George, sounds to me like you are in need of a good spring tonic to get your blood going. I highly recommend some stinging nettle, or some poke weed! Which reminds me, I have some stinging nettle seeds I ordered last fall I have tucked away that need to go in the ground.

Nira, I hate this getting old and falling apart phase. George, I guess they are right in that it (growing old) isn't for wimps!

Patti, I am glad the "bodies" are getting sorted out. I think I have been reading too many "Who Done It's" and am developing an over active imagination!

Pam, we are running a little chilly ourselves, today. In fact, the furnace kicked on in the early morning hours and I had to drag myself from out under the covers and crawl over two lumpy cats and a dead to the world husband, and then had to put up with the indignities of putting bare feets on the cold floor and shut the window and check the thermostat.

I've got the window open here and there is the most delightful fragrance coming in from the Turk's Turban, or spice bush, as it is just loaded with blooms and is perfuming the air with it's fruity spicey fragrance that is just outrageous! I've come to the conclusion that I've gotten a male of the species, as I have never seen a fruit develop. It is an absolutely gorgeous sunny day out there!
