Congrats on new grandson!! Now you can relax & enjoy???Freezing until spring, dreaming of spring, shoveling snow, brrrr it looks cold. We have a beautiful day & I cleaned up some leaves in street & took goodies to neighbors & up to some friends. About 78 degrees, wish I could send you some warmth! Merry Christmas! Also a Great 2014 for everyone! Jan

Ohhh ditto to all of the above. My non-gardening friends look askance at my attachment to all of you, but you do give me such bounce, such joy!!! Thank you every day of the year, but especially at the Holidays. No matter your beliefs or your religion, I hope that you and yours are warm, safe, well-fed and especially together at this joyous time. Nancy.

Thanks everyone. The little tree is a palm seed frond, if that's what you call it. I've had the idea for years to use these dried seed fronds as Christmas trees because of their shape and finally did it this year. I glued little blue glitter stars to the tip of each branch and decorated with found bits and pieces of shells and coral picked up on our local beach. Bought the star fish though in a little shell shop that has been in the same place since the 1950's. Merry Christmas to all and a great 2008. FlowerLady

Gadgets, DSL is not available to me nor cable. I am not sure if living in this woods, the satellite will work for me or not. I have to save up the money if I do try to get it, as I would want to pay for it by the year. I don't think anyone would choose to have dial up. Merry Christmas Sue
