Barb135 "Phil is seldom right though, furry little *bleep*"  Oh my, you must be mistaken; I've relied on Phil for a good share of my life.....hmmmmm - maybe that's why I was disappointed all those years that winter lasted into April (or May).......... LOL

adgal I know Opus...but one can dream....sigh....lol.  Heck, we'd be lucky to get off with only 6 more weeks.  Last year my tulips came up the same day it snowed...lol.  It was actually rather pretty..ha.

AnnieBrooke Does anyone know why, when it is sunny (he sees his shadow) there will be six more weeks of winter, and when it is cloudy (he doesn't) that means winter is nearly over?  Seems counterinutitive to me.

specialmom Ha, funny AB.  I had one kid cheer and one say "ahhh! darn" when we announced the results.  I guarentee at least one of them will be happy in 6 weeks (not sure which one.)

orphanedhawk I think I've got dirt permanently imbedded under my fingernails from all the gardening I've been doing.

Weeds are simply a plant growing where we don't want it said someone much wiser than I :)

specialmom You know what is funny.  My newly 8 year old was outside with me when I'm working up a big sweat cleaning out a bed that it looks like a laid a bag of weed seed.  He said "why don't you want weeds?"

specialmom And I said" well, I want to plant some pretty flowers."  And he said "well, these weeds have pretty flowers on them."  And I looked and yep, a lot of the weeds had flowered.  In my son's mind . . .  it was already a flower bed!

why is it when you are trying to cut down on eating all you can think about is food.  sigh Apr 08 - 5

mikesimon It's psychological. But I bet you already knew that.

Bon Appetit.......in moderation.

specialmom Yes, I guess I knew that.  :<)  I worked out what I was going to eat for the day---  complete with snacks and yet i sit and think "Big Mac Big Mac Big Mac".  I'm fantasizing about food.  Moderation is key ----  very true!

Barb135 Happens to me, too. I try to get up and do something physical when the "food attack" hits, if it's not time to eat.  Usually works, but not always; depends on whether I'm really hungry for food, or if there's something else I need, instead.

omhome what you resist persists--as you have heard but now you experience. Change your focus "taking something away" ---food----to a focus on and practice of "adding something to" perhaps walking program or start swimming every day etc. Find something new to add

specialmom The robin hasn't been back since she built the nest.  ???  I wonder if she is coming back.  She worked VERY hard on it as I watched her.

1729690_tn?1367698062
rivll I have seen birds do that. Maybe she decided it wasn't a safe place. I watched some ravens build a nest in a tree and the tree did not appear strong for the size of the nest. I was worried. After a week, they abandoned the nest and went elsewhere. :)

specialmom Oh, I hope the robin comes back.  Boo Hoo . . .  I thought she was okay with me.

rivll Haha sweetie. I know the feeling. It was probably her hubby...lol
She may be back, could be she's just not ready to lay yet. What a joy to be able to see her chickies hatch right before your eyes.
