It's been a cool day after the rain and the thunderstorms that came about 3:30 or 4:00 this morning, so it's kind of dreary, but not too cold. Cold. I have a number of moms and some other plants outside on the benches until it decides to freeze someday, so I thought it was a good day as I'm ready to go eat supper with Wanda, to come out here and take a reel of plants that are growing like crazy in my little greenhouse. Everything's looking quite good, and I'm finally getting almost all of the geraniums blooming so I can see what color they are, and know if I lost any of my valuable geraniums due to the fungus I had last summer. Summer. As it looks now, I think I was extremely fortunate and from rotted bases of geraniums, new sprouts emerged and it finally come to bloom and relieve me greatly enough survive that I can really get a good start for this summer of all of the varieties I most wanted. The two I was most concerned about was the tulip geranium and the rosebud geranium. I hope you can enjoy this real as much as I'm enjoying going out and touring it two or three times a day. Let's hope we get some more rain, no hail or tornadoes, even though that is in the predictions, especially on Friday in the evening.

Sun, Feb 8th was a fun time for family and friends to come and bring their good wishes to Wanda. I took a few pictures. Thanks to everyone who sent Good wishes, was at the reception on Sunday, the 8th. A number of staff expressed disbelief that she's 90 years old. Many of the residents came out to celebrate and those I've talked to, are younger than Wanda except for one of Wanda's neighbors down her hallway (Sara) who will turn 90 later this year! Anyway, it was a fun time and well worth the effort to make it special for Wanda! She's doing very well, uses a walker when reminded to, has a good appetite and is quite independent!

Wanda and I have been to Longwood many times, both the displays of plants, and behind the scenes in learning horticultural techniques. Techniques. There is no place in the world with a better reputation and renowned respect than Longwood. We have even studied renowned research horticultural specialists .The times we have spent there will never be forgotten, and I doubt that we'll be able to ever go there again together, but it brings back so many positive memories. In just another week or two, one of the seasonal displays that we have seen a number of times is the mum that has well over a thousand 3-4" blooms.
