And the same to you, NHBabs! I'm grateful for the warmth and sharing that characterizes this forum, and I'm grateful that the midwest snowstorms have not come east.

I’ve been wondering today why, when I was a kid, no one explained to me that all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes were New World ones, from the corn and potatoes and squash that came up from Central and S America via Native American trade routes, to the turkeys I saw walking down the road yesterday, to the cranberries out in front of the place we’re staying here in Wellfleet. Hope everyone battens down and rides out this crazy gale we’re getting. Happy Thanksgiving!

http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/exchind/ There is a list of all the exchanges at that link. I posted my seeds on THE SEED EXCHANGE. I am also participating in THE ROUND ROBIN EXHANGE. There are a lot more. I did get some mileage at the seed exchange for what I had to trade and I can't wait to see what I get from the round robin! I am really new to the trading thing. A lot of people mention when you do not have a trade list on your profile. I could not find how to do that at first, but it was pointed out to me to use the Member Pages at the bottom of the page and then edit your exchange list from there. You probably know all that, but I thought I would put it up for anyone else that needed to know like me. :)

Thinking the same here, Claire--came up the hill at the end of my road yesterday and there were about 20 of them crossing from west to east. I stopped my car and waited for them but of course they got nervous and a few went back the way they came. A second or two later they changed their minds and went after the rest. All I could think was, "Don't they KNOW what day it is?" First time I've ever seen so many at one time. Enjoy the sunny day and mild temps everyone. We won't get many more like this one.

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

Yep, Luvs. I'm still your friend. Tho quite jealous at how naturally you took to the art of setting wonderful tables. LOL. And you must mean my kitchen table that sits in front of the bay window to the backyard. I really haven't a clue why dishes scare me so much. Other than I'm over 60 and never played with them before. My adversion to cooking and kitchens is well known, tho I do manage to feed my Dad and husband. LOL. Who both like plain and simple things, thank heavens. But no one in my family did big entertaining or fancy settings, and growing up I spent every moment I could with animals and outside. Still prefer that. Tho I will be "outside deprived" now till end of OCT. Its over 110 here and will get worse. I have set out some dishes and tried to figure out how to make a real tablesetting, but I just am clueless to make it look right. Don't you remember my pathetic attempt at the teasetting party we had here? Arrrggghhh. I'm not scared of criticism, and everyone is super nice anyway. In fact, I'd WELCOME advice and comments!!! I would NEED them. I just need to find a little courage to try and post a picture to get that help from all of you. Now I'm stuck inside, maybe I'll do so. hugs, Karen

What gorgeous weather we had yesterday! I had to walk outside to cut some herbs and I just loved the warm breezy day. It was not really sunny, but not dark either. The sun did peek out once in awhile. I was determined to take a walk at some point, but never made it. We were just busy with company all day and then it was dark. But not getting a walk in was the only disappointment of the day, for which I am very thankful!!

Hope everyone enjoyed their day yesterday too.

Definitely thankful to still find friendly 'faces' here on the NE forum to visit with and talk gardening!

Happy Thanksgiving!

A belated Happy New Year. With a busy fall and holidays, my brain has almost completely forgotten about gardening but I did make an order with Pine Tree and the Fedco order probably needs to be sent soon.

I'm in the same boat - not a thought about gardening beyond getting the pumpkins from Thanksgiving into a vegetable bed and keeping my houseplants alive. Not even sure where the seed catalogs are. [g]

Happy New Year too! 2020 - doesn't seem possible.
