Thanks Bonnie. I found them and bookmarked them.

Wool socks seem to do the trick all right, Judy. I managed to save a
couple of pairs of LL Bean's rag wool boot socks--they are bulky but
they are also warm.

I can recommend wool dress socks for those chilly days. Seems if I
can keep my feet warm, I'm OK. The dress socks are warm without
being bulky. A lot of the better mens wear stores have them on sale
in the spring & summer. Like Theresa said layer up in the morning &
shed all day long.
I planted the Fargesia rufa "Green Panda" today, also the
blueberries, Kinickinick, varigated Cornus (shrub, Magnolia sieboldi
Oyama, Snowberry, species Rosa all before 1030 am. Tomorrow I want
to start planting pots and get after the weeds again. I have a few
prennials to get in also, then I can buy more plants.
Granddaughter's 1st T-ball practice was today. What a hoot. You
could tell we were newbies. The parents of the older kids practicing
at theat field all had their lawn chairs & jackets. We stood around
& shivered. She hits and throws well, but we need to work on the
catching. Went out to dinner, then to buy her a mitt. It's all about
fashion, had to be purple since we couldn't find a green one. Not
quite 7 and already very much into cool.
Judy B z 6 Idaho cool & overcast, then sunny & cool today.

Not sure I'm getting used to the weather here, but I'm trying. It's
58 degrees today but projected to steadily climb to 91 by degrees
next Thursday. Meantime, nighttime temps remain in the mid to upper
40s.  Oh, well.

Lots of plants are blooming, a few of which I recognize: evergreen
and deciduous azaleas, rhododendrons [of course], Chinese
wisteria,  mahonia. The ceanothus are on the verge; there are three
or four large  shrubs beside the drive that are loaded with buds.
It will be a mass  of blue once they open.
