Wow. How did it get to to be February already? And not just February, but *mid* February? It's a dreary, cloudy day, and both the philosopher and I are fighting bronchitis and a sinus infection. ::sigh:: At least we have a quiet weekend in front of us to rest and recover.
The big news of course, is Selling Brown: if all goes according to plan, we will close on our house in Alabama next Saturday. The buyers are doing a final walkthrough this weekend, so we are extremely hopeful that by the end of the month we'll no longer be property owners in Alabama! (And yea, verily, that is a Good Thing.)
In tasty news, I have discovered a crazy-sounding but absolutely yummy soup recipe involving red lentils, sweet potatoes, and an apple. Before you turn up your nose, you should try it. It's reminiscent of butternut squash, but with a savor and spice that is just delightful on a cold winter night!
In gardening news, I have finally transplanted almost all the plants I dug up around Brown. My grandma's roses, bulbs, irises, canas, hostas, and lily of the valley are all in the ground now. The only thing left are the sweet shrubs, and since I haven't quite decided where to put them they'll have to wait a little while longer. It's been so warm that the daffodils have already come up, so now we're hoping there's no deep cold that comes through to kill them off before they bloom. Crazy weather, indeed!

Recipe sounds interesting. I told Voncile about it and printed a copy. Roger F.
