Hello there, just wanted to share this with you as forum is a bit sleepy at the moment, hope the 'powers that be' won't mind? Couldn't resist a photo early this morning, the coldest so far this year as the outside temp hit 0c/32f degrees. Good job we are tucked up warm inside along with our plumies here in the UK.

Greetings to all out there, Greenclaws

Oh my gosh ladies, what sweet bird pictures. Jeanne that looks like it came straight out of 'Christmas Ideals' (do they make that magazine anymore? rememeber with the beautiful glossy perfect pictures) Love your log birdhouse. Great shot. Looks so cold and crisp. Sandy how cute. It's been forever (well more than 20 years anyway, lol) since I saw a bird with snow on it's beak like that. Used to love all the little ones that would come around looking for food after a snowstorm. Looks like a little female cardinal Enjoyed the snow pics. Donna

Selling is contrary to the spirit of the GW exchange forums, and could get me banned if I were willing to do it. To help you get started on GW exchanges, it would be a good idea to read the special instructions for exchanges here: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/excan/#exin Instruction #1 reads: "All requests must be in the context of arranging a trade. If you have nothing to offer at this time, please wait until you do." Good luck as you acquire seeds and plants to trade. If Heather in Calgary has a July newbie offer, that would be a good place to start. Since you're offering to buy my plants, I'm assuming that you're not on a super-tight budget. Why not go out and enjoy all the end-of-season sales that are on at your local garden centers? Next spring you could have a nice selection of plants (and maybe seeds) to trade on this forum.

Frosty Morning...

Last night snuck up on me, to put it mildly. I had the four strings of Christmas tree lights strung out for the last 2 months, but were not lit up last night, - the forecasters early on lulled me into a belief it would be a warmish night,..no low temps for sure. Then as I got drowsy and prepared to turn off the TV at 11 PM, here comes the Fox 4 guy with a serious look on his face. " Things changing, now looks like 37 - 39 in Englewood. That woke me up, threw on a jacket and shot out to turn on the lights and then haul in the 4 potted babies. Still a bit edgy after nodding off, I instinctively popped awake at 05:25 AM, turned on the inside lights so I could see the outside thermometer, and saw a solid 39 degrees !f that would have hung around for 2 + hours, would have messed up 4 of my young mango trees and killed the 2 potted bananas for sure. Whew,..just another 3 + weeks,..c'mon Feb 20th,...know I'm not nearly as bad as most of youse guys,..but still more than ready to chill out and stop worrying about the overnight lows. lol Now can enjoy the two NFL games today in peace !!

Hi, pleased you liked it Karyn (you have another hobby I gather). I have it as my desktop piccy. It 'lights up' a bit more on the computer. Haven't seen that view from the garden since I took it as we are now shrouded in freezing fog and can't see past my 'nose-end' never mind the hedge!
Regards, Greenclaws.

Hello to all out there. Glad you liked the pic. (seem to have got my Karens/Karyns mixed up a bit!...and that's before a festive drink! (Am tee-total actually...honest!)

We have some rellies who stay with us from time to time and they like to have the bedroom curtains open early in the morning to see the views like in the picture above.

Oh well, not long to go now is it, so I suspect the forum will be really quiet for the next few days or so. The family are due to arrive today and tomorrow so we shall have all 3 offspring plus one girlfriend here the for the Christmas activities. Think we will have a foggy Christmas not a white one here in the UK as the fog is still thick.

Hope you all have a lovely time, especially those of you with little ones, and enjoy yourselves as much as we do.

Catch up with you all next year?

Best wishes for Christmas and 2007 to you all, Greenclaws.
