"Don't you like them?" LOL, I told her it was Frank FROM Virginia, and I did write a really long response about the dogs, but I must have not hit "publish", because my answer isn't anywhere to be found! Yes, I do like you, Frank! <br /><br />Annie is using the kennel to pee, but goes out in the rain/snow to poop. Go figure. Otto is still scared to death to enter, so he just has to put up with the bad weather. Neither dog will go in when it's raining, so I guess they think the sound of the raindrops on the tarp will kill them ;-) Oh, the grass never did turn brown this year...it's still nice and green, even under the snow!<br /><br />Oh, I won't quit blogging until they put me under! In fact, I just sent in my first seed order, and I'm taking inventory of the ones I already have. Spring planting time is still a couple of months away, but it will be upon us before we know it!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-42449042856261671512013-01-05T10:19:22.026-08:002013-01-05T10:19:22.026-08:00Thank you, Lana!

The pics of all the family are great. We had a rather subdued holiday season around here with my husband being ill but he is bounced back remarkably and I see better days ahead for 2013.

May 2013 bring you health and happiness - and bumper crops, of course!<br /><br />No snow here this year - lots of rain and very, very mild - +10C today and getting warmer by the weekend. A bit worrying really as plants and birds are thinking spring is approaching. I'm sure winter will return in due course, it always does!JOHN SHORTLAND, Cotswold Hills, England.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11702000270961029986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-51763719590020746882013-01-02T10:47:52.106-08:002013-01-02T10:47:52.106-08:00AG,

I would miss you a lot. It makes my week to touch base with you, Robin and a few more gardeners. There is still one issue from 2012 that has not been fully covered. Have the dogs taken to their covered outdoor bathroon? I'll bet they loved it with the snow on the ground. Annie is to smart to run out into the snow when she has some brown grass to run to.

I started on a diet a couple of weeks before Christmas, so I just enjoyed a small dinner but splurged on a piece of pumpkin pie and a couple of Christmas cookies. OK, so I had three cookies ;-) <br /><br />I am so looking forward to your first garden at the Little Farm! I think I'm as excited about it as you are :-D<br /><br />Love you guys, too.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-31418268932543572502013-01-01T18:19:32.064-08:002013-01-01T18:19:32.064-08:00Same to you, Cloud....stay warm!Same to you, Cloud....stay warm!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-72570424586277546752013-01-01T17:37:11.077-08:002013-01-01T17:37:11.077-08:00It just all seems so warm and inviting from that c...It just all seems so warm and inviting from that cold winter snow outside.

I roasted a turkey breast in my portable roaster oven, and it got too done. Amy had done one for Thanksgiving, and hers wouldn't get done in time! They were identical turkey roasts, too. I've decided I can cut the roasting time down by a full hour in that portable, Amy will have to add an hour for her oven.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-9129028479614945122013-01-01T12:57:10.134-08:002013-01-01T12:57:10.134-08:00Langela, I don't think she did, but yesterday ...Langela, I don't think she did, but yesterday she was sick with a stuffy nose and cough.
