:) Mmmm, yeah. The days are noticeably longer these last couple of weeks. I'm gambling we won't get another freeze this spring! :o I have lots of impatiens ( ::) :laugh: ) that come up volunteer along with the plants I bring in, so I planted a buch of them in the ground!
I've put most of the potted plants back outside so they can enjoy the sunshine and the rain! :D They get so much stronger out in the real weather. Tell Bob his lemon tree is all full of flowers and honeybees. Hundreds of flowers!! :D And I know you're looking forward to your calamondins!! :laugh: :P

Thanks to global woarming, I am having impatents coming up wild in my flowerbed. How about posting a pic of that Calamondon tree in bloom? Should be lots of things blooming in the mountains still in May!

Tonight's youtube recomendations:
Hank Williams, Sr. on the Kate Smith Show, 23 April 1952:

My dad loved Hank Williams, and he often used to get out his guitar and sing his songs for us............I remeber many many years ago, going to see the movie of Hank's Life, and dad walking out ot the cinema, crying.
I have downloaded many of Hank's songs, and every time I listen to them, I think of my dad.
I will definately go have a look at the you tube you mentioned.

I love Hank Williams, Sr., he lived one of those James Dean type existances, wrote and sang some hauntingly beautiful songs and passed into legend. He died from an overdose and/or the effects of them in the back seat of a car being driven by an underaged, unlicensed driver. when he arrived in Oak Hill, West Virginia in the wee hours of 1 January 1953 they found him dead in the back seat, they don't even know where he died.
That is amazing that your father shared the same admiration for him. He had good taste. The Kate Smith Show I have heard about for years, it might have been the only time he was on TV, it seems to be the only video footage you ever see of him. When I found it on youtube I cried.
