Hi Janis,


 JK> > A warm hat helps either situation tho.

 JK> Yes :)  I have a few somewhere here... have to dig them up before we
 JK> get really cold weather.  I _think_ I know where they are haha  I'm

I'll be grabbing one tomorrow when I go to the farmer's market. I know
just where it is.

 JK> laughing because Ron always says I'm remembering places I kept things
 JK> like 20 years ago, not currently :) :)  Brain warp I guess :)

And how many houses ago? We didn't need them in HI so kept them all
packed away, until we moved to GA. Our first winter there seemed like it
was one of the coldest ones we've ever had, but that was because we were
used to HI weather.

>> so > many more to put into photo albums--eventually.

>> Yes.. same here. Speaking of old pictures, this week we found some of
>> my oldest grandson who was then a maybe 5 or so (he's in college now)
>> and he was playing with Toby who was just a little pup.. that was neat
>> finding them.

 JK> > Should scan it and e-mail him a copy; I'm sure he'd love to see it.

 JK> Yeah :)  They were so cute together :)  Alex is the one who named Toby
 JK> as well.

All the more reason for him to have a copy of it.



>> Yes, no kidding.  My mom always said the same thing. I guess my dad,

 JK> > I don't know, my dad and brothes used to use the stuff but I never
 JK> paid > attention to what they did. Actually, my older brother had a
 JK> crew cut > until he was in high school, younger brother gave it up,
 JK> went with
 JK> > greasy kid stuff while still in (younger) grade school.

 JK> It was popular stuff once..I bet it's not so available now.. just a
 JK> guess.

I suspect not, but there are other things on the market.

>> Ah yes, same here kind of.  One year we saw the smallest bear cub
>> cross the highway, but by the time we remembered the phone had a
>> camera, it was gone, down the embankment... I guess we'll never make
>> on-the-scene reporters (g).

 JK> > We're getting better. A few years ago, a truck tried cutting us off
 JK> > (after passing us) on I-85. We caught up to it, I snapped some
 JK> pictures > and Steve e-mailed them to the company, with a note of what
 JK> happened.

 JK> A case where it came in handy to have the camera.  Our phone has sat
 JK> here unused for so long we decided to dump it this week... The only
 JK> time we've used it recently was when we had to pick up my grandson at
 JK> college and he's at a different college now. I guess we just never
 JK> used it much to start with :)

We don't have a land line, just our cells. It was too dark when we came
home from running some errands last night to try to use the camera--we
saw 2 adult deer, 2 young ones (probably mothers and spring fawns) in
the neighbors yard. They ran to our front yard until they saw us pull
in, then ran out back. Steve saw the reflection from their eyes when he
went out back to take care of something. I don't think any were albinos
tho.


 JK> > They're better prepared for it up there.

 JK> Yes, they've got the equipment, it's true.

 JK> > Even tho we get snow/ice on a
 JK> > regular basis, the DOT & school board always seem to be taken by

 JK> Sure.. even here that happens... I'm hoping it happens this winter
 JK> with very mild snow.

I hope so as well, especially if we have to make a trip up there during
the winter.

(oregano)
>> It is a very flavorful herb - I think you'll like it.  I cleaned out
>> all of my earthboxes already thinking ok, tomatoes are more than
>> done.. cucumber/pepper plants are dead, summer squash, potatoes might
>> as well be dead for all the growth.  But I left the oreganos (both
>> kinds), parsley and thyme.  I looked at them today and there is still
>> new growth.. neat... :)

 JK> > I'll get out with a shovel and pot at some point before we move.

 JK> Very neat.

Got to start my kitchen garden going in a new spot.


>> >We've got spearmint all over
>> > the place, as well as ornamental strawberries, but I'm not planning
>> to > move any of them.

>> We had those ornamental strawberries in Louisville all over our yard.
>> It's the first time I'd seen them.  Of course it was also the first

 JK> > They were a bust--we tried eating them the first year we saw them
 JK> and > were VERY (!) disappointed.


 JK> Yeah, no flavor at all.. we tried them as well.  I guess they're
 JK> called "ornamental" for a reason haha... I did start some strawberry
 JK> plants (real ones) in Windsor before we moved, so those should
 JK> continue for the new owners. The blueberry plants I started didn't
 JK> make it though because of one rough winter or other.

 JK> There are blackberry plants as well in far back of the property in
 JK> Windsor as well as some asparagus roots that should sprout in the
 JK> early spring.  I should point them all out to the realestate agent,
 JK> but I'd bet she has enough to remember with her job (grin).

Make a list/map and post it on the fridge or some other obvious spot in
the kitchen. Our thyme didn't make it thru last winter but we didn't
replant, guess we will in the new place. It was one of the herbs that
was here when we moved in so nothing we'd planted.

>> time I'd ever seen real-live mistletoe in a tree as welll :) :)
>> Really, if it existed in NY, I could have missed it but I don't think
>> it was there.  I found out we had mistletoe in our pine trees in
>> Louisville when some guys showed up in our back yard with rifles to
>> shoot it down.  I had to call our pups in because I was afraid for
