Hi all,
Greetings from Tennessee. It’s been mild this week. Heavy rains and storms last thursday gave us about 2 inches of rain.
Had an interesting experience last weekend. A friend of mine has donkeys and a small bobcat/tractor. Got a load of donkey poo with an agreement from my husband that I would clean the pickup when finished. Good heavens. Had poo all over everywhere. But am grateful for the compost-the poo has been sitting for over 6 months. Am hoping it is composted enough. Was surprised that the stuff didn’t stink. No smell at all.

One other little surprise today. I planted some amaryllis bulbs outside in the ground after their Christmas blooming. A guy at Lowes swore that if planted they would survive the winter and bloom in spring. I didn’t believe him but thought I would experiment. The silly things have green fronds about 3 inches high. Am wondering if it will really bloom? Thought they were tropicals but hey-what the heck. Time will tell.
Sure enjoy everyones posts and stories. Thanks so much!

Murrie
