Keeping the place running smoothly,doing a bit of gardening.

Stop & have a chat every now & then.

I am sure everyone would agree that, that would be nice.

Hope all is going well with you?:-6

I agree Mrsk.......to see the person in charge of this Forum on here gives a feeling that it is being run right and he has his eye on things......the way a good Forum is run.

Well, that was a nice posting! :-6

How are you all doing today?

Surprisingly, it's snowing *again. :-5 It's been snowing all day. I think I need to remind Mother Nature that it is March!

How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

Sounds crazy but I almost envy you.I live in the country and have fields around me.....I used to love watching the snow settle in the fields and get that secure warm feeling of being in a nice warm house.We have not had snow like that for awhile now..............only rain:-5:-5 and that dont make me feel so warm and secure somehow!:rolleyes::wah:

Sorry to hear you're cold! Not much fun in that.

We usually don't have this much snow - it was a 100 year event this year. We actually had to shovel snow off our roof. Took my son and I 1 1/2 days to get it done.

You know, I like photos (

) - so here's one of my son (face blurred out) taking a break. You can see the depth of the snow...and this was after he had been shoveling in this area for a while. Despite what my desert dweller friends say, we DID have a good time up there.

Hi Bryn! Thanks, yes, we like it a lot.

So...regarding your weather....you are experiencing an early spring? Been having unusually warm days?

I haven't seen more than an inch of snow - or any snow that lasted more than two days, in twenty years. Gone are the days of ice yachts on the ressi and barges iced in for months at a time.

Good to see you posting BTW :-6

Ms. Moose sniffing my sprinkler. (Don't ask why my sprinkler was left outside in the snow.)

Wow, TS, I haven't seen that much snow since 1978/9 when I used to live in a little village out in the country, on the border of Nottinghamshire (Robin Hood country) and Leicestershire. The drifts were nearly 10 feet deep across the lanes out of the village, and we were cut off for about four days, when the snow plough got through to us. We were fostering two boys at the time and, with my son, the three of them thought all their birthdays and Christmases had come at once !! Those were the days !!:D

Now that is cool.

Is it true that moose will charge a cars headlights unlike a deer who will freeze if you shine him ?

Dearest Tombstone, I would like it noted that my name should not be on Nomads list. He really is very sloppy with his list making. I should in fact be on the 'Garden Angels' list (you know the one that shows all people getting a discount on membership :sneaky:

Not that I've experienced. The ones around here react pretty much like deer. Often times, you have to honk your horn and rev the engine to get them to move.

They think they are on Jamaica time.

Hi Tombstone:-4

Honestly, I can not thank you enough for helping me log onto the FG again. I though I was a gonner from FG. I'm finally typing on my new, beautiful laptop with a wireless mouse:-6... and have my password reset. I'm so excited with my first laptop and to be able to log onto FG thanks to Chezzie, Spot and you.

You are definitely a keeper Chris, and I'll never forget the kindness you always show to me when I mess up. You are a luv:-6
