 RH>> We have had a few cooler (actually, normal) days but Tuesday
 RH>> had a high of 82.
 NB>> Ours hasn't been quite that variable.... but it has been a bit
 NB>> up and down still...  Now it looks like we'll have a somewhat
 NB>> steady climb into proper spring.... March does seem to be going
 NB>> out like a lamb, after coming in like a lion....  :)

 RH> We've been on a yo-yo but hopefully now all the major cold is behind
 RH> us. Pollen, especially pine, is out in full force.

One can but hope... ;)  Here, forecast is calling for some snow mixed in
with the rain promised for Friday night and into Saturday.... but temps
only into the 30s for lows, at least....
 
 RH>> A lot of farmers have lost significant crops because we had a
 RH>> couple of nights below freezing this week. Strawberries,
 RH>> blueberries and peaches have been hit hard.
 NB>> I haven't heard much about that locally... perhaps our false
 NB>> spring didn't fool too many of the trees.....

 RH> And too, your growing season is behind ours by a few weeks; that makes
 RH> a big difference.

Quite true...  :)
 
 RH>> Good thing that your dental work went well--you were able to enjoy the
 RH>> congee and extras. As I recall, it took me some days before I felt
 RH>> like eating much, even soft things. Harder foods took even longer.
 NB>> But then your teeth were pulled... my one tooth only got a root
 NB>> canal...... ;)

 RH> They were actually cut out as they were all below the gum line. There
 RH> was no way they were going to come thru as they were all in sideways.
 RH> Basic soup (and things like that) were the easiest to eat for a while.

Ouch....  I guess so...!

 RH>>> instead. It was good. (G)
 NB>>> Yup, sometimes one goes with the favorite, sometimes one tries
 NB>>> something new on the menu... or a less-often picked choice....
 NB>>> One can get quite the long list of favorites that way, though...
 NB>>> especially at favorite places...  ;)
 RH>> The hard part of that is deciding which favorite to have. (G)
 NB>> Exactly...   :)

 RH> And one of each is detrimental not only to the wallet, but also the
 RH> waistline.

Unless you are sharing it with a large group, and then each gets just a
taste of each...  ;)  Probably couldn't eat them all by yourselves in
one sitting after all... ;)

... Progress is made on alternate Fridays.
