*"My god, is that snow?" (Doing my best impression of PondmaninFL): Is that what that was??? I had no idea!!! Amazingly, that's only 17 miles from Semperville and we didn't see any snow here last week (just some ice). Of course, I thought it was rough out there yesterday until I saw somebody had posted from my mountain bike club from their ride just north of here on Saturday. ___________________________________________________________________ ADEMINKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! My hats off to you for your dedication to a great cause. But I just gotta ask.... who's your friend in that picture in the lower/right corner of ?!?!?!?! 8-))) __________________________________________________________________ Bonz wrote: "I'm sure we'll hear about how the weather was a factor.

Go figure! ___________________________________________________________________ Brandy I gotta agree with you.... that guy's left foot WAS out of bounds. Not on the initial catch.... but as he intercepted the ball he then slid his left toes back which appeared to touch the sideline. Inconclusive evidence, I guess. _________________________________________________________________ Chickadeedeedee, you found my one and only soft spot. Maybe it's just me but I can't think of a better way to spend that winning than the USO! :-))) I'll up the ante to $50 on behalf of Camp Nappy Resort & Entertainment Center and Birdie B&B. God bless.

Mariann - I'm sorry that you lost so many plants last year. I remember Tracy telling me that she was trying to help you replenish. This winter I probably lost 1/2 of my Heuchera. They didn't appear to heave (as we know they are apt to do in the winter) but they're just "gone". I don't have the knack that our friend Tracy has for this particular plant! Denise - I didn't mean to imply that I thought you had only joined in on that one swap. I was just remembering that trade specifically and how crazy-confused we were! LOL! It sounds like you are waayy ahead of me on getting things ready for the growing season. Congrats! It must be that sweet little helper you have. She probably gives you the edge. :0) Hi, Margaret! I'm with you. I have so much to do to catch-up that I feel a little overwhelmed too. And, as usual, we have enough summertime projects planned/underway to keep me hopping even without all of the garden/landscaping ideas! (Big sigh) Maybe someday we'll be caught up again... Hi, Shirley! It's good to hear from you too. Just yesterday, I was thinking of you when I saw the daylily ('Mona Twirler' I think) you sent me last year as a game prize. Spring came early here this year and it's already about 8 inches high. I agree with everyone that postage is getting too high to make swaps as viable as they used to be. I just said the same thing to Vic in an e-mail the other day. Maybe instead of swapping each month we could do one in the spring and one in the fall and spend the rest of the time chatting, sharing pics and tips with an occasional game thrown in the mix? (Just throwing around ideas. It's great to have other gardeners to chat with and we've gotten to know one another enough that it would be a shame to lose touch.) I guess I've rambled on enough for now. Pat
