This would be a "Hippie Bloomless Christmas" for me. I got to control my CHAD really good this year I guess. Yayyyyyy!!! Hippies are still nicely zzzzznoring in the garage. One of my clivias decided to provide me with some flowers though. From Maria and Kaya... "WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST OF THE SEASON FILLED WITH LOVE, PEACE, AND GOOD HEALTH !!!"

Merry Christmas Renee, and all the best in the new year! May all your roses (and Lilies, Iris, etc.) bloom their heads off, your hoses behave themselves, and only the good bugs visit your plants. :-)

Hope everyone had a safe and Merry Christmas. DH said the best Christmas present he could be given was making it home alive late Christmas Eve. He was really afraid he would never see Texas and home again. Will update on what all happened in next day or so. Has anyone heard from Janis, or George and Leone? Lilo, that cat is just so cute!

Merry Christmas to you all! We had a warm Christmas here as well. My family members were able to gather outdoors even! This was such a nice relief since I had almost 30 guests over for dinner last night and every inch of my house was packed! Today it is 50F/10C here and should climb to 63F/17C, however all the warm days are coming to an end. Looks like flash flooding will begin today and the temps will begin to drop and old mother winter will be rearing her head finally, freezing and below freezing temps next week. Hope you all have a happy and safe New Year! Thank you all for your friendship, your advice, and most of all your kindness and understanding. Tracy
