    Would have been on yesterday but lost power about 8:30 yesterday morning and didn't get it back on til around 2. The cold temps created the problem with the power lines.

    Jazzy, I saw on some thread that you had bought a pot of tulips.  I decided that I needed tulips too.  Mine are medium purple, and they are making me smile.  You have great ideas.  Thank you.  I think I need to treat myself to flowers more often!!!

    While checking out of the grocery store, I saw a rag mag that said that GC left Amal.  Teka is that true.

    Hi Blondie and M0mmy and everyone. 

    M0mmy, you Connecticut residents, well all northeasterners, have had a bunch of ugly winters in recent years.  The pictures are staggering ... I live in the high desert, so the comparison is dramatic.  A warm spell caused flowering plum trees to bloom in some places near my house.  History says that we will get freezing temps at some point.  I hope the trees can adjust.  Today I saw daffodils blooming in a yard I passed on my walk.  My crocuses are blooming but not my daffs.

    Had a quick dusting of the white junk overnight. Hoping that with the temps getting warmer in the near future what's on the ground will go bye-bye!

    Sally, yes, I saw these at Whole Foods last weekend for $7.99 and said "you are coming home with me!" They were in the midst of a whole bunch of daffodils, but spotted them and got asked all along the way through the store where I got them.

    Mommy- spring is less than 30 days away, daylight savings is in 10 days. Whoot whoot.

    And Sally, GC left Amal? I heard some speculation she might be pregnant. Teka will tell us what is going on for sure!

    I found Seven cream was by far the best for radiation "burns"

    I am settling in slowly but got lots going on here and had lots of medical appointments, feeling exhausted.............but things all seem ok......diet has gone to pot, as in eating wrong things and really craving chocolate............

    Lily- you are still adjusting to a lot so be patient with yourself. You do sound better though, I think changing what you did is helping.

    I think there is something about if you are craving chocolate, you actually may be deficient in the mineral magnesium. I heard that again just the other day. Then again, chocolate just takes good too!

    Sally- okay I found the article on GC and Amal. Something about her not like his Hollywood friends.

    Lily, chocolate is a mood lifter so enjoy!  Hope you get some rest and feel better.

    Jazzy and Sally, I love tulips!  Very cheerful.  Maybe I will get some too.  Especially since it is so cold here Spring won't come until late April early May.

    Good night everyone!

    Good morning hermits. Here is my patio this morning in New Mexico. Big storm came in that started Thursday night and continued through this am. My part of town got a good 9 inches between Thursday night to this morning. The area closer to the mountains go more like a foot. We have not had a big snow storm since 2006. Mountains get the snow here, we usually get an inch or in the valley, but rarely this much.

    Just so you northeast folks don't feel like you are the only ones digging out.....

    Sun is out and it will be all melted by end of the day. That is the good thing about here. High elevation and lots of sunshine means the snow won't stay for long (except in the mountains where we like it.....)

    Jazzy, I wrote a long pm but it was deleted - I am limited to 5/day I guess. I had double as well in first surgery! I will pm tomorrow!

    Hope it keeps on dripping down there (and here)!

    Daisy- no worries. Relax and enjoy your day.

    Cami- this is another one for Joey, but heck for all of you. Listen to these kids jam out on Led Zepplin care of NPR. I am totally liking how the drummer got their beat down.

    Good morning hermits- it has been quiet on this thread this week. Not many posting. I hope everyone is doing okay? If you are out there lurking, say hi!

    Mommy- what are plastic canvas projects?

    Bippy- are you recovering from your rads and is the skin feeling better? How is the visit with your friend going (or how did it go if she went home?)

    Mags is down to the last of her treatment and worn down. That much I know. Sending love and energy to get through the last of it.

    Onco- I hope you are feeling better from the stomach and other issues.

    Lilly- how are the plans coming along for the new sanctuary? Are you feeling more settled in the new space?

    Cami- hope you are doing okay. Thinking of you and Joey.

    Teka- it's March and that means spring is around the corner. We be into will into the gardens soon. I love the pic of Teka and the daffs too. Those yellow tulips I bought last week are open and so beautiful and aromatic too!

    Ducky- are you still out there? How is Stella?

    Sally- did you get yourself some flowers yet?

    Blondie- I hope you are continue to heal and the ankle is better?

    Daisy- good morning and hope you have a good day today.

    Looks like some more moisture over night, in the form of rain. We are now over freezing this morning. Sounds like we will dry out but it is returning on Monday.

    Wishing everyone a good Sunday. Into March we go!

    Hi Jazzy.  This is lurker Sally hoping that everyone has had a restful week end and that everyone has some especially happy moments this week.

    I forgot to water my pot of pretty light purple tulips.  At least I think it was lack of water that made a few of the leaves turn yellow tan.  Usually I over water plants, so I was trying not kill the tulips with too much water.  Even with some yellowish leaves, I am enjoying them.  Unlike Jazzy's tulips, mine do not have any smell.

    M0mmy, I too am curious about plastic canvas projects.

    Bippy, Mags, and Onco, I hope healing comes soon.  

    When I think of healing, I now think of the emotional as well as the physical.  Emotional issues are still a big part of my life.  How I have changed.  I finished active treatment a year ago.  

    Teka, I planted crocus bulbs in one of my whiskey barrels.  Only yellow ones have bloomed.  I thought I was planted mixed colors. 

    Lili, please keep us posted on the progress of your sanctuary project.

    Cami, did I read somewhere that you are now covering phones for two companies.  Maybe it's time to train a helper ... Joey?

    Blondie, are you home?

    Daisy and Ducky, I hope you will both add an update soon along with other posters who are reading.

    I spent some time today retyping a family oral history.  The original document is single spaced, and my copy was copied on a very old copier; you know the smeary kind.  My eyes are crossing.  I am using larger type, more paragraphs, 1 1/2 spacing, and two returns between paragraphs.  I feel like I am meeting a great uncle and a great grandfather that I never knew.

    Bye for now ...

    Sally, very sweet of you to invite me to post!

    Jazzy, love the Lucy comic.

    Teka, snowmen safe here - still snowing :) - crocuses will not be blooming for a while :(

    All Hermies, Hope you are warm and dry, enjoying life inside. I am having an oophorectomy tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM! After a bit of a snooze, I will be back to post messages.

    Blondie- glad you are heading home. I bet your kitten will be glad to see you for sure! It will be nice to sleep in your own bed.

    Daisy- will be in your pocket tomorrow.

    Sally- I put my tulips in the bedroom near the window and they opened wide up this weekend. I cannot believe how fragrant they are.
