Happy Thanksgiving! The snow has melted, but it's not going to be much of a gardening day since everything will be soggy. Still have bulbs that I dug out of front yard to plop in back yard. Eden, I wish my house smelled like pies this morning! Brenda, Hope those turkeys are thawed. If they're not, I know there'll be a good entertaining story from you later. Jerri, special thoughts to you this day. I know you will be missing Sassy, but are thankful your time with her. Martie, I just love that arborvitae hedge sprinkled with snow. Chelone, I checked our your chimney project photos and enjoyed the descriptive text too. It looks terrific and can't wait to see the mantle installed. Sue, I know how hurtful things can cast a shadow over the rest of your life, so I hope that you can shake that off as well as the cold. Consider the source is my best advice. I'm grateful that my wrist seems fine now and I didn't have to go to the Dr after all. Marian, I cringed when I read your comment about hitting the ganglioma with book! I do remember that 'treatment' for 'wens'/sebaceous cysts which are above the skin. Shudder. A ganglioma is below the skin, so there's nothing to break open externally. Oh, this is not very nice TDay talk is it lol. Monty's foot seems a bit better too. He has not slept on my bed with kitty's this week so that made me worry. This morning I invited him up, and he hurtled all 65 pounds of flailing limbs right up there. (I caught him running outside yesterday too, so figured he felt better :-) I do have appt for him at vet on Friday as we need to check out his bunny hopping on walks which is unrelated to the sore on his foot. Happy Thanksgiving from Foster Rippie, who knows how to live in the moment and be thankful for whatever he's got. Note that is a real smile on his face. Greyhounds are the only breed that actually 'smiles' just like humans do, with lips pulled back and teeth together. The clenched teeth can be scary to the unknowing :-) Cynthia

Steve, yes, it's a package you can buy with pre-programmed songs. I got it at Costco years ago. You simply plug the lights into 6 different outlets. Last year we bought a new system in which I program the lights to turn on, off, fade, twinkle, etc. on the computer. It's took a lot of work to get that done last year so I didn't get a good video of it. It's way over the top now. Must be our personalities, we've now done the same thing with our hostas that we have with the Christmas Lights. We started out with a few hostas a couple of years ago, added about 70 hostas the next, and this year added over 350. My DH is such an enabler! We have so much fun working with the hostas and the lights. Actually, I think we enjoy it a little too much, we just sold our ice cream store so that we can spend more time working in the gardens with the hostas and getting the lights up before it gets cold. The ice cream store was so interfering with our addictions! Gesila

That's a cute one Vicky! Janice

I love it!! Very funny and oh so true!
