Anne, Lucky you, keeping the deer out of your garden with icy snow, but
then all those rocks and slopes help.
Here, in spite of a northerly slope frozen over, forcing us to clamber up
and down a long, long drive, for the last three weeks or so, to the cars at
the bottom, most of the garden areas are fairly flat.
This AM I saw the gang of six plump two year olds(I think), lying down as
well as pawing at the snow cover on the grassy slope above the house. One
was shoving its head against the netting fence, sigh, so it is time to drag
out the pellet gun which, unfortunately does not have much of a range.
I enjoy watching the deer but enough is enough...smile.
Just wish i could see an adonis or snowdrop poking through. Hopefully it
will not be long now. The temperature is close to 57 but then blizzards
are always possible into April.
Cheerio,

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

Hi Carolyn and All,
I guess I am non-tech as well although I dislike the rather pejorative
sound of that term. 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.

Sorry, I keep forgetting how non-tech this group is. 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.

With regret I must ask you to remove my name from the mailing list. Ms
Strong's photos (one sent twice!) took 45 minutes to be received. Do you
remember dial-up? Some of us country-dwellers are still stuck with it. It
could be suggested to posters that they resize their photos before sending
them. I can't be the only person on this list with dial-up. And, no offense
meant (although it will probably be taken) but, rocks? Living on the
Canadian Shield I am not unfamiliar with them so after waiting 45 minutes I
was
somewhat disappointed.
Thank you,
Fran Doyle
