Good afternoon Di - It's been a long time since I heard from you.. I miss your notes.. It's on the warm side here 53 (that's warm for us) lol.. My tulpis are only starting to sprout up, but are not in bloom yet.. There's some daffies out there, but they look kinda sick.. The lilac bushes are getting some green on them, but no sign of blooming.. We've been so cold and snowy for so long, everything is shy and and has been hiding.. Hope to hear from you sometime.. Hope all is well with you and dear hubby! hugs xoxo
