Ain't that the truth. I'll take Texas cold any day over Missery cold.

They must have been transplants to MO.
It's a toasty 34* light rain ;~)
Hahaha!
Complaining it Texas, how dare them! LOL I think we have made it to about 21º or so here!
Hey everybody!!! whatcha up to?
LouC no more work til June?....good for you!!
Hey Lou, what do you do to get out of work that long. I get off work from Oct to May, up here in tourist area.
Hey where do I sign up?
You two are too funny! :)
Girl you know how much garden stuff I could whip up with all that time!!!!
I could build all kinds of things. :*)
LOL silly girl! :)
You laugh... Think about it.... I would do a water feature...make a arbor...raise a bed...build a well
and so on ...... lolol.
Shoot, just come here and help me build all that! HA HA HA
You must understand that half of the time will be spent collecting materials from craigslist....
no way DH gonna spring for that much ~hobby~ stuff hahaha!
I already have my Arbor designed out, now I just have to get back to work so I can get the materials to build it. Then I need to order 2 loads of flat rocks and hire the bobcat to dig my water garden. Any one want to come and help? Bring hammer, strong back and money.
I got a hammer!!
That's a start come on. Hey Tammy, you got a hammer? If you do, that makes three of us and we can do some real work. We can travel to each others house and build what we need. Now we just need someone with a strong back and money.
Well, I can help out with the hammer, but I am afraid that is all I am good for right now! :( In my load of pots from our dear Shirley I also got a metal trellis, so I will have something pretty for one of my climbers! :)
Hey, cool. I use to have a clematis on one of those. I was fantastic with the amount of weight it took.
No luck with Clematis here! Darn it! But I have more than enough climbers to use on a Trellis. Just have to get DH to build me more! LOL
You gotta use craigslist and freecycle good things to be found!!
What is craigslist?
www.craigslist.org is the go to place for everything a giant classified... scroll down to free and sometime they have really great stuff you just have to be able to get it. :)

I build everything the cheap way don't you know! LOL
Robin, here is another one for our area for you to check out if you haven't come across it yet: www.rollanet.org
Oh I forgot to tell you, one time about 200 years ago I had a Mandavilla Alice DuPont growing up the wires holding up a telephone pole in the backyard which was quite a task and took a year or more but finally took hold and was about ten feet up there blooming like crazy. The bottom was just a thin stem for about 2 1/2 feet and George went out and mowed the lawn and you guessed it..... cut right thru the stem and severed the mandevilla at the bottom! I of course, didn't notice right away and wondered why the plant was starting to look not so good. :)
Just how old are you? Bad George. Baaaddd George.
Oh I bet you were very upset when you realized that one! LOL
I work the registration desk at Dallas Market Center. Wholesale Super Market in January and June. Many smaller markets all through the year. We are retired but that is a really big joke. Just wait until it is your turn. You will be looking for work too.
17º here this morning! Man I need some warmth!!!
POURING beautiful rain about 12 degrees below normal (about 58F now) with snow level expected to fall to 3000 feet. The mountains and High desert will be white tomorrow. Last year we had a 100 year record low of 2 1/2 inches, hence the fires, we are on track for above average (15"). 2004-5 we got 40".
Do you have a snow mobile?
Hi all! We are enjoying 60º weather, for now anyway! Got to play outside yesterday and it was so nice! Suppose to have that again today, but it is then suppose to start raining and get yucky all over again. COME ON SPRING!
Gonna be coooooooollllllllllllddd tomorrow!! And I go back to work tomorrow too!! WAHHHH!!!
No, it has reversed here, it is very nice outside and yesterday was dreary! LOL
We had rain today for a little while, but this afternoon was so nice! It's pretty warm here but have a cold front coming in Thurs. It will cool down some, I think 34 Fri morning, but then will warm back up by the weekend! Hard to believe that Spring (March 21) is really only 7 weeks away! It won't be long!
I can't wait either, Jeanne!!!! It went from 68º down to 18º in no time flat, and snow! BRRRRRRRRRRR WAY TOO COLD NOW!
That is a drastic change! 18 is definately cold!!!!! Even when it is 38 here it just cuts right thru me. Our cold weather makes me very achey, so there is no way I could take it being 18! I'd have to hybernate (sp?)!
Yes it sure was, and I was out taking my son to have his cast put on at the time, wearing crocs, those shoes with holes in them, no socks, nuttin! My toes were froze by the time we got home! LOL It has been holding steady at 16, with a feels like zero. I had to put my warm fleece jammies on, and of course, socks! LOL I wish I could hibernate! HA HA HA Or better yet, move to Texas, or Florida, or Hawaii, etc..... Well, it sounds good anyway! :)
Hawaii does sound great! But since I have family here, my Mom, children, grandchildren, it's not a reality, plus the fact that I just wouldn't be up to the occasion anyway. But it's a wonderful dream!
Oh yes, a very nice dream it is! I don't know that I could move away from my kids either once they are gone from home, but ya never know if they decide they are, maybe they will move somewhere warm! LOL
