Jamie, Ouch! I hope you keep taking care of your leg until it is fully healed. I know, there are things that need to be done!

Allison, did your snow happen?

The mountains around us got new snow last night. We have had an 18 degree night a few nights ago, the coldest one so far. The common type of geraniums (pelagoniums?) lost all their blooms and look a bit sad but they are ok. Martha Washington looks much worse but under all that brown mess she is still green. Gotta dig them out and move them all into the greenhouse for the winter. Their "pots" will be old feed sacks with the tops cut down and folded so they will stand up. The feed sacks are plastic but look kinda like burlap. Before I dig the plants I need to take some cuttings for my daughter who wanted certain colors, less chance of me getting the wrong ones before I move them.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
