So very true!

Loving those photos Margaret, especially the one of 'my window' . Yes, Debra she fudged a bit on the lights,

Margaret. Sadly, I have to put up with the sunny 73 here.

Margaret is 'baby Linda' in the green pot on the left ??? I could not read the label.

Thank you Debra, really it isn't so bad as long as you don't have to go anywhere. I went outside a few minutes ago to take more photos, in short sleeved tee, jeans and my slippers in the snow on the deck, very refreshing!!

Yes Linda, that is 'Linda Baby' in the turquoise pot on the left, she is doing great, only took 3 years from seed to bloom!

She is looking good and you are a patient woman.

That I am Linda.

Am back! Am back! woohoo!
Temps here at 39F this morning, briefly hit 61F and slightly down to 57F.

Just chilly and dry, so dry again..oh my..I hope we get some good rain soon...for the 9 days I was gone not a drop of rain here..just the on and of freeze watch.

Thankfully some cheerful blooms from my Narcissus paperwhite outdoors

Pretty flowers

@tarev Love the paperwhite picture. My mother used to have them at Christmas and I loved the fragrance. The bulbs I picked up several years ago had a different fragrance which I didn't like. I will just have to try some different varieties.

Margaret!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You came through for us!!!!!!!!!!! And MANY times too! And LIGHTS too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's gorgeous, simply gorgeous. I hear, "Walking In A Winter Wonderland". I can't believe the birdies can stand it. It looks so COLD. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. But again, beautiful!

Thank you Margaret.



Tarev, welcome home! So sorry to hear you've had not a drop in 9 days though.

Ann, thank you so much for the and tip! , for awhile there I didn't think I would be able to come through, my camera would not work at all, would not turn on or charge, so this morning I took the battery out and messed with it a bit, and finally the camera turned on and off but the battery was still flat, so I plugged it in again and happily it fully charged so that I was back in business

Beautiful, Margaret!!! I'm glad you got your camera working again!

Thank you Natalie!

I'm glad you got it working again too Margaret! It is an expensive camera & takes wonderful photos.

tarev, I'm glad to hear that you made it home okay! I'll try to send some of our rain your way. We're totally waterlogged here.

Wow Margaret, those are nice pictures but sure a lot of snow there.

Thank you Cindy. Yes we think we got about 20 inches or more, thankfully it is not snowing today, slight chance of freezing rain or ice pellets, it's only 27f so I hope not.

Snow is better than ice. Fingers crossed, Margaret.

Thank you Debra, weather sure is crazy, never know what to expect these days!

Woke up to a cold but sunny 27 this morning. Tomorrow is supposed to be even colder. Brrrrrrrrrrr Stay warm up there, Margaret -- funny, you are way up north and I am pretty far south and it's still the same temp!
