Hey folks, how's your weather?

[GreggC]

Of course, don't leave your Phals outside.

Still looks like a dog to me, Gregg!
We are having snow, but I don't care anymore...I have orchids to keep me happy. I'm cooking a turkey soup on my old Glenwood kitchen cookstove and as long as I don't look outside....no snow here! Actually it is snowing very hard right now. We are expected to get a foot through the night. Tomorrow will be sunny and warmer. Can't complain, no one would listen anyway!
Hey, here's a new one for the books. I found out I was having company tomorrow...good friends that I don't get to see very often. The normal thing would be to clean the house and ready, huh? Nope, as soon as I heard they were coming, I started to check all my orchids to make sure their leaves were all shinny and that they were all prettied up for company! What's wrong with that picture????
Winter does funny things to me!
Spring is around the corner, but can't see it anyway cause the snowbanks are to high. Adios! kiki

I think I slid the whole way home today! I really think the snow plows must be all broke down or something because I haven't passed one all day. And then there are all those idiots passing me while going about 50 while I'm clutching the wheel and praying at 25! I never was so happy to arrive home... to my frozen garage door that I had to pry up while the snow melted and dripped into the lace holes in my boots soaking my socks. I (was) having a bad day! I'm STILL hoping to make it to the orchid show on Saturday. I am bound and determined!

I still hope you do as well. It'll blow your mind. Unfortunately we've called it off on our part. Sorry guys. Maybe another show or next year.

Well there's still time for me to change my mind. I'll probably wait til morning to make my final decision. I've barely left the house except for work all winter so I would like to do something fun!

Well, since we started the winter off on Dec. 3rd with 18" of snow and it's has been building ever since, what's another 6 to 8 inches tonight. I've totally forgotten what it looks like outside with some color other than black and white and the coating of 1/2" of ice predicted for the end of this storm isn't going to help any.
On the up side, I hope to get to see some 'chids on the 9th (Kiki-do, are you still going?) and next week I take delivery on a baby Maltese puppy. Now, that should get me through the rest of this season and I'll have the joy of a new pup playing on the fresh green grass and orchids on the patio enjoining the fresh air. Ah, spring, bring it on!!

Oooooooo...a puppy!

[kiki-do]

Yes, I plan to go but only if the weather is decent. I don't like "challenging drives."
Wow, that is quite a puppy! When you get him, take some pics and post them, okay? And make sure you teach him to stay away from your chids! Puppies love to chew! kiki

[Bird Song Farm]

Not to worry KiKi-do, she will be fine with the 'chids, they are all up high and she is only 3# and 5" at the shoulder. Will post some pics when she gets settled in and I am used to the "the newspaper is over here" game.
Same here with the weather. Let's hope it will be one of those few 'nice' days. I'm really looking forward to it. Forgot to tell you all that a friend gifted me with a P. equestris v. alba today so it has been a great week!

I call a challenging drive being detoured on to the interstate at 5:00am in the morning on the way to work because a tornado has just touched down outside of town. Its pitch black rain is pouring in buckets… then having to speed up to about 60 miles an hour to just get on the interstate and then this huge semi truck comes whizzing by you from out of the dark at the same time you merge with the traffic…talk about having the crap scared out of you… This was Christmas day of 2006…later that day Daytona had a tornado too. I went through two of them in same day...
