DO YOU GARDEN? I am researching a book called "My Very First Garden" (about edible gardening... fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc.) and need your true stories! Do you have a good (or even bad!) memory about the first garden you ever did? Was it inside in pots, outside when you were a kid, or in a community garden? Did you harvest anything or did the rabbits get it all? Please submit your short but true story to vikkibooks at yahoo dot com by April 27 2010. Your submission implies your consent to use your story and the possibility of (minor) editing. Thanks!

Bitter Cold in Colorado

We've had major ups and downs recently here in Colorado. Days ranging from 8 degrees F to 59 degrees F. There was a night when it was negative 15 degrees F. It's hard to make a Chihuahua go outside to do her business when her breath freezes before it gets out of her mouth, and her little paws get stuck to the ice on the porch.

Another storm is expected today. Great, isn't it? We have to leave in a couple of hours for Mother-In-Law's birthday dessert, and it's going to be frigid and possibly snowing/icing by the time we leave there tonight.

However, we're a prepared family. So, just in case we get stuck, we'll take a special bag with blankets, water, snack bars, toilet paper, candles and matches, etc. There's kitty litter in the back for weight and traction, and we're taking the Chihuahua so we'll include a little dog food and a bowl for her to drink/eat out of.

Happy Birthday, Mom-in-Law

We love you.
