Jim,
Laughing! Now that is real snow! Mine is a pathetic icy mess and like Cindy, we are gloomy today. No wind yet which really surprises me.

Temps are dropping and the weather folk say the wind will come late as the temps drop more. Raining at the moment but might turn to rain/ice/snow later. Already covered up my cold frame to conserve any warmth in there and got about 5 more gallons of rain water before the barrel freeze up again.

I have to add F to any of my temps, because it's "celcius-speak" here in Canada Rolling on the floor laughing
I'm just east of the Rockies, but we're Prairies, so that's why I'm in the MidWest.......

Love your "everything else" posting of your furries, Jim - they're adorable! Thumbs up

Where do I know you from? Your name sounded familiar first time I saw it and I'm puzzling over it.
Sweet kitties!

Cindy,
I love how you save water. My Dad does too and uses it in the washing machine. I'm surrounded by black walnuts so it's no good for me.

Susan,
When I joined Dave's in 2006, I went all over and made friends in all the states. I never stayed in the Midwest, lol!

Still gloomy here and the wind did pick up. It's hazy across the field at 29°... F :o)

Think it is raining and your going from the car , to the back door , 25 yards away with a long driveway ,
Of course playing that over and over in the imagination gets old quick ,
Maybe if you pretend your the marathon olympics champion , running through the most beautiful scenery on earth , it might help ,, Hilarious!

LOL! I've been reading seed catalogs and gardening books while I'm on there.

I read that Monsanto owns 40% of the seeds now so I have weeded out the catalogs of those they own and will not order from them. I have a few left that are on the good list.

Burpee is on the lists because they will supply seeds from Monsanto owned companies even tho they own their own business. It's a wake up call that gardeners will fight back.

Sally - thanks for posting that link. I'll check it out. Was just reading earlier how SF is suing Monsanto for polluting SF bay with PCBs. I'm not a Monsanto fan either and am gratified that fewer farmers are purchasing their seed.
