Tamara--I hope the snow does hold off, but I have my doubts. Good morning, Tina. and please keep your rains ok?/ as it is I hear we will have a very wet summer, and possible flooding. My back & arm are not ready for the weeding that would be needed in weather such as we had years back. The weeds were so bad my cousin's DH finally gave up & mowed their garden down. looked just like grass there, when he was done. And we are talking about a farmern here born & raised. I guess I will have to cover all of mine in dead grass this year, whether or not the back is ready huh???

yea, well, I think I am caught up in that department. I may have to find something to clean today.  In a normal time, I would be going shopping (grocery, etc) today, as it is payday. I guess I will work on the papers I need to file in here. DH & I have been cleaning out our business files lately.

My ears were burning earlier this morning, and I see that Carol wrote about me here today. We are definitely having the storm of the year as they predicted correctly for a change. So far we have about 17 new inches of snow, and it's still going strong.  Our driveway has been plowed 3 times for this storm already, to the tune of $80 or $100 depending on whether the guy considers today part of yesterday's storm as well. He charges $40 the first time out and then $20 the next time if it's the same storm. Sheeeesh! Right after he came today, Don had to go out and help Brian dig out of the pool parking lot. You see... my grown son thought it would be fun to go to that parking lot and have "fun" with his car. He got stuck in it right away and called home for help because he neglected to take a shovel!  Even though the driveway had just been plowed, Don could not get his car up the hill, so he had to throw some builder's sand down for grip. He fell on his way back down the driveway - fortunately he is ok!  Right after I sat down here, I got a call to say that my cousin (55 years old) passed away last night after having been sick for 18 years after a botched up back surgery. He was rendered a paraplegic back then, and has had numerous medical conditions since. (huge lawsuit that took many many years to be settled finally in their favor.) It's been a long battle, and everyone is now at peace - he and his immediate family who have only known this way of life for so long. So I ask the question that I've yet to get a solid answer to... When does the fun start?!?

I did pop in for a minute, but I didnt see you, Tamara sorry. ..and once again, I did not get any mail from you---I will give it 1 more week, then I will assume it has been lost & I will send my letter out to you, & we can begin all over again.

I can only stay a minute because I'm borrowing Maxi's mac book. My pc is down. A very bad storm rolled through here last night. Very heavy rains and extremely high winds here on the coast; heavy snow inland By 8 PM, local towns started losing power and ours went out at 10 PM. Ours came back on this morning but 90,000 homes are still without. Many roads are closed because of flooding, trees down or wires down. The wind was so fierce last night it was scaring Maxi to bits and he's never been afraid of a storm. But it was positively howling here at the beach! Lynne I am terribly sorry to hear of your cousin's passing. How very glad I am that you and Don were able to have that recent visit w/ him. Gotta go; will try to check in again later. Merme
![[Linked Image]](//www.agardenersforum.com/images/graphics/buttons/merme.gif) We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Thanks so much, Tamra, Dodge, and Merme. We are also very glad that we got to see him 2 weeks ago. We knew he was doing poorly, but no one expected him to pass so soon.
Merme - we had those howling winds here last night also - the cats were all out of sorts, and I had a hard time sleeping. We had a few power blips, but were fortunate not to lose power for any length of time. There are many many houses still without power around here as well.
Today started out very badly and most of NYC was shut down, including NYU where Amy attends. I was glad they actually shut down so we didn't have to worry about her either walking to class, or skipping them. This is the second time that NYU closed this month, and the last time they closed for snow was in the early 1990's.

Lynne sorry your cousin and his family have suffered so much because of someones mistake. Life can be so hard sometimes.
I've been hearing about the terrible weather that's going on. The wind must have been horrible for Maxi to have gotten scared and the lights going out must have been really scarey. Glad the power came back on.
Hoping and praying things get better all the way round.

Thank you, Sheri. It was all terribly frightening for him. Tonight it is more calm & he's relieved.
