Congratulations ImHappy. will have to look up what you bought. Not familiar at all with the name. I have had my car over two years and still do not know how to work all of the bells and whistles. I have been good and finally tonight I glued the last piece of fill in for the hallway wall. Now to do the top part of the arbor then the pond plants grout all of it and I will be done. Not sure I will get it done by March which will be the three year point of starting. course I did not work on it constantly all that time. I finally feel like I made some progress. Happy to be back to creating again and not just filling in background. PHEW it will still be a long time before I see ground around here except for my driveway which I kept shoveled and it has melted about 85% of it. The walkway from front door to garage was terribly slick so I threw down some kitty litter on it. That really helped and I managed to get my trash out to the garage and also walk to the post office. The storm coming through gave a break today and was mostly freezing rain. Why everything is so slick.

To You and everyone here as well. Thanks LL. To anyone reading before I edited it. Blinking Spell Check. Rick

Librarian-gardner - what is that plant? Not familiar with it... I went to Trader Joe's a couple -3? weeks ago and right at the front door they had these gorgeous Hellebores in pots! 10 bucks! 6" pots, 12" high plants - phenomenal! I got 3 - all different - I have a couple of kinds in the ground, but i might keep these in pots to put by my front door in prime real estate when they bloom next winter. They are very moody looking... I don't have any roses blooming at the moment - pruning them all now - but the pictures you folks are showing are gorgeous! Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! I too would take that kind of a box of chocolates! Bonus they aren't even bad for blood sugar. Exactly the opposite in fact.
