Hello everyone...

Glad to hear you're feeling a lot better ... that's a beautiful patch of crocus!

Glad you're back on your feet again Mike, some gardening will be therapeutic for you. My, you have been lucky with the amount of snow. I visited your lovely State back in the 60's but that was mid-Summer. I imagine that it.s beautiful in Spring. Where I live we get many visitors from the States, I'm a big supporter of the 'Special relationship' and often enjoy a chat to your fellow Countrymen.

glad you are feeling better, Spring does lift the spirits and I still feel excited when I see the garden on the move again. we have had our fair share of snow in southern England followed by cold winds(which I hate !) but looking forward to the warmer weather.

Welcome back Mike... and better health for you in 2010.
Pretty crocus pic. :o)

Welcome back, Mike and so glad you are feeling better. Look forward to seeing more of your lovely gardens this summer. Sounds like we had more snow than you :) Take care.

Hi Janey and Hywel... Thank you for the warm welcome :)

Great 2 c u Mike & ur well again :) hows your Pond ? :)

Hi Jacque, My pond is finally water and not solid ice. It wont be too long before I get the pump going in it. Funny that you should ask about my pond because I've been thinking this week about maybe doing a bigger one. I've been going through my photos that I have of the pond to see how I could go larger.

A Bigger Pond sounds great Mike :)
