A March flower garden and vegetable garden in Wisconsin:

Looks good to me:

I just got done planting all the stuff I've bought. I'd take pictures but my camera is not working:(.

The crabgrass is in the back yard, underneath 8" of snow. :o)

[malakhi]

Yuck

My sentiments exactly.

On the way in to work Friday, I passed a Bobcat parked near the street, with a "for sale" sign on it. I thought of you. :o)

I just got done planting all the stuff I've bought.

I moved the marigolds, black-eyed susans, and poppies from 2" pots into 4" pots this morning. Then I put seed for two different varieties of decorative grasses, blue sage and impatiens into the starter pots. I also planted a compact variety of cucumber seed into a 6" pot. This kind can supposedly grow and produce cucumbers even indoors. I figure I'll be eating from my indoor garden before I have a chance to plant outside!

The second apple seed I planted has sprouted. I wasn't sure if it would, so I had just stuck it in the same pot as the other seed. When it gets a little bigger, I'll move it into its own pot. I might keep one as a bonsai, and plant the other one in the yard when it gets big enough. I'll have to see how hardy this particular variety is to the cold. I'll take a picture of it once it is big enough to look interesting.

I'd take pictures but my camera is not working:(.

Did you try changing the batteries? I know my digital camera burns through them like crazy. I replaced them again this morning before I took those pictures.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

We are not sure if it is the battery. The camera just won't turn on at all. But Mack thought the battery would go out slowly. This thing was fine one minute, then shut off on it's own and won't come back on. Do you think that could be the battery.

That's exactly what mine does when the batteries go out. I'd try changing them with fresh batteries, and see if that makes the difference.

Even when the camera is sitting on the shelf, it is drawing a charge off the batteries. I'm thinking about taking the batteries out between uses, since I don't use it all that frequently. Mine takes regular AA's.

After being on the San Francisco Giants fan roster the past three seasons, I entered 2005 spring training as a free agent. After reviewing the possibilities by reading the Sporting News annual baseball preview guide, I have decided to sign a one year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, and my agent is exploring the possibility of a long-term deal. I was looking at getting closer to home, and the Chicago Cubs were a possibility. But the natural Wisconsin-Illinois rivalry ruled that out. Since St. Louis is another sports rival with Chicago, they win out on the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" grounds. Now, the Cardinals did beat the Brewers in the 1982 World Series, crushing my childhood baseball dreams. But after 23 years, and 11 years of fan free agency, I'm finally able to let that go and sign with my former rival. Here's to a long and successful relationship! :o)

Gavin is still a diehard Yankees fan, though. The Brewers play the Yankees this season in interleague play, and we have tickets for one of the games the Yankees will play in Miller Park this June. It is the first time the Yankees have been to Milwaukee since the Brewers moved to the National League.

Adrienne likes the Angels because their color is red, and their "A" logo is the same letter as the beginning of her name. ;o)

congrats uncle Vince. :-)

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

This camera takes a special kind, its a rechargeaable kind, lithium.

Becky

[malakhi]

Thanks Steven! :o)

[malakhi]

Hmmm... You haven't had it that long. I wouldn't think a lithium battery would conk out that quickly.

Did you happen to pull out the directions? ;o)

[IMRight]

I'm an uncle again! 5 weeks early...

Congratulations!

[malakhi]

Thank you! :o)

[Invincibly Ignorant]

Check out the Soggy pickmeister goin' to town. :-)

[malakhi]

Not that I plan on spending the next four days gloating, or anything... ;o)
