Other Than That, Mrs. Lincoln, How was the Play? AdventureMan is busy keeping the bird feeders full (he calls them the squirrel feeders) and breaking the ice in our water barrels. My roses are the first plants I cover; I brought them with me from our former house. They are white, pure white, with a little bit of pink in the center, only visible when they are first blooming. The weather will dip even further starting Friday, so I am cooking up a big pot of chili tomorrow.
