Kristy your green Oxalis you shared with me are really starting to grow and multiply in the flowerbeds already. Yes the leaves do get huge compared to the green ones. Do you want me to find some for you? Deb they learned to disguise themselves and are not the green little guys anymore lol. Lucy

Good morning everyone! Lucy that is a pretty dahlia..We picked up some tubers this weekend while we were out and about...I saw on the weather channel it was in the 80s in texas yesterday..Isnt that spring? Lol We had a nice day it was 60 yahoo..Spring is here :) Good luck dorothy on your dahlias.... All the seeds I traded for and bought this year and I forgot my impatiens..ahhah I need a new brain...

Ok, I pooped out much too quickly and wasn't getting anything done and the sod cookie mystery got me so here is what I think happened. They didn't have self rising flour back then so could it be soda and they forgot to write the a ? I found this recipe but doubt its the same as yours but the only one that had anything like sod in it, lol. It does say on most they can be made up to a month early and are better with age as Lucy said. I ate nearly my whole bag of candy and the orange last night, lol. Thanks again. Here is the recipe I found. Sounds yummy. 8 ounces candied citron 4 ounces candied orange peel 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon ground cardamom 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon aniseeds 5 eggs, separated 2 tablespoons butter (at room temperature) 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar 2 to 3 tablespoons milk Additional confectioners sugar Coarsely grind citron and orange peel with grinder fitted with coarse blade; set aside. Sift flour with cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda and pepper. sprinkle anise seeds over flour mixture. Set aside. In large mixing bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat egg yolks with butter and lemon peel until smooth. Reduce speed to low and beat in granulated sugar. Set aside. Beat egg whites in clean mixer bowl with electric mixer or by hand until stiff peaks form. On low speed of electric mixer, gently fold reserved egg yolk mixture into beaten egg whites. Blend in reserved flour mixture, using your hands. Blend in reserved coarsely ground candied citron and orange peel. Shape dough into balls the size of a small walnut; place balls, 1 inch apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Let stand, uncovered, 8 hours, or overnight. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes or until double in size and lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets and let cool to room temperature. Mix confectioners' sugar with enough milk to form thin glaze; drizzle glaze over cookies. If desired, after glaze has hardened, shake cookies gently in paper bag containing additional confectioners sugar.

This is not the first time I've seen people reporting problems with getting onto this site. It makes me curious about the various ways people seem to access this site. I use the 'Your Topics' feature here and followed all the ones I like to visit, so they're all in the lefthand sidebar, and all I need do is click on one to go there. I have no problem with a forum not being accessible, unless, as I stated, the site or my internet is down. I have one forum/topic (FL Gardening) bookmarked in my bookmarks bar on my iMac desktop's Chrome browser and it always works, unless the entire site's down for some reason. On my Android mobile phone Chrome browser, I use the frequently visited sites displayed on the new tab page and this forum is the one linked. Can some of these glitches be chalked up to an older OS or not having the latest update installed? Or could it be specific to servers/devices? IOW, what kind of internet service or device is being used? All my devices are set to automatically update, BTW. I also realize sometimes it's an update that causes a problem.
