G'day, dugh. Dreary and cold here... but I let Cookie off her leash for the first time and she was perfect.

And how do you think tree grow?  They appear out of the blue, poof like when Albert uses his magic wand?

Are we talking trees... or wood?

I think Gary is assuming (I did, too) that you planted the seeds directly in the ground. Most gardeners would start with a small flowerpot for propagation, then move to a gradually larger pot until it reaches a "mature" sapling stage.

I cut bottles of water in 2, put soil in the bottom parts, planted the seed in about 1cm and put the top of the bottle back on to keep the heat in. I'll keep the Bette time and move it to bigger pot as it grow

My mom recently had the chance to meet Peter Yarrow.  She said he's a really down-to-earth, nice guy.

It rained all day with the temps hovering right around freezing.  Thankfully the roads weren't bad on the way home.  Wet, but not icy thanks to the salt trucks.  There's ice coating everything though.  This is the tree and streetlight in front of my house.

Well, it's TRUE! It's called being a realist. 

Oh course it's true and being realistic is usually the best course. Sometimes though you've got to throw that all up in the air and dance to a joyfully wayward tune and look upon the possibilities with childlike wonder.

It was popular long before you were born ... just a silly song about how sweet and pretty love can seem and yet sometimes bear bitter fruit.

Sounds lovely. How about sending some of that warm air up north? 

I pointed towards Michigan and told the warmth to go north ... let me know when it gets there because eventually it will.
