I hear ya Jo Ann! Hope you have some good movies to watch or something!

Suddenly I feel very cold, just thinking of snowing and blowing.

Thans to netflix and my gardeners on ATP my winters go great.
I make garden plans and generally try to stay involved with things that intrest me.

Don't forget to mention your camera which has conveyed to us thru multi-plant photos and photos on your posts, how your hard work has paid off in your garden, JoAnn!

I always like to over do.Its just harder lately.

It's OK to take it nice and slow and be comfortable...

And never forget the Clagon,.........................................errrrrr Clingon!...................................................errrrrrrrrr;.....CALGON!

Ok David I am sooo glad that I swallowed my water right before reading your post otherwise it would have been all over my computer!!!

Greg, I AM going to mug you for that hat! Seattle isn't that far away........

David that was a good one.

Please, would you Woofie?

Love that hat too Greg! Logical, functional and a true gardeners hat indeed! Just wait till you gals and guys get a load of my favorite garden sombrero!!! It has no top anymore (fell off in stages) at all and is 7 years old. It started rotting away 3 years ago and and still I have not been wise enough to tie a string under it to hold it on in the wind? (and you know I like to believe I'm so clever;............yet as I run down the street after it hopping down the street and hoping the kind driver will see it and stop for me to retrieve it I believe clever is in question! ) I like to convince myself that it air cools the top of my head.............................;my cat Spank thinks its a fun toy when I throw it on top of him and he squeezes out the top.........................................Maybe I'll decorate it for Easter soon with either me or the Spank in it?! That could be fun!

Come on over Woofie!! David, now that you teased us with the story we really need to see a photo!! haha - you don't have to make it your avatar, but you should at the least post it on here!

OK, finally I'm posting photos of my "golden basket" when I picked this thing up at goodwill last year, I was with @Springcolor and she just looked at me trying to be polite and not say anything...don't know if you can see upder the plants and chicken wire that I put on it, there is a lovely spray painted golden angel basket - I guess a merging of Easter and Christmas?? Not sure what the original intent for this item would have been!!!
When taking the photo I thought I'd removed all backround stuff, but my new PC Iris did a "photo bomb so no the yellow flower bud is NOT part of the basket!! Which is now only covered in different types of sedum, no tender anything! (I think there is still a couple semps in the top) I am posting these photos before I really wanted to because I think it needs time to fill in, but this also shows what I did with the chicken wire, following along the top and sides to create a shelf for planting into!

Thanks for the laughs everyone!!

Looks good Greg!!!! Seems like that basket also came with some red and green stars? We must visit that store again.

Greg, I remember when you posted that last year. I love it.

Greg, It looks good now and I think it will look great when it all fills in!

Thanks all...Yes Spring - isn't the goodwill already on our list!

Greg, that's going to look great when it's all filled in!

with all the above and think its cool now and going to get cooler and cooler in time.
