New Years Day 2006.
I wish everyone a happy new year and a wonderful year full of ponding, pottering and gardening. I hope all your fish get through the next few winter months and come through okay in spring. No doubt there will be more of you here after the winter.
Best wishes everyone.

I second all you have said Alison - good luck everyone! Pondwise, 2005 was very eventful for me - and not always in a good way! I'm looking forward to seeing how much my baby fish have grown and, hopefully, changed colour come April. Out of the wind it has been a mild day today and the fish have been swimming very close to the pond surface. It was lovely to catch a glimpse of two of the babies as well. I plan on cleaning the pressure filter on Thursday prior to going on a week's holiday and will leave the pump and filter operating during my absence. Apart from fishing out the blackening water hyacinth plants for composting I can't think of anything else that needs to be done. So I guess I'll join everyone else and hibernate for a month or two :) Tricia

OOPS!!! Sorry I didn't know that about Jan. 1 being "everybody's" birthday, if a specific date isn't given. Oh well, Happy Birthday, whenever it is. :>) Mwoods, your statement about each year bringing "joy, laughter, and some tears" is so true. None of us ever knows what's ahead for us. But, as my DH says, "It's been a trip, but I wouldn't change any of it!"

Katy, Logee's is certainly an adventure in itself. I've been going there for years. My first times were when Joy Martin was running it. Even squeezing through the aisles single file is worth it. So many exotic plants growing over, under and around! It's only about a 40 minute ride for me. I don't know of any other greenhouses that have that kind of variety. The botanical center at Roger Williams Park here in Providence is big and interesting. There's a $3 admission though. Lunch afterwards would not be a problem. Providence has tons of great restaurants. Maybe some others here would be interested in one of these or something else. Bill

I think its important as a single person to just get "out and about". I too enjoy my freedom yet would love a healthy, close relationship. My goal this year, for the first time in my 51 years of life, is to seek people out, to feed my need for belonging. I truly enjoy my own company, but we all need to get out and socialize... I agree that our New Year's resolutions should be processes...baby steps!
