We are having record warm temps here. So much so that I was able to clean up all of my front beds today. I love it, but we will pay for it this summer if we don't get more snow. Maybe you could send a little our way and I'll send you some sunshine! lol! Wouldn't it be nice if it worked that way?<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602739788203359839.post-51986356946392667702015-02-04T19:04:17.488-05:002015-02-04T19:04:17.488-05:00I wonder the same thing as you - how did the early...I wonder the same thing as you - how did the early settlers manage our New England weather?
