February in the garden and stuff

This Phalenopsis is blooming with 4 blossoms on the spray. The yellow one is still in bloom with 3 blossoms on it. These Phal.s are producing more blossoms each time they bloom. On the light garden the African violets are in bloom, also.

We have been having sunshine for the last few days The crocuses are blooming; the cyclamen, the snowdrops, the hellebore, the camelia and the yellow jasmine. Dave D. wants some of my black bamboo. Sheila got all the runners last Fall, so we will have to cut into the outside of the clump to get them a good root bunch to start. In my garden this plant stands in front of a dark green cedar hedge. At the slightest breeze the bamboo moves gracefully while its darker background is still. Its an excellent plant. The lawn needs mowing, roses need pruning, fruit trees need pruning, hedges need a trim and there are weeds that need pulling, otherwise, its looking pretty good.

Windows crashed on Pat's computer yesterday. Trevor is going to transfer his stuff to a new PC with Windows XP for a rather reasonable rate. Trevor's now has a new employee (partner?) and an office. He still goes out and does customer service. His rates have gone up but he is still reasonable and probably lower than anyone else in town. I think he works long days. He renewed my Norton anti-virus (the reason for the call in the first place).

I was to see Dr. Orrom today re my last lab tests. Nothing serious, just need to keep on eye on the gall bladder polyps -- so, of course, there will be more pictures of my insides taken at regular intervals now.
