My cousin Steve wasn't working at the time (he's a year younger than me) and my aunt worked nights so we had use of her car during the day.<BR/><BR/>One of the places we went was the Desert Botanic Garden. I made Steve take a picture of me smelling a rose on February 1st OUTSIDE! I couldn't believe it (it was my first trip out west). I even ended up staying for an extra day because I got snowed out of Chicago!<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a great time visited your daughter and almost-son-in-law.

As it is, I'm glad I was here for the earlier tease of spring.<BR/><BR/>Cheryl, I know we will have a great time. Daughter is so happy her Dad is coming along this time. I am so glad I bought those primulas last spring!<BR/><BR/>Ewa, Thank you, and I hope spring is here to stay when I return.<BR/><BR/>Anna, I'm hoping the wildflowers are still in bloom when I get to Arizona--this is the best time of year to see blooms there, I believe.<BR/><BR/>Monica, I know Toby would take charge, except he prefers to stay away from Sophie; she doesn't obey Toby as she should:) I have to give credit to Sherry of Q's Corner for the idea for that term; an "outlaw" would work, too, except he's much too nice:)<BR/><BR/>Beckie, I won't miss the cold and rain then. Wasn't this morning a nasty surprise? Hubby even got called out to work.<BR/>This should be a good time for Arizona blooms; it's been in the 80's there lately. Do visit the hyacinths any time!

Hope you're doing better.<BR/><BR/>Joy, Everything seems to be coming up much earlier here this year. I won't be home to cover everything up if we have a hard freeze, though.
