I was thinking less, too. My vandaceous orchids' roots want to be bone dry at night or the green tips turn black. On cloudy days I try to water very early so they will be dry by dusk.

Love my generator. Lovey dubby Glad I listened to you, I think!

I did romp in my snowshoes after I shoveled forever, but it wasn't much of a romp. Many big limbs are down on a huge crabapple, my fav big huge apple tree, and who knows what else out back. I used my snowshoes with a broom to knock off heavy snow on bushes, to pull out branches bent and buried in the snow on my magnolia and teenage rose of sharons. When I headed for the backyard while sinking over a foot on each step, I fell down several times and had so much trouble getting up (wrists hurt too much) (beached whale syndrome) that I abandoned the trees in back and retraced my steps back. I told my DBF that if I hadn't finally figured out how to use the broomstick for support I could have frozen to death out back since he could never have heard me over the snowblower! Crying Actually wouldn't have been a bad way to go, so I hear..... Rolling my eyes.
