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!

Weather in Colorado

Yes, it's cold. By 9 p.m. last night, the outside temperature was -9 degrees F.! Yes, that's a negative. It dipped further and by the time Hubby left the house this morning, it was -14 degrees. That's not the worst of it - his car wouldn't start! So he took my 24 year old car which didn't want to wake up, but did.

It's so cold that the Chihuahua doesn't want to leave her comfort of the bed, and when MADE to go outside, does her business quickly and heads back for the door. Little priss.

I realize that we're a lot luckier than most people hit by this storm. We still have all of our utilities, and our pantry is well-stocked. Many people are without a heat source, and didn't stock up on edibles as well as necessities like toilet paper.

We're having a tough time, financially, like everyone else, but we're still blessed.
