dive-bomb a dragon, with these wings! 
Got the crocuses coming up, but there's large twigs all over the place - going to have to do some "pick-up work" this weekend. Any snow left, there?

I love my colonies of late winter-flowering hellebores.
They come up through/under the snow and ice, and open before the spring bulbs show a hint of buds forming, but still look like this while the daffodils take turns blooming.

I do love crocuses. Their color is just so sublime. My 'one' has not appeared yet...I hope it does
''Sam put his ragged orc-cloak under his master's head, and covered them both with the grey robe of Lorien; and as he did so his thoughts went out to that fair land, and to the Elves, and he hoped that the cloth woven by their hands might have some virtue to keep them hidden beyond all hope in this wilderness of fear...But their luck held, and for the rest of that day they met no living or moving thing; and when night fell they vanished into the darkess of Mordor.'' - - -rotk, chapter III
May the grace of Manwë let us soar with eagle's wings!
In the air, among the clouds in the sky
Here is where the birds of Manwe fly
Looking at the land, and the water that flows
The true beauty of earth shows
With the stars of Varda lighting my way
In all the realms this is where I stay
In the realm of Manwë Súlimo

My dear lady... I'm so sorry. Thank Goodness you're okay... but this is awful.
Here's some cold Mexican chocolate. A little bird told my you're partial to it.
Hang in there, sweetie. *warm hug*

Gramma did out do herself this week, and that is saying something. Hope you see some sign of spring soon up there. Happy warmer weekend to ya!

*snigger* He didn't know what hit him!!! I've got my invisibility cloak on. He's already suffering from the *kick me* sign I slapped on his back ;)
You have daylight savings time happening? Isn't funny how something like that can just rock your world!? Especially when your creatures (dogs, cats) are still on the "OLD" time ;)
I hope you have an amazing weekend, m'dear :)

I'm so sorry--losing it is bad enough,

but losing a permanent one, plus an unfair termination is just . . .well . . . Bleccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Very best of luck finding a new one--it is so hard right now. I had several part time jobs, (free-lance) and with the economy, I lost all but one of them this year. Luckily, the keeper is a bit over half my income.

from seed, but just right outside as early as the lettuce. It takes a bit, but I always have enough, and it lasts 2 years! I do cilantro the same way (smell so good--if you like the stuff, that is. ) It doesn't need a lot of space, really, so maybe you could get a big, square planter and find a sunny corner?

Those things are hard to see on any account. And they stick out in the strangest places. It really appears to me many times that the guy that designs where to put those things also designs pinball machines.
When i drove tractor trailiers making deliveries i'd sometimes inadvertently  knock one of those things clean over with the trailer when it jumped right out to cause trouble. Somehow i never felt guilty about it. Perhaps this little story will make you feel a little better.

*high five* I'm so impressed with how quickly both sites acted on this. What a worry... but what a great outcome :)
Have fun this weekend, m'dear!
btw... I loved your story that I bought a couple of years ago and just kept *hangs head* forgetting to tell you! Well done!

and we enjoyed it. I think we all would be terribly disappointed if you didn't, sorta like a fuse to a big firecracker that went pfffft and went out (childhood reminiscences).

It keeps the bunnies out of my lettuce, too! I've also used piece of window screen I bend up into a "bubble" over smaller lettuce patches, weighted down with rocks around the sides. Works like a charm, but of course only for small areas of veggies . . .
Yes, it's funny about mint--I guess rabbits don't like it?? My chives get left alone too, but they get ruined every year with leaf miners (major miners!! ).
Can't wait for more garden new--I'm always inspired by yours!
