Making frozen lemonade out of lemons, eh?Sometimes I am glad to be far enough north to miss the freeze thaw thing that some of you are having. Blech.

The weather notes remind me of a funny saying a friend has about where to live. He's from Ohio but lives in Punta Gorda, FL and says he'll never live north of the signs that read "BRIDGE FREEZES BEFORE ROADWAY". That's his northern limit.
My brother in Missouri used to joke that we could save a huge amount in tax dollars if a question was included in all written drivers' tests:
"All bridges may ice in cold weather. True or false?"
Then we could take down all of those expensive signs and stop having them made.

I got my first plant catalog about 1 1/2 weeks ago....from Bluestone Perennials. The others from Burpee, Forest Farm, Klehm's Song Sparrow, and Jackson & Perkins Roses should start arriving any day now!!! I can hardly wait!!!OOh! ooh! can I see it? Which one did you get??
Johnny's Selected Seeds. 6 more arrived today. I called them all last year and had my name removed in the name of saving trees. oh well.OOh! ooh! can I see it? Which one did you get??
Through the miracles of very dry air and calm, clear skies in Central Texas:
I woke up eight hours ago, and it was 23º.
Now it's 71º.

I am finding that seeds by catalog are now too expensive for my taste. So I revert back to my local Agway farm store, right down the road. The seed variety is limited but most of the short season types are exactly right for my area.
It'll help you separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.The Garden Watchdog is a free directory of 6,578 mail order gardening companies. Here gardeners share their opinions on which companies really deliver on quality, price and service.
Seed catalogs by mail are so 90s -- as in 1890. Wouldn't the online version make more sense?
Not on a dial-up connection. All the pictures take forever to load. Besides, you can't bend down the corner of the screen to mark a page you want to come back to for another look.Seed catalogs by mail are so 90s -- as in 1890. Wouldn't the online version make more sense?
The "12th man" sign at Rich Stadium (Bullalo Bills) refers to the snow.Several cousins live in Buffalo, NY. They take their snow seriously.
"Gary, how do you cope with seven feet of snow?"
"Climb out the 2nd floor window because the front door won't open."
With that much, I'd think you'd start thinking in terms of tunneling rather than shoveling.
In Florida we rarely have bad weather ...
Didn't seem to help them on Sunday. That wind was ridiculous.The Buffalo weather can be as good as having an extra man on the football field.
Umm, how do you classify "hurricane days" ?
