good days

18 years ago

I've got bare feet (dirty of course), I was weeding this afternoon, and tomorrow I'm going to see a nice botannical garden where ther will be trees with leaves, green grass, and blooming flowers.

I'm in Florida and I'm warm!!!!!

I've brought DH's laptop and I'm being sneaky and leaching off the neighbour's internet connection, so I can still stay online. That's nice - the neighbours didn't used to have a connection, and my parents still dont have one, so I've had to live in a weeklong communications blackout every other time I came down. I am a well and truely hooked internet junkie :-)

Boy did I ever pick the right week to be away!!

I finally got to go to Selby Gardens today. Here's a few pics to remind you that it's not all snow and ice!

I wish I could send you all some real sun and warmth instead of just the pics!

Thanks for the pictures Bonnie .. just seeing them helped to warm up my feet :o) Just the thought of the sun washing over my pale face makes me feel like jumping in the car and heading some place warm :o)

Bonnie,I'm dying of envy! We are in the middle of a snowstorm today! I have made my first stab at winter sowing and have included the Sask lily seeds which you were so kind to send me. They are out there somewhere under a drift! Oh me ,oh my (worry,worry,worry) LOL
Enjoy every minute of that warmth! Martha

I seem to have picked a cold week to visit Florida. It's been about 18-22C for most of my trip but today it was only 11C. I didn't really mind since I would be freezing my butt off in -11C if I was home, but it would be nice if it was warmer!!

Only one more day of sunny warm (sort of) weather before I have to head home and put my boots back on :-(

Laura - I hope you get warmed up at least a little bit! I sure am glad not to be up in that cold you've had the last week!

Mora - at least that snow will help insulate things. There's always a silver lining to every storm! I wouldn't mind getting a good foot of snow myself. Oh good lord! What am I saying!!!!!!
