Marsha, we don't have hurricanes. We just have earth quakes, fires all summer and floods all winter. lol ...

Next Monday we expect to be 55 degrees , but last Monday we were in the 70s...
I have not gotten around to putting on MIISRAEL garden blog the cold spell did not kill my strawberry flowers in bloom...

This kind of weather only messes with gardners heads...I want to plant out side but common sense is telling me to start my seed inside not out side.(smile)

But, Marsha, my home is in NOrth Carolina, need I say any more about hurricanes. (otfl) (smile)

When very young hurricanes were fun because there was not school...the innocent , carefree minds of a child is priceless...
