Last week we got down to 38F with a frost warning for the next night. Prior to that we had gotten down into the mid-40's, but all the trees were acclimated, so I left them out. I was leaving on a business trip that day, so I brought in all my citrus trees, leaving the potted herbs to fend for themselves. It never got below that 38 degree mark and the following weekend warmed up into the mid-80's. So, I moved several, but not all, of the trees back out onto the deck. Four of the new trees, all one year old, are staying in the south-facing window on the third floor, where I kept my original trees last year. The Australian finger lime is in the new room I built on the south side of the house, where I temporarily moved the other trees. The ones on the deck will move back into that room, when we get another cold snap, probably in a couple of days. I'll keep moving them in and out, until the weather turns cold for good. It's not too bad now, since they are only in 12-inch pots. Will be fun, once I transplant them into larger pots next year. One thing I learned is that I may have to prune next year to be able to move them in and out. The older trees already barely fit through the door, and I knocked off a lime fruit in the last move (bummer). How do others move their larger trees? narcnh

Chris, I would be interested in any tomato seeds that you may have extra of. My hubby and I were just talking about what to put in the veggie garden last night. My family likes canteloupe, watermelon, tomatoes, cumcumbers, and green beans. Would be interested in anything unusual, fun for the kids! But if you've got everything ready for Patty, or have it mailed, please don't worry about me!! I wasn't able to send to everyone either. I really wanted to though!! Patty, I'm going to have my daughter mail off my seeds today. I'll post when they've made it to the P.O. Have a good day everyone! Karen

Good Morning :) WHEW!!! I am so pooped out with all of the fun things I have been doing lately~~~I really live a boring, quiet life, but lately WHEW!!!! My DD and I had a great time in Santa Barbara at her swim meet~~~ages 18-80!! Seeing the older gals in swim suits and having so much fun and looking so healthy is really inspiring!! They all have such good body image, in the dressing rooms walking around in different stages of their nakeness, not sure I feel that good about my body:( I want to tho:) My weigh in was good, I am down another 1.2 pounds?? How can that be?? I ate so off the program last week with my visitors and all:( I did eat breakfast and lunch good, and when we whipped out the snacks I never ate like I would have before WW's:) As I was driving away from my meeting I was thinking WOW how much junk and extra calories I must have been eating in the last few years to be carrying so much extra weight!!! I am down 22.5 pounds YAHOOO!!! I feel so great!! Down about 4-5 more pounds than I even planned on:) AND the best part is I do not even feel like I have been dieting, just eating healthy!! I just hope I can keep it up:) Since I do not feel hungy or deprived of any foods I think I should be able too eh??? I have two vacations planned one at the end of July with my DH going up to Tahoe~~~two days after we get back from there my DD and I are leaving for a world swim meet in Palo Alto Cali @ Stanford U~~~we will be there for 4days and 3nights then on to San Francisco for 3nights:) That my diet friends will be the big test!! If I get through all of those days eating out and all of the temptations of vacationing I will know forsure I have made a lifestyle change:) I did not make it to CRUVES at all last week, except to weigh in, my pre weigh in before going to WW's for my weigh in LOL!!! But, I was walking and running around everyday so I guess that has to count. I will get back on track tomorrow:)

Well, I'm not one to take offense very easily and I love when you can turn a food into something to laugh about as well as enjoy, like the dirt balls, mentioned above. Worms n dirt is another thing I've seen that might make someone squeamish. We made "cat poop cookies" once for our daughter to bring to school for a Halloween party - they're just chocolate cookies, but they do look like cat poops and you serve them in a bed of grape nuts cereal to duplicate kitty litter, and serve them with a kitty scoop! That being said, however, so much pain has been caused and so many families destroyed by the drug "crack", which is the first thing most people would think of, I have to agree that I think it's an extremely poor choice for a name for a pie. And THAT being said, it could be called diamonds sprinkled over the steely abs of Till Lindeman, and I STILL ain't paying $44 for a pie!!!!!!!! Lisa
