Whew! My memory is getting really bad! Glad I took care of it.

We're stuck here at my daughter's. Planned on heading back home today but Mother Nature had a different idea, 7" of snow just south of here, bad weather all the way to northern TN so we're staying put another day. Just means another evening to visit with DD!

I am glad you are having a good time visiting. but the cold weather is no fun, we has a 50 degree drop from yesterday to today, so we are not liking it. Smiling

My seeds were waiting for me when I got home yesterday. Thanks so much.

We had 2 nites way below freezing for many hour while we were away. I covered what I could before we left, but the rest I just had to leave. I know 90% will come back - eventually!!!! Spring is not going to be very colorful in my front yard!!!! Perhaps I'll have to break down & get some annuals this year.
Blessed are the Quilters for they are the Piecemakers.
