Rain Rain Go Away

 It's out there pouring again.  Sigh.

Don't have anything much new to say.  I did get all my new gardenia bushes planted and the trying for another time camellias were trimmed expertly (sure wasn't me) so they not only look better but may do better poor guys.  I am pretty sure I told you that the below 0 temps did them in...I didn't know the first event was going to happen and it was too late then as the next three nights and days were below 0.  Then, immediately following was the 12-inch deep snow.  Killed every plant I had.  Starting again and this time though it will cost an arm and a leg, I will get/buy heavy plant covers and plenty of them.  What I had barely made it when it was just below freezing.  

Here... I found this again in my 13,000 + pictures here in the iMac.  One of the photo apps out there and now I can't remember which one.  It's me.

They are back...thank goodness
