Still having lots of fun,trying to post pictures. Grr! Can anyone help me with that and with putting touches on the blog like a picture you can see through (and still type a message) Thank you kindly for the gifts Panda , and Twilight Samurai. The gardens were a delightful surprise, I thought it was going to be small, but as you clinbed up , the plants started with cacti, but then there were trees, I heard birds, saw squirrels quickly run the through the plants, until a point was reached were they showed wonderful variants (I guess they crossed things, one was a striped purple flower!) I am going to have to work at posting pictures. What system is used here-- HTML or what? Where can I find some guidance so I can share?

Luckilly, we are spared of the snow- I am shocked to see Baltimore and Atlanta snockered by iced over snow! When I lived in Maryland, we always had to watch out for "black ice", so we had quilts, a canm, candle (to melt snow for water), flashlights. Since we he moved acrose the country (blush) my car is stuffed with all kinds of things that started with emergency kits-- if you can't find it in the office, its in my car! I guess you could call it a "stuffed tomato". Anyhow, willkeep trying to post pictures, because the winter gave us some beautiful and strange weather sites. Alas, now we are only getting horrible traffic snarls as they try to fix the rods, potholes and whatever.

How is your weather and how are you dealing with it? We openned NNew Years Eve watching a Dr. Who marathon! Hooray that Dr Who is new, and continuing on! If you have never seen Dr. Who (no spoilers), its on BBC America station, those who live in Michigan usually get it by was of Canadian Broadacasting. That's how we first discovered it, and got hooked (until there was a hiatus)

But anime and manga still rule for me---need new glasses (they're crooked most of the time so things get blurred) and well , shucks, I keep putting it off.
But THE HEAT IS ON! YAY! so-- this weekend, bird food for the parrot, and new glasses, and maybe start some sketches.

Hellomy firends, what is happening in your Universes? I'm starting to look for places to travel (relatively short drives) I can't believe the things I have overlooked! And the new computer is running well- now to adapt to the new operating system!

Love to all!
