Howdy do, Conor! *HUGZ*
How are things going these days? Well, I hope.
Any more pretties blooming in your gardens? Our Immortality irises are getting ready to bloom soon, provided the winds don’t break any more of the bud stems. Dratted wind!

Good evening, radu...((HUGS))...did the stormy weather hit you? Hope you just got rain.
We are supposed to have some early morning showers. BUT....the next few days are supposed to have temps below 32 at night.

Howdy Kathy.
I hope the rest of your day hasn’t been as crazy as trying to get the thread posted.
Looks like you got through another day dry —— and warm. Maybe Spring is really on its way up there. :-)

Good evening, mountainlion...snow is melting. I have a clear patch on the lawn where the loader took out a bucket of snow.
I hope they are out thawing drains...lots of water everywhere.
The weather report is for sure Fake News. LOL!!

Hey there. You posted as I was typing. LOL
Sorry to hear the temps are going to go below freezing again. I’d hoped that was over. :-(
There were storms across this part of TN this afternoon but we missed out on the hefty stuff, barely. We just had rain here and it’s been windy all day. It’s still blowing pretty hard and will all night as the cold front moves through.

Oh my goodness. Sounds like you did quite the job on your leg. Will it be as good as new when healed? Do the screws stay in?

Oh Yes! She got more than her share. My nephew (would that make Penny his cousin?) came over and took her for a long walk and play session (he is a young man and an amateur wrestler and bar bouncer, so it was rougher play than Penny usually gets with her Mama), and Penny was so happy she got to rough-house and run that she was well behaved the whole rest of the day.
I practiced the bass today for the first time in over a week, but I wore the brace on my wrist so I wouldn’t over-do it.
Sometimes a few days off is good but I don’t want to get “rusty”.

Yes I did, quite a job. Hit some ice, crashed a bike. I’ve had no problems, it should be good. Yes, the hardware is permanent.

Hope your spring winds didn’t mess up any of your flowers.
Ours knocked out a bud stem on the Immortality irises today. GRRRR!
