I really need birthday lists for March for those that can start posting them! I want to have the page done no later than March 1st, but hopefully before for those that have early March birthdays! Please, post your lists as soon as you can! J.J., sorry for your loss... I agree with Dan and everyone... They have a special place in heaven... Kim, I'm really sorry about the computer issues. I hope you get it all ironed out soon so you can have your computer back and protected. J.J. (shropshire_lad) - Thanks so much for the marigolds and Joseph's Coat Amaranthus tricolor! I just adore the card that you sent, too! I thought the inside words had been printed from a program at first because they looked SO good! Annette (playintheyard) - Thanks so much for sharing with me the Marglobe Tomato, Israeli Melon, Collective Farm Woman Melon, and Tortarelo Melon! I giggled reading your note to me. I'll reply to you personally in a minute. :-) Sarah Kate & Nikki (nikkineel) - Awwww! I love the homemade card! I especially like the green cake as that is my favorite color! Thanks so much for the Agastache anisata, Dwarf Cherry Rose Nasturtium, Dragon Tongue Beans, and White Hyacinth Bean Vine! I can't tell you all enough how much this birthday month means to me and how special you all have made me feel! Again, WOW!!! Blessings, Angela Here is a link that might be useful: February Birthday Wish Lists

Ted, Yes, opening day sure gets them stirred up and sends them into hiding. I had hoped to maybe go during muzzle loader season, but the temps have turned off too cold for me to enjoy doing that. Carolyn, Deer are maybe just like us...some more trusting, and some more leary than others. Once while hunting, a herd came along, and they spotted me (standing there with gun leaning against a tree). They all stopped and watched me watching them for a bit, and then one started slowing walking toward me (the trusting curious one). I was starting to get a little scared when one of them turned and high tailed it off, and the rest followed it. Could that be where the term 'high tailed it' originated? feral, Is it possible that with enough onion, garlic, or barbeque sauce, one could never tell what meat they were eating? Earl, No, he didn't tie anything off, and I have never heard of doing that. In checking my ready reference guide (from a magazine), it doesn't address tying off either, nor does "The Joy of Cooking" address it. We didn't save the heart and pickled heart just doesn't sound good to me....kind of like blood sausage, squirrel heads, and buttermilk...all yucky! Bully, cute picture...but I got Bambi's dad...not pictured. Colorado, No, here we count total points...this one had 3 on each side...The one staring down at me(from the wall) is a 'nice' 12 point though (6 on each side). Ted, That makes me wonder about the different tastes of wild versus tame rabbit(my most favorite meat). They definately have different tastes. Would their tastes best be described as wild and tame? My experience with tame, was that it tasted a little sweet IMHO from what I remember. Land, That's scary! It makes you wonder how many assaults there were that didn't result in death, and how many folks are killed each year as a result of vehicle/deer collisions. Earl, now I want to know how many were taken in Indiana. Sue

Hi Everyone, I am really new to GW, just today. I live in Altona, up near the Canadian Border. Just retired in April and have a lot a time to spend on my gardens. I wish we had a place to have a swap around here it would be great. Most of my perennials came from my niece in Syracuse, when I started gardening I went to her house and got some cuttings from her. Now my plants are so hugh I have to transplant and have given a lot of them away. Since I retired I put in a new raised bed of shrubs and I love it, already have plans for a another new shaded garden next year. I am getting rid of my last annual garden, planted some perennials in it this week and added some bulbs, now I will only add some annuals for color. Saves a lot of money. If anyone in area would like to swap just contact me. Terry
