Good morning everyone.. Its cold and wet here so nothing is getting done outside. Even down in the roofed shadehouse its too cold and damp to stay out there.

Colleen, all your plants are looking great. I see no sign of any flowers on the winter hippie here, as yet. It has flowered each year so far.
Your brugs are looking very full of flowers.

Moon, very pretty daylilies. Hubby had heaps of gladioli here before I met him. He gave them away but the odd one used to pop up. None lately though. I do have a few of the dwarf ones which I like better as I dont have to stake them. (pic below of the pretty bright pink/purple species gladiloli )

Anthony, you keep that fire going down there. I love the smell of the pine and apple tree wood is quite nice too.

Charleen, I sent Charley home with a bag of cookies to share with the other longears. I am sure TBo and the feathered ones will help themselves.
Your relish sounds delicious.

I have the slow cooker on at the moment. Its been going all night with a lovely ham & vegetable soup.
Just a dash of Cajun seasoning too.
I love to use all different herbs and spices when cooking.
Hubby never knows just what he will get for lunch.

Teresa, hope you are keeping warm .

Dianne. make sure little Tilly has her coat on. It must be freezing there too.

I will leave a cake out for everyone to share. Its my birthday today...

Keep warm and safe.
Jean.
