I too have a gnome name - and a black cat (Ceefer Cat!)<br /><br />Your mocha banana bread sounds scrummy - must try that version of it soon!!! If it keeps raining like it's been doing here all day, I'll make banaba bread tomorrow - 'cos I sure as heck won't get in the garden!Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-80908700718304171292009-04-16T08:31:00.000-04:002009-04-16T08:31:00.000-04:00I also saved many an egg carton (and TP roll) for ...I also saved many an egg carton (and TP roll) for seed starting, though I have had less success with the egg cartons. I manage to kill everything about 3 days after it comes up. Oh well.<br /><br />I put my purple queen out too early, and she froze. I was told it would grow back in spring (zone 6a-5b) but I guess I should have waited until after the last frost to put it outside again.rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366992997140067774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-74332329211901629562009-04-07T15:28:00.000-04:002009-04-07T15:28:00.000-04:00Our weather kind of went backward this week, didn'...Our weather kind of went backward this week, didn't it, Giddy? I see that you got lots more rain than we did last night and more wind. I can still see snow when I look toward the woods, but the grass is turning green in the yard. <BR/><BR/>I have a rolling pin just like that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-12759580086718119502009-04-06T22:57:00.000-04:002009-04-06T22:57:00.000-04:00It's almost time to get my flowerpots in.

First time I tried that.<BR/><BR/>I take gnomes on adventures, and then post the picts. Lots of fun! Hope you can pass the word around and stop by. Maybe a gnome friend of yours would like to come along sometime. <BR/>http://thegreatungnome.wordpress.com<BR/><BR/>Cheers and happy spring.gnome ciceronehttp://thegreatungnome.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-42821695695291320582009-04-06T20:13:00.000-04:002009-04-06T20:13:00.000-04:00Dear Kerri and Zoey,I sit here, unable to move.

Thank goodness it's going to rain for the next couple of days. Perhaps I'll recover by then.Giddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810313282013706875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-38066026966069369692009-04-06T19:33:00.000-04:002009-04-06T19:33:00.000-04:00How exciting it must have been to be able to get o...How exciting it must have been to be able to get outside and start your clean up. I know exactly what you mean about having tons to do. I haven't been out, but I think it will be soon.<BR/><BR/>I have had two bananas in the freezer since December that I keep planning to bake into something. . . maybe this weekend. I still have to eat the cookies I froze a few weeks ago. I had the urge for a sweet and just pulled a peanut butter cookie from the freezer. It was quite tasty. I do love having a freezer full of tasty tidbits.<BR/><BR/>Happy Spring, Giddy! I hope I can join you soon with my rake.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-72519855133976698812009-04-05T21:59:00.000-04:002009-04-05T21:59:00.000-04:00Life certainly does sound good at your place, Gidd...Life certainly does sound good at your place, Giddy. Isn't it wonderful to have a little taste of warmth? Not too much all at once, mind you. Mother Nature doesn't want to spoil us it seems, so she gave us a frigid wind, rain and even a bit of snow yesterday. The sun shone this afternoon though, and the temps were warm enough for the crocuses to open their petals to let the bees in.<BR/>I sewed Italian parsley today, among other things :)<BR/>The Schefflera has such beautiful leaves, and I love the color of the Purple Queen.<BR/>Those boys sure are lucky to have such a nice new perch. I wonder how our girls would like one of those. We now have 3 house kitties since our daughter reluctantly brought Hannah, the city cat, back to the farm (it's a story for a post). She's settling in nicely.<BR/>Enjoy your garden!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.com
