I Get Mail...
In addition to reader's comments made on this blog (which, like all bloggers, I lap up like a kitten with a bowl of milk) I get quite a number of blog e-mails; most of them are also eagerly looked at. A few though are opened gingerly, like being poked with a stick, and a few are tossed unopened in the trash, like they were radioactive.As the snow drifts past the window in big, fluffy flakes, I note some recent e-mails received. One outlines breathlessly how, for a fee, I can convert my blog to view by subscription only, and get rich so I can retire. Well, I'm already retired, thank you very much, and while I relish the thought of checks rolling in every day I've always maintained that wading through my blog, especially in the middle of winter when nothing is happening, is probably quite enough of a price for readers to pay. Besides, checks for 13 cents are probably not going to do much for my lifestyle. In contrast with my first e-mail, a very interesting and informative message about azaleas arrives from Bill, who has a website well worth consulting http://www.theazaleaworks.com/ . Finally, a person calling himself Captain Dave warns me that I may be on spiritual thin ice by having a life-sized devilish gargoyle in the garden. Fortunately I've not posted pictures on the blog of the garden plaques showing cherubs in various states of undress cavorting about, or I'd probably be thrown in the pit.

And here I just started reading your blog because I was *looking* for fellow freezing gardeners. Reading about Zone 9 is just depressing!
Sissy... you sound like my Mother-in-law!
Smitch... well, you'd like today, with new snow on the ground, and 8 above. When does spring start?
