Marcia, the one thing that strong icy snow cover does is keep the deer out of the garden here. Because the garden is steep, when it's icy the deer seem to have the good sense to stay out. It's an ill wind ...etc Anne Spiegel Mid-Hudson Valley New York Zone 4b/5a

We have no choice here except for very expensive Verizon broadband. All the roads radiating from our location can get cable, but as our short little road has only a few residences, we seem to be neglected. However, even crummy aol would never take 45 minutes to download anything so I have to wonder if the problem for some people is not their carrier. I so wish that the photos could be embedded in the email itself. Such photos are much quicker to show that doing an upload from a download and download/uploads go automatically into one's files,which means one is stuck with these accumulating unwanted except for the initial view. I have to wonder why we cannot do embedded photos as we can on Yahoo lists. Still a strong icy snow cover so I doubt that we will have snowdrops and hamamelis in bloom by the 20th as we did in 2009...sigh. Waiting, waiting...smile.

No more photos from the field. I sent the rocks to show the general area to Cliff who mentioned the dryness and said it to the group. Sometimes sending from a phone, the cell tower you are on says it has not sent, but it has. Then when you hit the next tower it sends again causing duplicate messages. 1 MB is pretty standard for most systems, but I now realize not this group.
