Andi -
Your BF sounds wonderful! I wish I could get mine to help me dig the holes!!
And how are you & Chelle faring with the weather? I know from the news that y'all must be totally socked in and digging yourselves out. Us here.. with all my preparation for winter.. well, I'm wearing a 1/2 sleeve shirt, highwaters, black loafers, & no jacket. It'll be in the 60s today.. last night at 7:30 at night it was still 57. One of the driest winter seasons on record.. by this time we should have gotten at least 12" of snow. We've recorded almost 1.2 inches. Big woop. Watered almost all day Sunday.. if it's still in the 50s when I get home from work this evening I'll water the front yard (won't take as long as the back).
