I'm gonna call 'em LOVE mate---rs.
They shot out of the potting soil on Valentine's Day, just two hours after I posted on my blog.
I walked into the room, and suddenly, there they were, reaching for the ceiling or maybe it was the grow light.
Anyway, just had to document the speedy garden progress.

Will the rain wash away the snow?
If it does, I won't complain.
If it washes away the snow and then keeps raining, I'll complain.
It's a gloomy kind of morning here, but it was just brightened up with a few notes from my friend Ann who's in Palm Beach with her husband Rick.
They'll be there for a while as he recovers from his stroke, and it was nice to exchange some back-and-forth banter with Ann.
She has one of the very best senses of humor of anyone I know.
Ann served as one of my "victims," along with my mother, when I would write stories for my first book and then have to read them to someone.
I can report that she never suffered much while listening to each story and laughing. Those responses spurred me onward.
Anyway, it's good to read some light thoughts from her as she works through this challenge of their lives.
Laughter is therapeutic, and I'm sure Ann is well-equipped with a good supply.

Bill is wearing real shoes now. It's a big step forward (no pun, of course) in his foot recovery.
I think he's pretty pleased but still anxious to get back to wearing full-fledged boots and walking in the woods whenever he feels like it.

I was thrilled to see my longtime friend Myrt Burnett on the front of the Daily Bee this morning. She was wearing a crown as Valentine queen at The Bridge for Assisted Living. Mr. Quinn was sitting beside her wearing a kingly crown.
They were chosen because of their positive, outgoing spirit among the community at The Bridge.
If ever there were a deserving soul, it's Myrt. She turned 94 last month and appears as thoughtful, upbeat and caring as the lady I've known for decades.
She's also been a wonderful friend to my mother.
Congrats to Myrt.

Hard to believe the trip to Ireland is just two weeks away. Am I thinking about it; am I excited.
Yes, yes, yes.
Annie keeps sending little snippets about the trip planning, and with each, my excitement builds by a notch or two.
There's lots to do in planning to be done, and I work at it a little each day.
So, with that in mind, I'm gonna say good bye for now and wish everyone a wonderful Tuesday.
I'll have to start out by checking to see how much my LOVEmate-rs have grown since I started writing this posting.
