I keep losing power. I got a nice treat today. DH has a co-worker whom has a friend that digs and sells clams. DH dropped off a gallon at lunch time. Chowder made with clams dug this time of year are a delicacy...so sweet. I used to dig as a child with my Uncle. It takes a boat to go to the Island to get them...and apparently now a 'clam digging license. Times sure have changed. Either way, they are steaming on the stove and my mouth is watering

I've never tasted a clam. Would try fresh ones though. I'm amazed the water isn't frozen over with all the cold weather you've had Sunny. Will the students have to go to school all summer?
Junie I told Colt that very thing last month when we were there - a brick on your head boy.

10:40 pm LOL about telling Colt that-----but then the kids of today need to learn slang from our generation as well as knowing theirs. I just saw Dodge--she has joined under a different name..I am so happy she is back... I am headed to sleep now---night-night.

Well here I am. Drinking coffee. Today's fun will be taking Rod's truck in to get fixed. Air bag sensor is messed up.

My husband has an air bag sensor/or air bag problem as well. It will have to be fixed soon...I am not wanting to know the cost.
Sheri, the clams are dug at an island...the salt water never freezes at the base...so when the tides go out it leaves the ground open for digging. The chowder was delicious.
We lost power back and forth all day and night. I am glad the storm is done.

Sunny, I will let you know what our cost is...We do not want to know either. There is one other issue also. Gracious, it is always something.
Glad your storm is over also.

12:28 PM Wednesday
You two check and make sure the air bags aren't covered in a recall.
Glad to see dodge has returned. We're a fun group.
Our internet went out for a few hours this morning.
Every day I ask Colt to find out an amazing fact. Yesterday he told me that girl bees do all the work and the boy bees are lazy and that the Queen bee is lazy too and doesn't wear a crown.

Too funny about the bee facts No recall on our air bag....just a check airbag warning. DH ran a 'coder' on it at a local garage and they couldn't figure it out. They told him to go to the dealer. $$$$ I am trying to find chicks or hens locally. GG wants to raise a few chickens. The one lady that answered my ad is crazy...she wants $10 a piece for day old chicks. Jeepers, what if they are all males?

We just got a call. The repair for the sensor is a bit over $200.00 and we continue if that includes the labor. (DH did not ask) thing is, none of the other air bags will work now until this sensor is fixed. So Sunny, this is your heads up.

Today Colt's fact is that hummingbirds don't have a sense of smell. School is so much more fun than when I was little.
Gosh hate that for both of you about the airbags.
I'd like to have chickens too but I don't want the extra work. Aubry and I went to Southern States the other day and they had chicks from $2.49 to $2.79. My sister in West Virginia, who does raise chickens, recently got a bunch for 50¢ a chick.

It was in the 80's yesterday, supposed to be 71° today, in the 60's the rest of the wind. It's the wind. The wind has been relentless for weeks. All this hasn't seemed to bother the hummingbirds. They're here in full force. Changing their food today.

I planted some petunias and changed 2 of the hummingbird feeders but it's so windy that's all I can do out there. Tonight I'm going to a garden walk presented by the Master Gardeners Club.

It was a great tour. Do you have an agricultural center Junie? It was at the Ag Center Learning Garden that the Master Gardeners plant and keep up. The wind was killer though. I got free milkweed seeds and lima bean seeds.

We do have some kind of Home extension in a town close to me, and I once found they were having a walk about for Blackberry care & I went to participate in it--it was well worth the time--but as I do not get the News Paper from the town in is in I never get to know what is going on any longer.
Glad you are feeling better, Nana.
G'nite, Sweet Dreams

Junie, I follow the Master Gardeners here on FB. They post classes and a calendar. Maybe you can do that. I know you'd enjoy it. Only thing was the wind was so strong we were freezing and had a hard time hearing the tour director. She finally got a megaphone but with the wind it was still hard.
Tina you must have been busy or having a good time or both to forget about us :)
Sonny hoping it's gonna clear up for you sooner than later.
I thought dodge would visit us in here. Oh dodge. Where are you??

8:14 am. Good morning.
Yes, Dodge, where are you ?...come see us every day. We missed you.
Sorry it is snowing again, Sunny. Glad you got your appointments and errands done before that began.
Tina:what Sheri said.....
Sheri. Thanks for the idea. I will look.
I am running a few errands myself today. I wish you all a good one.

9:26 pm We went to Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens today. Was a disappointment. She said the winter has been hard on the garden and boy is she right plus it"s full of weeds. Ate dinner out and had delicious halibut so all was not lost.

Hi ! We looked at a house, apparently it needs too much work b/c of lack of maintanance. The birthdays is over, Henry had a nice time. It also was a beautiful day ! Perhaps spring/ summer will come after all. We are tired. Tomorrow is 3 more houses. One is more money than we eat willing to go. I. Suppose I will find something some day. I will see you all as I can.
