Congratulations to Kylie (Marsh) and my son Phil Pompeii who were married yesterday at the Lake View Lodge in Treasure  Lake. After the ceremony they hosted a beautiful reception at the Luthersburg Community Center. Best of luck to the Newlyweds!!
 

More stuff is blooming. Let's start with the daffodils. I put in a mixed pack several years ago. They were a nice mix with some blooming early and some blooming late. Also a couple of hyacinths. They don't do particularly well in clay soil.
Had to download these from the cloud hense the small pics. My iphone is refusing to send pictures. Driving me crazy. I've tried everything but throwing it against the wall. 
 

Yellow hellebore. Sort of an odd man out as they are mostly shades of pink, purple and white. Also, one that grew from seed with an edging. These things are like weeds around here and they reseed readily.
 

Someone who takes better pictures than I do sent me this crocus. The contrast between the orange pollen and the purple petals is incredible. 
 

The Down to Earth Garden Club has cancelled meetings for the next few months. Instead we are trading via email what is appearing in our yards. Most of us have hellebores blooming. Here are 3. Anybody else have anything?
 

In the 60's B.F.Goodrich was there , made golf balls.  Later on Believe it was Ideal from Sykesville made hunting clothes.  When Goodrich was there after Friday night football game would walk over to get a ride home with my mother when she got off a 11 PM.

Faiths oxygen was an avg of 95% last night. She had it up to 98% which is great. Still congested this morning. She was fussy and gassy yesterday. Still has a lot of junk in her nose and throat but hopefully it’ll get better today 🙏 she’s been cranky with her bottle but I think she had sinus pressure and maybe a headache yesterday too. So hoping for a better day today. We are restarting therapy this week with strict rules of if anyone is in contact with someone who is sick to just reschedule. But we’ve got to get her back on track again.

She had an oxygen level of 97% through the night! 
Still congested but lungs are sounding much clearer, it’s like it went back to her nose again lol but I think a few more days and we will be almost back to normal 😁

We got Foxy the Pomeranian Dec 15 from a local lady. She is 13 weeks old & will not leave Chi Chi alone!! Chi is still jealous but is getting better by the day. Foxy does great on car rides, lays down on the seat & goes to sleep or just keeps her eyes on you, but does not move. She has learned to jump on the couch already. She likes to lay beside you & not one you, which is good, very good!  We love ❤️ her!! Her face reminds us of Sienna, especially her eyes!! They have brown Egyptian eyeliner, where Sienna’s was black.
If anyone has advice on raising them, please, type away!!

Awwww, so sweet! A girl after my own heart!
