Schoolhouse, feel free to share. Alisande she's in her early 70's there. She was a very spritely lady. She lived out on a farm by herself well into her 90's. Can I share a story or two? I remember being about 8 or 9 (early 60's) and Mom and I stop in at Great Grandma's. She's into her 80's by now and when we get there the side of her face is all scuffed up. Mom asks, "What happened Grandma!" "I fell going out to the mailbox." "Maybe you should have a cane." "Aaack, canes are for old people." Her daughter, my great aunt Marion, was 100 last October. She just moved into assisted living last July. Last Fall Bigbaby and I took her shopping for a new Winter coat. She wrote a check and of course the clerk asked for ID. She was so proud to whip out her drivers license, good until she turns 102. I hope I've inherited some of those genes. Ron

Thanks for posting all the great photos every day. I enjoy seeing them. This plant is probably not hens and chicks. It's a fast grower and usually grey, but blushes pink with more sun/less water. I don't know the name of it (or many other succulents growing in my yard). The people at the Cacti and Succulent Forum here at GW are very helpful with names. Linda

Liz GA - Seal point mitted Ragdoll? How pretty! We have a blue point mitted Raggy. He is getting old and has beginning feline Alzheimer's - don't laugh -it's real!

Nice. Cold of winter, but check out the bud - promise of Spring.
