 DD>> My inherent laziness saved them from a fate leading to death, though.
 DD>> I was going to transplant them to their outdoor containers Sunday
 DD>> afternoon. But, I took a nap instead.
 NB>> Good timing...  ;)

 DD> Naaaaahhhh ... just dumb luck. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than
 DD> skilled. Not often ... but sometimes.

Worked this time, anyway...  :)

 DD>> Last night the temps took a dive to 25øF with freezing rain.
 NB>> Nasty weather...  we've just had a couple days of it, too... no
 NB>> freezing rain, though, but some sleet during the day... woke up this
 NB>> morning to temps in the 20s...

 DD> You guys seem to get my weather a couple days later. Sorry 'bout that.

That's the way the globe turns...  :)

 NB>> Hopefully this will be the last of the really cold spells...  Around
 NB>> here, though, the folk wisdom is to not transplant anything tender
 NB>> until after Decoration Day... although it often gets ignored when the
 NB>> weather does seem to make the positive turn to warm earlier than
 NB>> that... :)

 DD> I well remember the "Easter Surprise" of 1978. I was one of the few
 DD> who had heat - because I had an old converted-to-gas coal furnace and
 DD> convection heat delivery. Those with forced air furnaces were out of
 DD> luck.  DD> http://www.sj-r.com/article/20110202/News/302029925

And I remember the Mother's Day snow (but not the year anymore)... Heavy
wet snow on my tulips, daffodils and other bulbs in full bloom... sigh.

 NB>> Daddy would get potpies on sale once in a while... but I think they
 NB>> were generally the store brand (probably Ann Page)... I don't remember
 NB>> him getting Banquet...  but again, probably usually chicken, maybe
 NB>> turkey....  :)

 DD> Banquet is available to me for (most times) 69c for an individual
 DD> pot-pie, fruit pie or ham-cheese-potato pie. Nuke it for four minutes,
 DD> let it cool for a bit and dig right in. With a small salad it makes
 DD> a sort-of meal. Or a dessert in the case of the fruit pies.

Not bad.  :)

... I love vegetables; I once committed an act of photosynthesis with one.
