Oh wow, both those pictures look inviting and a great option to forget about an ice storm--which we're having right now. No heavy downpours, but the ground is already snow-covered, and the temp is below freezing and dropping, so anything that falls is turning to ice. Thank goodness, we're warm and cozy and don't have to go, anywhere.

Both your pictures are enchanting; thanks for sharing them.

Same thing here. It has been on average very cool this spring ,and so many of my wintersown seedlings don't even have true leaves yet. I haven't even planting anything out yet. Yesterday we had a sudden heat wave and got up to 90. I just tried to keep my containers vented, lightly shaded, and well watered. Today the temp is supposed to start dropping and be back down to a high of 59 on Sunday. I plan to start planting out on the cooler rainy overcast days in between. I am hoping for those "rainy overcast" days. The weathermen seem to forecast rain, even if it is only a 10% chance. :( At least the heat has gotten some of my heat loving annuals to finally sprout and start growing.

I have at least 100 more pots...at last count (because I do keep a log) I had nearly 150 different named hybrids (some duplicates of several). I also have loads of crosses made by me over the past few years, but still waiting for those to bloom. I also have about 20 "others" growing under a screened enclosure to protect them from flying insects. They have virus but I am determined to let them live out their natural life, but don't want to expose healthy bulbs to them. They are separated by screen and distance. Over the weekend I got a shipment of 100 one-gallon pots and 35 pots that aren't quite 2-gallons. It will be time to transplant some bulbs and split mother bulbs from offsets before bulbs get moved to their "summer pasture" in 3-4 months. K

Cozy warm dashboard?

Well nice thought on the bright sunny window, if that is one doesn't have dogs and cats that would love to tear apart something new. I'm sure if I put my baby plummies in a window I would come home to find them torn apart on one dog in particulars favorite couch. Either that or they would have a certain odor coming from them, courtesy of one of the cats. Cooking cookies in the car. What a lovely idea. Go in to work, come out to nice warm freshly baked cookies! Gotta love it. John I'll be sure to send you some, and let you all know how the dashboard nursery idea comes along. Lauri

Wow, Caroline. I can't believe the adventure you are on. I do not believe that I have a tenth of your energy. (But I could handle the food and cervezas.) Have you ever figured out the amount of calories you are burning? Must be a huge, huge amount. Thanks for all the posts. I will live vicariously through you. Tonight I will a beer (I think I have a Dos Equis in the frig) and dream of riding a bike. Have fun and good luck on your journey!

Love those pictures!

Neighbor just left after winterizing my bedroom window. Now I'll feel cozy thru these next two very cold days and nights.

Not too cold here, but it will be on Tues. Love the pics! Salgal, I love your cozy scene. How nice to spend the afternoon curled up there reading or browsing the internet. I love fires, but we only have a gas log.

Since I returned from church and visiting a friend in the hospital, I am in the house until Tuesday. We are supposed to have a wind chill factor of -40 tomorrow and the schools will be closed. We have been advised to turn up our heat tonight and leave the doors underneath sinks open so the heat can get in there and keep the pipes from freezing.

Sorta looks like my house today. Three of my cats are on the table near the wood stove, and the two dogs are under it. The only one missing is Henry and his fat is keeping him warm. I had all intentions of going to the gym, but the roads are icy and three have already been killed. Plus the carriage house doors are iced shut, so no gym today. Tomorrow it will be 7 and then way below zero tomorrow night breaking records held for decades.

Love the pics!!! There's nothing more comforting to me than sleeping animals. I love seeing our 3 cats curled up sleeping......whether it's in a box or on the couch.

It's been snowing all day today and they're calling for snow and ice. I know the schools will be cancelled tomorrow as our weather channel is all in red for pretty much all of Ontario.

I've spent the day cooking, and we watched the rest of The Client List, as it's now been cancelled.

Lol, I know exactly what you mean, jasdip. Robert and I are both sappy when it comes to how cute our little cat is when he's asleep. My big he-man husband will revert to baby talk over that silly cat.
