Re: winter

Nice to hear from someone on this list.  I was beginning to think that it
had died!:-)  The winds have been high here the last few days and not
nearly as chilly as it should be this time of year.  I lit the fireplace a
couple of nights ago.  The last couple of evenings it has been warm enough
to reopen the windows.  Not GLOATING--just passing on the conditions here.
My house plants have been inside (and are blooming like crazy) ever since
the weather liar said it was going to drop into the mid twenties two weeks
ago.  
	Happy Growing...
