Today the sky is bright blue, but it is cold out there. I need to plant some bulbs, they should have been planted in Oct. and still I procrastinate. I too hate to get out of bed in the mornings on cold days. But at least we have some sun today. Not warm enough to dig in the ground though. Well I just stopped by to let you know I am thinking of you.....Neomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483213915316279993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-27209517299638027552008-01-18T16:03:00.000+00:002008-01-18T16:03:00.000+00:00Clare:Quite right - someone after my own heart!Ris...Clare:<BR/>Quite right - someone after my own heart!<BR/>Riseoutofme:<BR/>Thanks for calling by - wonder how you found me (but I see you like cycling AND Leonard Cohen and there cannot be many like us in the world!)

It isn't that I mind rain, but I like to be in where it is nice and warm and dry. Spring is just around the corner for us. When it gets here I will send you some bottled sunshine, if I can just figure out how to keep it in the can. haha<BR/><BR/>Night nite and you have a nice hibernation.
