Per the Instructions over there on that thread. The deadline to sign up was Nov 23rd, so sign-ups are now closed. The hostess posted this in the thread yesterday. I am working hard on the address list, and will email once completed. ( yes, I am a bit behind this year, life got in the way ) We have plenty of time...I promise to have it to you no later than Dec 1st. hth. Sue...rbb

Hi Pamela! I have a couple witchhazels, I think they're just about done blooming. The native hazelnut is blooming now (weird little blooms), and my snow crocus are in full bloom, with the big crocus starting to bloom. Daffodils are mostly in full bloom, though the late ones are just now coming out of the ground. Hellebores are in full bloom, purple-leaf plums are just about in full bloom, white-flowered plums are just past peak, and Clematis armandii is starting to bloom. No roses whatsoever here. Also, some species tulips I got are starting to show color. I bought a bunch of fritillaries, and they're popping up, and loaded with buds! I just love them, even if they do smell funny. I looked on the winter chilling website put out by UC Davis (thanks Paula, that was a helpful link a few years ago!), and noticed that winters here have steadily gotten more chill, 63% in the last 6 years (from about 800 hours to 1400 hours now). I think it's true, some of the fancy tulips are coming up with buds for their 3rd year, usually a sign of good winter chill. Some magnolias are just barely coming out here, whereas in town they're in full bloom or past it. --Ron

I tried using the shower without a curtain or shower door before and I didn't like it. It was too drafty to me. If your space is so big maybe the doors would not get wet. I think if my shower were a tad bit bigger it would get steamy but not soapy. We squeegee ours and it's not so bad. And someone on here mentioned microfiber for cleaning and I wish I knew who it was so I could thank them. Cause they work great. It works just like magic eraser. Terrific ! I once did a new model house tour years ago and they had a walk in shower that went around a corner so the opening was small and then opened up to larger shower and it was tiled. It had no door and the way it was put together I am sure no draft.

Luvs....if not for Punk I would have missed this one, such a nice way to welcome spring. I'm with Anj., I like Partiotic and also birdhouses. You gernamiummmmmms are so great and everything just fits together so nicely! Reminds me that I still need to start some seeds. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming! Belle
