  1. Good afternoon BW. I was 18 when the original came out. Now at nearly 77 I come across this reworking of the lyrics with the same music. To me, as the latest deluge continues, I found it interesting and heart rending. Stay well, as always

  4. Good morning Rob. In the main thread you mentioned the trees and bushes are encased in ice. With winds possibly gusting later is yours and the surrounding northern areas in any danger. Please be careful if you go out. As always ….
  5. Good evening Don. Magnificent photos from the Botanical Gardens. Below the first photo is of a Camilla I planted at my parents house over 55 years ago. The second is a bloom from a Camilla I planted in the postage stamp 40 years ago. My sister said the one at my parent’s house opened its first bloom near the end of February. Stay well, as always …
  6. Thank you Rob. I’ve been in a catch 22 loop with my account. I was only able to visit and couldn’t get help. I would request a password reset, put in my address and screen name and one or the other wouldn’t be recognized. My daughter, heaven bless her, asked me how the forum was doing, hearing my situation and not being able to contact Admins for help, she said she would get an account so that I could use it to contact the Administrators for help with mine. Today the reset request worked. This whole mess had to be something I did. My problem now is trying to figure out what it was so I don’t do it again. Im happy to be back. Firum withdrawal symptoms at my age are distinctly unpleasant. Thank you for asking ….. and …. As always
  7. … gravity your post words ‘are’ wisdom. Unlike those on Mona Lisa’s doorstep, the fact that you can vocalize your dreams actually means they’re not dead. My 18/22 foot postage stamp will always be dear to me. The soil in its 150 year existence is less than ideal. I still, in a boxed raised bed and clay pots filled with fresh soil, attempt vegetable plantings. Even so with Mother Oak taking over in the warm season, full sun is restricted to a limited number of hours, preventing any sort of bumper crop. What ever does ripen, I treasure …. Of course unless I’m vigilant my furry tailed tree rodents harvest before I do. The postage stamp is also a final resting place for beloved small companions. The photos below show the latest loses, my feline, Honey and my daughters canine Stan. The birds are also a blessing to watch. I furnish them with seed for the feeders and suet for the small cage holders. I often wish that someday, standing very still, after replenishing the feeders, a sparrow will land even briefly on my shoulder. Such are the dreams of the aged. Please be well gravity and know your land, of almost thirty years, is now a part of you and loved by you. As always …
  8. …. And though a cold wind may yet steal my breath …. The soul that is me will forever remain yours. ( sung quietly to Mother Nature by a lonely old man walking slowly around his postage stamp. ) stay well Liberty, as always …..
  9. Thank you Rob, gravity. The postage stamps frozen beauty is gone. Now only the dull lifeless brown of fallen oak leaves remain in view. I did find a small promise of the Spring to come. Stay well, as always …..
  10. Good morning everyone. I find the NW & NE enjoyable and miss it when it goes quiet. Stay well, as always ….

  13. Good morning S19. Apparently AccuWeather long range agrees with you, at least for the moment. Stay well, as always ….
  14. Even the UHI haunted inner city can yield to frozen beauty. Stay well everyone, as always ….

  21. Good morning everyone. That’s actually an illustration from the primer coloring book, ‘Meteorology for Weenies’ it explains how the intense storm draws in all the cold air from the surrounding areas thus changing the perimeter to rain. The book was dedicated to JB and ritually burned by S19. Stay well and hopeful, as always ……
