Got tired of waiting for the really warm weather so Richard and I went to the home depot and bought lawn food, so Richard fed the lawn, and we bought things we needed for the birds, they seem to be waiting out here for us. And on the way out of the store I saw this ivy that I know will look perfect in the kitchen window just as soon as I can open it for summer. Picture on my blog. Also Thank you girls for your nice comments and my welcome here . Nancy Jo
