Marilyn, it sounds like you are really going to get organized! I really admire that. Organization is not my strong suit. My mom went to secretarial school - she wanted to go to college, but her parents could not afford it. But one thing I always admired about her was that she knew how to organize things. She said she learned that in her secretarial school. I went to college for 9 years, and I am very grateful for that education, but I wish someone had taught me how to organize, because for me, it does not come naturally!

Eek yard work!!! Yesterday I shovelled 6-inch deep snow from all of our sidewalks and a giant square around my car in -45 degree weather lol. I lost feeling in my fingers and legs halfway through and had to come inside to let them burn for awhile while the feeling came back.
I wish I could be out doing real yard work!

OMG! LINDSAY! I would never make it in Canada. If it's any consolation, it is 45 here today - a far cry from 84 yesterday. You are one tough chick!

lol I would love to live somewhere where I don't have to worry about severe windchill warnings and keeping track of how many minutes I can be outside without getting frostbite! Before I went to bed last night I checked the weather network, and it was -40 C without the windchill factor (also -40 F) and WITH windchill was -53 C (-63.4 F)! I'm staying locked up in my house today Counting down the days until summer!

There is just no way I could ever live where it can get that cold. I know from pictures you've posted that it is beautiful in the summer, but the winters are bad enough here.

You mean there is a yard under all of that snow? I forget - it's green right?

My front landscaping is now fenced in to keep the deers from eating the bushes. I don't have anything to do with it anyway. The condo takes care of it.

Enjoy your yard work and the warm weather you southerners!
