And more snow later this week, but it's SUNNY, which is really all I MUST have. Best of luck to you and your honey re: test results. Gotta go get some more wood for the stove, now, which means slapping on my snow boots--aren't you jealous?!? =)<br /><br />PS I get that re: "Chuck's house." My husband came with house as well.

Jayn...im: Thanks! I almost feel American by now ;)<br /><br />Jayne:LOL :D I remember the first time I ever experienced 'deep south' humidity was my trip to Austin in August of all months. I remember stepping from the plane door into the walkway thingy when I changed planes in Houston, and WOOOOOOO! The humidity practically punched me in the face. And that was only a split second...I was almost afraid to go outside. I was visiting a friend, and the first day I was there, I think I spent the whole thing in a pool of sweat. <br /><br />Turling: They're not too bad to get rid of if you don't want them though, are they? Man, Chuck had some gladiolus planted when I first came here. Only a few plants, and I didn't like them. Try and get rid of THOSE bastards. The bulbs split off into corms...corms were the bane of my existence for a couple of years. I thought I'd never dig all of them up. Trying to dig a single plant up was like trying to scoop up an entire bag of frozen peas with a teaspoon.

A friend of mine lives in Brisbane (he's from Cairns) and it's funny to see his FB comments in the Australian summertime..'I wish it was COLD!!' lol. I think our summers come close to the heat and nastiness of your summers (usually). My A/C bill was ridiculous last year.Kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-15495047545383737482011-02-20T07:42:54.322-05:002011-02-20T07:42:54.322-05:00Bub: Usually I'm not much on yellow flowers bu...Bub: Usually I'm not much on yellow flowers but for some reason I love daffodils too...probably for the same reason you mentioned. And they smell nice and look really neat :)<br /><br />And they don't call Chuck 'Tripod' for nothing.<br /><br />Alison: I thought I'd live in Edmonton till I died. And I wanted to! Love makes you do things you would ordinarily never do. I'm glad I did though. Forced me to grow up a lot, and fast :)Not saying we're never going to leave Carolina, because we may when Chuck's younger kid is older, but we're probably just going to move farther South lol.<br /><br />Mike: I'm hoping to do a lot of things out there this year that I didn't really get to do last year :)<br /><br />Kal: Are you kidding me? :) When I meet new people, it's like that old Molson Canadian commercial...'Hi. My name is Kyna, and I. AM. CANADIAN!'. Every day I get to tell people how much I love Canada. How did you know all my tulips were named George? (btw, when I say that to people, 'Hug it, kiss it, call it George, etc' nobody ever seems to know what I'm talking about). <br /><br />Chuckles does indeed have an awesome personality...sometimes we're too much alike and we butt heads. But he makes up for it...see my above comment to Bub ;)<br /><br />Liz: Actually it got up past that yesterday, closer to 30C. It was amazing, and I ended up with a wicked sunburn. But it was worth it :) Hope your nice weather is not far behind!<br /><br />Tatyana: Hehe...that's the look he gets when I come at him with the camera ;)<br /><br />There are miniature daffodils growing wild all over the place here. They're not really wild, they're in places where a farmhouse once stood like 50 years ago, but now they just look like they cropped up there for no reason. They're so little and cute. I don't know if they were originally like that, or after that many years they just grow out smaller.Kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-64827887420165134712011-02-20T05:59:38.607-05:002011-02-20T05:59:38.607-05:00We have 20 tomorrow and Feb is supposed to be our ...We have 20 tomorrow and Feb is supposed to be our hottest month.

I can't argue with your photographic evidence though. I know if I saw a tulip right now I would hug it and love it and kiss it and call it George. Hope your guy will be okay. He gives hope to this old man that personality can attract a dynamic force of nature such as yourself. Even if that girl is currently on a Ukrainian potatoe farm.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-38960518280621475372011-02-19T12:02:12.370-05:002011-02-19T12:02:12.370-05:00I know you'll do a great job on the garden.
