No prob! I like words, and names for things. I get razzed a lot about it. Grin

It finally quit raining about noon Sat. and then I thot we were going to get blown away. The greenhouse was rockin and rollin! Yest was beautiful, cool. Heavy frost last nite and cool today—supposed to get up in the low 60’s.

Gabz! You have GOT to start growing violets. They make awesome jelly. I have a whole lawn full of wild ones. :)

No Poppies here, yet. I have a few of the Oriental types in red and peach, and I’ve been “seeding” the meadow with the standard orange California Poppies, (you know...that meadow that doesn’t belong to me?)...with poppies and all manner of stuff for years.

I’ve only gotten a few poppies to thrive; too much competition from the other floral and fauna. ‘The Meadow’ needs a good burn, but I’m not going to go THAT far, LOL!

Looking forward to Spring and Dandelions, believe it or not. I’m down to my last few sips of Dandelion Wine, and my last two bottles of Rose Petal Liquor. I plan on scarfing up as many rose petals from work as I can to make more. (We don’t spray them once they get to us. They come to us in bud, so no problem, re: chemicals.)

I need to get bizzy! (Like I won’t be putting in 60 hour weeks starting tomorrow. Grrrrr!)
