sik the cat on him Anita....

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

getting faster, there goes the spelling tho - minus style points

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

Al, how many times do you need to be told, I don't type good and my speak isn't much better, and just ferget the spellin thing altogether!

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

just grunt than I guess.

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

I can however out run, out dig, and out smart you in every other way.

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

Yadda yadda yadda

actually you could out dig me that's fine.

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

ok I'm kidding!
I think your great!
I wouldn't give you six million dollar gardener, maybe two...
I think your son is cute and his car came out awsome!
Did you win?

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

OK weiner I'll give you a little chit chat before I go to bed

My son finished about in the middle of the pack in his races today with his car I didn't think would stay on the track, my car in the other races did awful only beating like 1 car out of 30.

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

yeah but look at that smile!
He looks like he had fun trying!

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

The funniest story of the day was the final race for the troop winner - the kid got to choose which lane he wanted for the final time and he picked the lane that was obviously slower all day - even with everyone telling him to take the other one - and he lost.!

My son had a fun time tho.

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

My wife and daughter of course after seeing my pathetic car want in on the action next year.

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

and you got to do it together!
Thats very cool, and he will remember it always.

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

alright, go to bed...old men need to get their rest...

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

ok - see you in the morning - goodnight offline Andy!

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

well, I tucked in all my friends.....time to see what else is going on here at DG.

Southern, CT(Zone 6a)

No. I'm back. Was just checking out a little SNL.
You can dig in my front yard. Watch out for the quicksand.
Dena, What else do you like reading beside Jane Austen?

Anita, How were your neices?

Al, Great job with the pine derby or whatever its called. Looks like a great father- son time. I'm not 44.

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

Oh hey! Hi Dave (not sleeping)!

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

I like to read Anne McCaffrey The Dragons of Pern
Steven King is another fav

Southern, CT(Zone 6a)

I don't know McCaffrey but I've heard of that King guy. I hear he has a lot of potential.

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

poems by Robert Herrick
Rudyard Kiplings Jungle books
James Herriot All Things (All of the books)

Southern, CT(Zone 6a)

Don't know Herrick either, but then again, I haven't read poetry in a long time. Sounds like an unusual mix Austin, Kipling. King, Herriot, poetry, fantasy (I think). Do your interests go all over?

My favorites were John Irving, Pat Conroy but they seem to have run dry.John Knowles. Mostly your basic novels. Except: I don't think he's a great writer but I loved Dan Brown's books (Da Vinci Code, etc) I love the Harry Potter books.
Then its more books than authors To Kill A Mockingbird, Catch 22,

West Warwick, RI(Zone 6b)

I love to read.
I'll read whatever you put in front of me.
In high school one of my teachers jokingly told me to read War and Peace, because he would give me a book and tell me to ONLY read the chapters we were told to read and I'd kill the book off in one sitting. I read War & Peace, and did a report on it. I have to admit it took me a month and a half to read the entire book....ugh!
I read Clan of the Cave Bear, in my spare time, in middle school. LOL

Southern, CT(Zone 6a)

I used to read more as a kid. I think I read all John Steinbeck's books in junior high.

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

Morning all,
thought I was going to have to dump that pot out for a while there yesterday.
We have some snow coming and then warmer weather this week so we'll see

Long Island, NY(Zone 6b)

well - I definitely did not get worm today! I never sleep this late!!

Brockton, MA(Zone 6a)

Lookie here, My first flower of the new season.
A super early crocus. About 1 inch wide.
This used to be a flower border along the sidewalk, if we had a sidewalk. My lawn trees grew so much that the bed got too shady so I removed all the worthwhile stuff and planted grass seed. Some bulbs were hiding.
These little guys are so early they bloom under the winter mulch. No mulch on the lawn, so here it is saying "It's Spring".

Congratulations Andy.
I have nothing up yet. Even my hellebores aren't budging.
Uconn Women are ahead. I'm following the play-by-play while I check out Dave's.
To anyone outside of CT, this is an extremely rare occurance for Uconn Women's baketball not to have the game televised. Kind of cool that the sports mania extends itself to women's basketball.

Long Island, NY(Zone 6b)

Thanks for the tease Andy. Sadly, like Dave, nothing is giving way signs of spring. I actually feel abit relieved that Dave's Helleborus isn't doing anything since mine isn't either. This is it's first winter in my garden so I'm sure what to expect.

Buffalo, NY(Zone 6a)

Mind if I play through? Al thinks I lurk here, for some reason.... I will admit to reading through a coffee thread here once, and I'm doing the same today.

The reason I haven't joined in is simply a matter of time. I don't have as much of it as I wish I did. And there's so much good stuff to read on this website. So I just stopped in to say hello, and tell you all that you're an interesting bunch.

Anita, I was at the supermarket today and they had little pots of African Violets for $3.99, but they looked in sad condition so I didn't buy one.

It's late...yes, my NAPtime...so I'll say goobye.

Bye all. (Bye Al)

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

Nap! Welcome to the Northeast - you should move here someday.

Got the Dena shift tonight as I am heading out to plow 5" of winter wonderland.

Anita - get the kids to bed early tonight.

Long Island, NY(Zone 6b)

Well - I've finished watching the Oscars - Dave, your friend did a good job hosting!

Nancy, you are welcome anytime to 'play through'. We try to keep Al tame - I know he loves pullin' your chain! Just keep reminding him that stripes are sliming.

Al - better you than me! I don't want anymore snow. As a matter of fact - I don't want the stuff we still have!

Night all - catch you on the other side of midnite!

Long Island, NY(Zone 6b)

Another nice day. The sparrows are busy singing. I still wish it were the weekend. Do you think we could make it Federal law that weekends are 3 days instead of 2?

Southern, CT(Zone 6a)

Good morning Anita!
The Oscars were not Jon Stewert's best work/ format. I thought he got a little better as the night went on. Anita, were you doing research for future trivia?

Dena. Anita made a funny typo! Those must be ghost stripes!

Long Island, NY(Zone 6b)

??? What typo?? I've reread that post a couple of times.

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

Am I late for class?
Lousy winter - supposed to warm up now(you know 40's).
Good to see Anita up and ready for school

Southern, CT(Zone 6a)

stripes are sliming...slimming

Long Island, NY(Zone 6b)

Hey Al - how late did you plow? Is the plowing part of your regular work duties or extra money?

Long Island, NY(Zone 6b)

LOL - ghost busters....I'm talented - I'm funny when I'm not even trying!

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

I plowed 10-6, yeah it's pretty much a regular winter type thing for me. Usually I see something funny - not really today, sure were a lot of people up and about all night. Not extra money, but I do get paid more on the weekends(come on 6 figures a year!)

Appleton, WI(Zone 5a)

Dave - what's this?

Quoting:
What a nic break from the Winter doldrums.



OMG Dena is in trouble if she stumbles in here today
