Hi Sorry to bring this back up ~ I did get an advice from a MN gardener & did relocate my beautiful little shrub. Sulked she did as expected but has never returned to her old self despite coddling. Our Spring this year came early & sunny ~ even the slow wakers are showing efforts but not Li'l Snowflakes ~ any ideas or thoughts? Here is a link that might be useful: My Li'l Snowflakes

"glad to know it wasnt just us that got cold... it hit 45 here and youd have thought it was going to be 10 below by the way people were dressed :) " HAHAHAHAHA Galveston! Same here! When I drove to work on Wednesday AM, I saw people huddled outside with big huge blankets wrapped around themselves, winter knit hats, and even a few of those ski mask head hats! Unbelievable! But...dont look yet...late next week is looking to be colder :-(

Thanks Nana, I didn't think I could live w/o those cute little trees so thought I better put them to use. I'd rather play than work so it's always time for a new table.lol Frou, I am a silly girl to think there are no others like me.lol I could browse all day if I didn't have anything to do. It's still snowing here and I would love to send all of it to you. You must be more self disiplined than I am. I still have a few things to put away but all work and no play would make me a dull girl. Can't have that. Jeanne, My linnens are navy blue with a shade lighter. The candle holders are Princess House. Was a set of 3 but the broken one hasn't been replaced. Bonnie, so glad you are finding more time to be here and post with us. Lee, thanks for your comments. So glad you have joined us. Like sis said "Remember your pw so you can come back". I lol when I read that. Lynne, thanks & I will try to do something different with my next table. I still have two more sets of snowy dishes to try put a table together with but have months to do that. You are all so sweet with all your comments and I enjoyed reading them. Punk

Hi Judith! What a pleasant surprise to click on the forum and see your post! I don't think i've been on here for over a year, but because of the season, thought I would pop in. I hope all is well with you, or at least things are getting better~sometimes that's all we can hope for. I have to say I sure miss your posts on the decorating forum! You added so much to the overall 'flavor' of the forum. That was before it was taken over by Houzz, which took a bit getting used to. Have you finished up with your remodeling~what a daunting 'task' to take on. I'm sure those 'older' forum members who remember you would go out of their minds if you were to post! Of course pictures would be awesome, but don't want to push you. Could I beg? lol I hope you somehow see my text~maybe you will come back here. Judith, I don't think i'm speaking for myself when I say you are so missed. It would be awesome if you could find a few minutes to let us know how you are doing and fill us in on the remodeling. Christmas pictures would be appreciated when you have time. And w g at about your blog......loved it! Take care.
