A wee bit ago, I tried to link over here to . . . I don’t know . . . maybe ramble about how the Budweiser Clydesdales make me choke up. But the server would not connect.

I have to admit it is so odd seeing you post winter advisories. See….. my azaleas decided winter is over and are ramping up for an early blooming production.

You just tend to forget those things after you’ve lived down here for a few years. I do have to search out my winter clothing though as I head to the mountains of Colorado in two weeks and if I don’t find those long undies I’m going to be in serious trouble…
