Re: :CHAT;My Foggy Memory.

Hello Jan and All,
Sorry Jan to dob you in but you were the first person I thought of who could
help Paul Tyermans questions:). Yes you were correct, I did get your new
arils confused with Junos..oops. It has been so cold here lately and at the
moment I am trapped inside by a large heavy blanket of fog again. It is so
thick outside that I cant even see the end of my driveway, let alone drive
over to ride my horses at their stables.Definately not safe here as there
are often accidents on our local roads due to the lack of
visibility....Imagine if a cow strayed out, oh no that is a bad thought.
Any how my brain must have got a little foggy too and the memory banks have
nearly frozen up. I wish I could get inside the heater but I think a very
hot shower might warm me up.
So you have sold your house, if so that must be a relief, and your moving
too?...I hope the new house has a large garden so you can plant all your
treasures..At the moment all my irises are covered in fog mist and what
seems to have been a bit of a frost. All the dutch irises leaves have
flopped over and are looking a bit limp. At least the days when they clear
are sunny.Lots of retics are sticking their noses out along with the other
squillions of bulbs,, ie, trilliums, many daffs, species and hybrids,
tulips,crocus, alliums and many more,, Roll on Spring. Don is counting the
days till we have a 20 degree C day, he hates winter.......Brr for Now from
Wendy Sargeant in Victoria, Austrlia, Zone 8ish....
