Good Afternoon, it is 54 and cloudy, but when in Eugene for the Assembly it was sunny. Always nice to go to the Assembly and see the people that you do not see but once a week. Hope you are having a nice day. Brto. Doc
I had the best day at work ever yesterday. I made 39 phone calls, left 15 voice messages, but talked to 24 clients. It was wonderful.
Thursday we took the plastic off of all the plants and put it away, hopefully there will be no more temperatures near freezing.
The Hostas and Ferns are doing so well. Just a few weeks ago, I thought that one of the Hostas would never come back this year. God's timing is perfect.
Got some of the Ivy plants hung up in the shady areas so the 90° sunshine doesn't burn them. Spring will cool off next week!
The prolific Airplane plants are happy in the shade of the Juniper trees too.
Today in between college baseball, softball, and basketball games. I hope to get these beautiful blooming plants set out all around the backyard. I could surely use your help. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
We worked in the yard today. Suppose to rain this evening, but just a small chance. I sprayed my car off, as the pollen had turned it green. I got some bags of top soil, so have begun placing dirt in the flower beds, as well as some pots. I want to go to Lowe's tomorrow and get a new bird feeder..and of course while there, check out the flowers. Last spring we planted impatients in the North flower bed. They did so good. I planted zinnia seeds this afternoon...now we wait. It's so refreshing seeing spring make its entrance after the drab and grey winter. Enjoy the weekend -:)
Wow, your plants are in a luxury hotel... I really like your greenhouse! But the temperatures must be less cold than where I am... here they would be frozen...

Thank you Myraim! Mine are in a greenhouse environment during the winter. We made this 20 years ago. We were younger and had cousins to help pour the cement. Rbt could see better before his glaucoma and made the frame out of PVC. It has 2 pieces of lattice over the top with zip ties holding it on. It also has 3 flood lamps that put off some heat that we can turn on or off. Then in the winter we put a space heater that we can also turn on and off and cover it in heavy dut plastic. It is like a hot house with lots of humidity when we uncover it.
Isn't is wonderful it is now spring! I love it and I spent the first day of spring mowing which I didn't love so much but it was nice to be outside and everything looks so nice. The blossoms are out along with the pesky pollen.
It was a busy week with yard work, cleaning and watching my grandson's so it's a nice the weekend is here and things will slow down a bit.
