Hello, Kaminchan, thank you. It has been a while since I've seen you. Hoping all is well with you in this New Year.

Hi Melinda, here is my entry.

I love it when you take us on your walks and that mist makes it all so surreal.

Good for you! That's a big job done and it looks great! I haven't even thought about mine yet. lol

I hope all you get is showers and not all the snow. It is hard keeping up with it all. Mika goes crazy running around the yard. Stay safe and warm!

yep and more snow fell since then, it sure is pretty.

I bet those roads were very slippery, I live off rt.104 east of Rochester and it was bad here too.

Glad she made it through the MRI and I'm hoping for positive results. ♥

Larry looks so content after his birthday meal. Nice to see your helper got so much accomplished. Snow may be headed your way.

Glad you had a wonderful time with family and friends. I know it is a lot to handle, but worth all the effort. I can almost taste that delightful Plum Jam. ;-)

I was just thankful to get my kids out in time; the rest could be replaced. They were surrounded by flames when I grabbed them at 2 and 3 years old.

I understand, but geeze when is this all going to end for you both?

I agree, the animals all looked so healthy, which was wonderful to see.

I can't even imagine the emotional upheaval one must go through worrying about loosing everything due to fire or a flood. I hope all is well with you and Jamie and all your friends too. I lost my home

I hope the Rosemary survives, that would be nice not to have to grow it from seed, although I should just to be safe. Nice weather this week while my son Randy was here but a storm is rolling in tonight

I think you are right! I'm going to start onion seeds this week and who knows what else to get an early start on cold weather plants. Crazy that we are half way through winter already. Yay!

Oh no, not another test! This is way too much for you both, I wish they would just do the surgery and let her recover. So sorry, Denisse. ♥

Happy Birthday Larry, I hope you enjoy your duck and rabbit.

Yep, we just had our January thaw and it was fabulous to have a 62° day and be on the porch with Mika.

Good for you getting all that stock put up. I have to pressure can mine as I don't have the freezer space even with two running. lol I tidied up around some of the gardens from leaves blowing around when
