    Because my vocation is to care for botanical life, I have fought a depressed state for the past two weeks. It is unnerving to go out into my garden. For realz.

     

    Two weeks ago, this magnolia was covered in bright green leaves:

    One of my favorite hosta varieties, June, which looked like this:

    Now looks like this:

    Repeat these pictures hundreds of times, and that is the story of my garden.

    I have no frame of reference for this kind of damage. :ohwell

     

     

    Awww. :ohwell This has been depressing. I'm worried about the apple orchards around here now. I haven't heard how they are faring with all this...

     

    The iris still look okay...do you think they'll make it? Between the cold and wind our magnolia didn't stand a chance.

     

    A little sun today though. That's something.

    1st Album/1st Concert

    I remember the first 45 I bought was ABBA ~ Winner Takes It All...the first cassette I bought with my own money was probably Rick Springfield ~ Working Class Dog or Duran Duran ~ Rio.

     

    I went to several concerts with my parents growing up, mostly along the lines of John Denver, Beach Boys, Crystal Gale, and Air Supply type things. :) But the first one I probably paid to see was Joan Jett and Loverboy.

    Awww. I missed meeting you all very much. Ginger is good for the tummy.

     

    I don't know if you ever make it up to the city, but I took a class at the Culinary Center in old Overland Park, and it was sooo much fun. Check it out. I'm thinking about doing another one soon.

     

    We missed meeting you very much as well. :ohwell (atomicblooz says so too for the record)

     

    Thank you so much for that link. I see several classes I am very interested in...l see a chocolate making one on a Saturday all ready that I am very interested in. Cool. :)

    That French Toast sounds yummmmy! (I don't like eggs much and have a child allergic, so this is something I definitely would like to try). :)

     

    M. Chris, I would love to learn more about Thai cooking. :yes We've had to do without it for the most part because of the peanut factor (kiddo's other food allergy), but I keep thinking if I could learn some recipes, I may be able to modify them so we could at least have it at home. :eat

     

    (LOL, one of the few things I actually got accomplished on Friday :hmm before we headed home was to get some crystallized ginger from the Merk...love to eat it out of the bag...in stir fry sounds delish!)

    Aww, congrats Tom!! Well done. :thumbup

     

    Donna, you know how to grow 'em...hope you guys enjoy a little well-deserved family celebration (and hope Tom gets some well-deserved sleep to help replenish all those big brain cells in time for next quarter). :D

     

    (Donna, I'm always quick to point out that mom to son smartness link when the boy does something intelligent...and then...well :shifty other times I keep that information to myself :lol :P Just kidding. Mostly. I always 'fess up to the mom to son love link though. :yes :wub [/mushy stuff] )
