Debi and Debbie, I have planted seeds outdoors also. I got behind in the winter sowing in containers so I figured I would just try direct sowing on some of them and see how they do. I have noticed larkspur and love in a mist coming up from last seasons seeds so hopefully some of these I am putting out will take off too. My daffodils are starting to open up all over so it is starting to look like spring here. Also the Bradford pear tree is budding out. Of course Oklahoma has a lot of last minute freezes so I am hoping that the cold doesn't get everything. I plan to finish off the last of the winter sowing I was going to do and then I guess I will start planting seeds indoors on window seals. I really do like starting the little plants myself. I know that it doesn't really have a lot to do with me, but I feel just like a proud parent whenever my seedlings turn into plants and bloom.

Hi Darlene! I did receive your package. The Almond Roca you sent has already been consumed. That stuff is so good. The kids have eaten their candy too. I haven't had a chance to use the Xyron sticker maker yet. But, I just got off for the holidays. So,perhaps we'll get time to figure it out and play. I put the herb garden light in my sunroom. Its not so sunny this time of year though. That light might be the brightest thing out there. I put on my fluffy socks and read my Birds and Blooms right away. I love those fluffy socks. They are so soft! The envelopes and photo album will come in handy. I have more people to take pictures of now. Please take care of yourself and have a wonderful holiday. I have enjoyed having you as a Secret Pal. I do hope we can continue to correspond and keep intouch now that the swap has ended. The whole family would like to thank you for all you've done for us. Merry Christmas, Leann
