Dog gone Joy, those veggies sound so wonderful!  Let me know when it's picking time, and I'll be there to "share" the work!

Hi Everyone,

The weather has finally gotten better here too. No more freezing or even 40 degree nights. I can't believe what a cold winter we had this year. Yea, I know, I know, it doesn't compare with some of you, but for Florida it was terrible. I know that Salsen, over there in Louisianna understands what I am talking about because we complained to each other all winter, lol.

Hey Bucky, glad to see some nice weather finally made it up your way.    I remember winters in the north and I never want to see one again, brrrr.

I sure have missed you guys.   

Hugs,
quiger

I'm hoping today doesn't end because it's partly sunny and warmer than it has been the past few days.  Last weekend it was 70+ degrees here in Connecticut....so of course it's supposed to snow tomorrow! 

Love New England weather!

Awww Quiger - I think you've forgotten how much fun living in snow country is!!     Nah, I'm sure your kids keep you posted!!  Do you live in a part of FL that got snow this year?  At one point this winter, there was snow in 49 of our 50 states at one time!!     Wow!!

Wishing you a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l spring filled with green grass, budding trees, flowers sprouting, and warmer days.   

I miss you QT!!

Hugs,
Bucky

Hey Bucky,

Oh yes, I sure remember what living in snow country is like. I still worry about my son up there driving to work everyday in that mess. Actually we did get some snow. They said it was the first time since 1979. It was those great big flakes. I hate to admit it, but it was kind of cool, no pun intended. It did reach the ground and lightly covered it. I didn't mind too much because I knew it was a one time thing and probably wouldn't happen again for another thirty years. They sure thought it was a big deal down here though. You'd have thought they hadn't seen snow for thrirty years or something......oh yea they haven't lol. See? Still have my sense of humor. Some things don't change.  I took a couple of pictures for my grandson. He thought it was cool because he has never seen snow and couldn't believe snow came to grandma's house. They didn't get any in south Floida.

Our flowers are blooming and we have planted some of our garden already. The rabbits ate the eggplant leaves so we have to plant more. We planted our tomatoes from seed so they are outside now too. It's storming today so they will get lots of water. I hope you have a great spring. Before long you will hear me complaining about the heat and humidity. Yep, can't please me, lol. Take care, hope you enjoy spring break.

Hugs,

Quiger - thought of you this morning as the temperature was 29 degrees, 15 mph winds and I'm pumping gasoline without any gloves and my fingers were freezing and felt like they would snap off at any moment!!!     Don't ya secretly miss this??  LOL

My "ideal" temperature is 70-75 degrees . . . any cooler than that and I'm cold, any warmer than that and I'm hot.      Throw in the wind, sun, air conditioning, heat, etc. . . . yep, I'm never happy either.   

There won't be any gardens here for a while yet - too early for that.

Over the winter some moles had a hayday on our front property . . . there are dirt mounds e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e!!     Our cat, Spooky, isn't doing her job of keeping the mole population down!!  Somehow, we'll have to go out there and "try" and level the yard out (we don't have one of those roller thingys).  My hubby could care less about the yard - if he had his way, he'd let it grow up wild and slap up a sign "wildlife refuge - do not mow"!!  I kid you not!!   

Have a great Spring!!   

Bucky
