2786. Jenerator - 3/24/2005 2:57:30 PM It's been awhile, but I remember reading that the slaves brought over okra in the early 19th century and it has been a fairly staple crop in some portions of the south ever since. My husband loves it. I had never had in until I moved to Texas. 2787. sakonige - 3/25/2005 5:54:45 AM judge pseudo's food 2788. thoughtful - 3/25/2005 1:45:17 PM Spring snows can be very special because the snow is so heavy, the flakes so dense. It is also short-lived. For those of us ready for spring, that's a good thing!
These shots were taken yesterday during my a.m. walk.

2792. alistairconnor - 3/25/2005 1:51:49 PM Ooh very pretty.
I'm hoping we'll skip the spring snow this year. We had more than our share in late winter. But we're not in the clear till mid April. 2793. alistairconnor - 3/25/2005 1:53:29 PM Though given a choice I prefer a spring snow to a heavy frost, which messes up the garden and fruit trees.
I've planted some onions, also some rose bushes. Haven't done any gardening at all for a couple of years. 2794. thoughtful - 3/25/2005 2:03:14 PM This one has possibilities for an xmas card
 2795. thoughtful - 3/25/2005 2:05:02 PM and for some reason, this one, taken through the dining room window came out with this fabulous blue cast.

The last couple of days we have had sun and 10-15C (50-60F) Yesterday we heard the nice cadences of this fellow, Sweden's favourite bird, for the first time this year.
 2802. thoughtful - 3/27/2005 4:06:44 PM pelle...the picture isn't showing on my machine...
wah! 2803. PelleNilsson - 3/27/2005 8:09:09 PM Sorry about that. It showed on my box but I didn't notice it was nonlinkable. Here he is again (and it is a he, vide the yellow beak):
 2804. Magoseph - 3/27/2005 10:51:43 PM I wonder why I see your first picture and Thoughtful can't see it, Pelle? 2805. wonkers2 - 3/28/2005 12:02:01 AM What's the name of the bird?
