Ah, John...what wonderful surroundings you have to look at. I wish Spring would erupt with some intensity here...I want LEAVES on these trees...NOW, darn it.
Laurie, you know I'm thinking of you. I am a sun worshipper and sometimes worry I am pushing my luck.
Peggy..Sprite? Who in the world woulda thunk it?!
Janet, I'm just glad you're back.
I love to see all of you visiting and commenting. I must write you a story soon. I am about to start the cycling again...am sure there will be another canine adventure to document.

Oh John, those are lovely! What are the red things in the bowl?
The dogwoods have started blooming here, and the red osier dogwood has it's new chartreuse green leaves on it...with the red stems...it's one of my favorite plants! there are the wild canaries here that are almost exatly the same shade of green as the new leaves, it's perfect camaouflage for them! My magnolia is in full bloom now too, as well as the ornamental plums. It's really beautiful out now.
I really must get some pictures up to show!

Good Morning Ya'll.
One more day of dogwood winter left and things will be warming up around here this week..to be 80 in just a short few days.. It has been chilly damp the past few days, cloudy, gloomy, rainy.
The daffies have came and gone...hycianth are in full bloom, apple tree is starting to bloom, red plum is blooming, pink and white dogwoods are in bloom, magnolias are blooming, bleeding heart, txas blue bells, grape hycianth, and i have a white blooming everywhere-blub that i don't know what it is.In the sun room amaryalis is putting on a show as well as all the hibiscus.
John awsome job on the rainforest...stunning...I want my gardens to look like that but impossible. Really love the look of some of those plants/bushes you have.. Thanks for sharing pics ......all I can say is WOW man.
The Bavarian cake sounds good for sisters birthday party...Hope you all had fun
I need to check a recipe out for that... I made pineapple meraginue pie to take to the fish fry... Lil sis made kamquat pie....that was a first time trying that...I kinda like the taste for a nice citrus change.
I wrote down all your latest additions so I could do a search on them to looky see what ya have... anything fragrant sounds lovely...attempting to put fragrant in each of my garden beds...I took up the fence around the backyard/pool area...When I finish I hope to create various trellis structures to have climbers.. Still a work in the mind right now..
Hoping you are all having a wonderful week..

Hubby and I admired a sequoia at the nursery just this weekend. it was only about 4 foot high and it was $129.!! I wish I had brought back one of the pieces of wood with sprouts on it they sell all over the place down there! next time for sure! Although, the neighbour has one planted only about 10 feet from our property line, it's about 25 feet tall now, so in a few years it should be as good as mine anyway! lol....

Hello everyone ...
Just a quick hello as I've got to get started packing and have a real bad case of the nerves right now about my trip coming up. I leave Saturday!! And I still have so much to do here before I leave. Work is piling up and there's not enough hours in the day to get it all done and my personal life is in a shambles at the moment ... man, I really need this trip even if it's for work.
I don't know if I'll be able to get to this website or my email from the company laptop that I'll be taking but I know I can get on Facebook so if you want to see any pics I take or email me that's probably the best way to do it.
You have to go to Facebook.com and set up an account first if you don't already have one. I have my security settings so that only "friends" can contact me on there so you will need to send me a friend request first.
I did my shopping last night and am going to make my list of things to pack tonight. I've got last minute errands tomorrow and then start packing for real. I'll get over the jitters once I'm on my flight but in the mean time I'm going crazy!
Okay ... enough for now ... thanks for being my therapy! Catch y'all later ...

YUMMY!! thankyou PEGGY! I will be trying it this weekend! everyone here's favorite is lemon meringue, and we all LOVE pineapple anything, so this is combining the best of both worlds!!
Lemon meringue is my favorite too. My mom made one for dinner Sun. I had the last piece last night. I have some fresh pineapple cut up and another one on the counter to cut so maybe I'll try it with fresh pineapple. I just won't have the juice that's in the can. Will have to make it and bring it to work so I don't eat it all. Lost another lb so the drs office said on fri since I went last month for my cholesterol check up. I was surprised as I have not been eating that well since my drs appt. got to get back to eating healthy again and stop the donuts for breakfast that i've had a few times and the ice cream that i have started eating again.
Thanks Peggy for posting the recipe. Yes spring I think is finally here,. had alot of rain the last couple days but suppose to be in the 70-80's for the weekend. daffs are blooming, the few tulips are all budded that have escaped the deer
Nat
Will be thinking of you and like Randy said try not to worry about it all. Everything is going to work out fine and you would of worried for nothing. I know I need to take Randy's advice myself.
Randy

Rhonda
