The day is almost over but I do hope there are still many out there who are celebrating this evening with their loved ones. I have been having fun sending Ecards to all those I love. Received a couple too.

This year I went and treated myself to another Amaryllis – an Orange one in a box. When I opened it it had already bloomed and the flowers were dead and all curled up. I was so disapointed, but planted it anyway. Surprise! It sent out another stalk and here is what the looked like. Gone now but I enjoyed it while it lasted.

I have been procrastinating for months now in putting all the pixs I took over the Summer of what flowers I had. Today I decided it was long enough and did it

Still have to do the ones I took for the Fall, but it was good to look at these and remember what was growing in the garden. With the temps warming up again, and the sun attempting to shine more often, I start to think of outside and how my garden is going to be once again. Wonder just how much of it survived this winter and how much I will have to replace. Part of the fun of gardening I guess.

I received this link in my mail – just awesome photos. I am not sure if the person who has put them in his album really is the one that took them, as several of them were on the news while it was going on, and said they came from many different people all claiming they took them.  Regardless, they are well worth seeing.

This was about a week ago, when we were having cold nights, foggy mornings and beautiful sunshine in the afternoon.

I seem to be spending a lot of my time just trying to catch up with a lot of people online, feel as if I am so scattered in my thoughts – too much input? I am having a blast though and also playing all those Facebook things we can get into hahaha – I am not sure what I am doing there, but am addicted for now anyway.

A while back I saved some pics from the dinner Elmer and I were treated to as a late Christmas gift. Never did get around to putting them in a blog, so guess I should do so now?

So yummy and I ate a lot of it!

This was my food – the other plate choices eaten are in my photos. I have tried to put them all together as an album in Xanga but there does not seem to be a special link here to show them, so if interested guess you will have to look for them
