**doink** where have I been??
Anita -- when i looked at your city, i didnt think you had moved.
I checked... i went from 5a to 5b ... don't think that is much of a difference.
I think this winter i'm about a zone7.
I was out pulling weeds today, the ground was in fabulous condition for digging, nice and fluffy. not frozen one iota.
warm up starts again tomorrow....
