The Shamrock Shakes are at McDonald’s but they probably have something similar (and something better) elsewhere lol but the shamrock shake is basically just a mint flavored milkshake and it’s dyed green lol it’s quite good

Was warmer here but the wind is a bit brisk. Still crazy warm for February.

I'm certainly enjoying the unseasonably warm weather, but I'm concerned it may just be another of Mother Nature's tricks. I remember how nicely winter was going before the one-two blizzard punch in January that left me snowed in for five days.

Plus, if I convince myself that more snow is on the way, I can feel less guilty about all those brown leaves that I didn't rake up last fall. Now, I can say I'm leaving there to "protect" the emerging grass and perennials.

New people have bought my favorite greenhouse. It was owned by the same family for four generations. I stopped in yesterday and met one of the new owners; it appears there are far more house plants than before. I have way more than enough of those. Maybe I will spend less money there now? Of course, she was in the middle of ordering additional plants -- I don't know what types -- so maybe I won't.

I am back. GS barely turned the computer on and he had me logged in.

Very warm out today. I went to fill my sunflower bird feeder and it's covered in little bees. I imagine they are hungry and there's nothing to eat currently because it's still February. I hope the frogs don't start croaking next. Unless of course we are having an early spring. Than I better get my lettuce seeds ready.

DD Barby visited tonight. she is the grandma to Leon. She is starting to plant seeds. she sells started plants in the spring.
I told her to start some cabbage for me.
also a couple of big boy tomatoes.
If I get Ollie up and running soon enough, we are going to plant some corn.. I can't tolerate the store bought frozen or canned corn.. it tastes like field corn to me..
Annie was reading the manual for our new freezer.. it turns out to be a frostless one.. we will see how that goes..
something is giving the ice cubes a wierd taste in the refrigerator freezer compartment.. it tastes like turpentine to me.. even the ice cream has that taste..
time to remove everything and find the culprit..

Turpentine flavor ice cream sounds horrible Jim.
