixie, it sure is beautiful anyway.

Al, no ones taking bets, but I'll take your money anyway!

Anita, I remember your typo that you received a warning for! LOL

I've never been warned either.

Pixie, definitely not Apple Blossom, but gorgeous!

Hi, Jax. Somebody's got to make sure the world is paying attention. Right?

Thank you, Dave47 and grampapa! I guess I'm fun. My kitten, Jax, certainly thinks so. Heck; jobs, friends and family are over-rated anyway!!!

OK Here is the real deal. My January daffodils!

And a close-up of 2 of them

Great, Dave. I bet you're looking at them much more right now than if they bloomed in April - who wouldn't?!

Pirl, Not really. I see them when I drive off to work. When I come home it's dark.

Al, Did you see the comet??

comet?

I saw on the internet that a big comet was visible in WI. Guess you missed it.

Dave, I'm proud of you and appreciate the effort :-) Also, daffodils are what gets me thru the winter. I practically hold my breath waiting to see them in the spring. So this was a special treat. thanks.

Dave - probably would have missed it anyway - it is cloudy tonight, after a little freezing rain today.

I'm wary of those pictures - I've been fooled before.

Al, not sure this will work:

Gram, your welcome. It's really not that painful for me to take a picture.

I couldn't sign in. Dmail me your username and password.

Dave, I know that. I'm just trying to subtley (is that a word) encourage you to take more pictures because WE WANT TO SEE THEM!

Dave - you're funny

I finally got it to play, although our computer sucks and Gram won't stop to fix it as she flashes by like a comet with her left blinker on. I did watch the local weather last night and they didn't mention it - maybe it was a top secret operation gone wrong.

Gram - I did actually plant some double daff's last fall for you.

Al, I've stopped to fix your computer at least 3 or 4 times. didn't you get my bill?

I don't open bills - too depressing. I tried upgrading the flash player, but it installed the version I already had, oh well.

that's a pretty lousy upgrade :-(

What do you want for nothing. I pretty much pass on animation with this computer.

You're animated enough.

I don't have any daffodils yet. Is Guilford in one of those "special" growing zones?

Dave, I thought your daffodils were depressing (I don't mean your photo quality or anything! LOL). I mean, to see them bloom so early worries me about the climate.
Harper

Harper, I agree. This was not an exciting event to me.

Yup.

I think we in MA are FINALLY going to get some snow tomorrow.

I hope it waits until Tuesday. Then, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

We're getting a little snow today. Problem is it's hovering around freezing and it ices up the roads

It's been snowing here off and on since I got up. Weather man said these are just snow showers, the real stuff will be here tonight and tomorrow. Possible Nor'Easter, I really doubt it, but we haven't had a good one in a long time!

It's bone chilling weather!
