BRAGGING RIGHTS!

I want to brag about my grandson just a little bit...7th grade and he IS collage level... got his test results back from Duke university , had a little trouble with math...got 15 out of 20 right... they say that's good... it was advanced algebra, he just now started algebra 101 or what ever you call it... Science not so much, he has the Knowledge but hates Science...Didn't hurt him though... English and Reading... Aced them both... I had to open a bottle of wine and toast to him even though he is not here... We did talk to him and let him know just how proud we are of him... I am grinning from ear to ear... This would be our genius...Cracking up here...he is going to Kill me...
Went to Glen and Rhonda's yesterday, as always when the weather is not on our side, we played cribbage... Now, this may not happen again in my life time... Rhonda and I Skunked them three, yes three games in a row, the next game they beat us by only one peg , we won the last game by 10 pegs... I was so excited... I would have taken just one skunk... but hey! They have never skunked us three times in a row... Ya, we were poor winners...rubbed it in but good... I called Marilyn and Daryl to tell him, but they were not home... so will have to try again tomorrow...I can't and won't let this go...Well, not for a week or two anyway...

Stella continues to show signs of life, today I got to see a few Oxeye daisy's (Chrysanthemum) coming up.
This is a Dianthus Sweet William...wonder what color it is, I hope it's dark or multi color...
Also we have another Sedum this one is 'Blaze of Fulda'... I started with one small start five years ago, to date I have seven or eight around the garden...
It sure is strange here in Montana... Rhonda lives just over the Mountain, a hop/skip/and jump, yet we have to go around due to the mountain, this is 70 miles there and back... her growing season starts two weeks before mine, and mine starts about two weeks before Dee, she lives not even a half mile from here... I live on the South side of the ridge, she on the north... Dee's growing season starts about a week before the Seeley area...Missoula it self is about a week before Rhonda... Strange indeed... I just couldn't believe what was coming up in Rhonda's garden...I so wanted to slap her...she always laughs at me...

Still,I have to remember not to get to excited as March approaches, this is our biggest snow fall month of the season, though as a rule most snow fall will be gone the same day ... more than half of March I am able to play outside, so this is a good thing...

April went to visit Heather... They had a great time, I just want to share a photo of Julia and Holden, don't know what Julia was doing, but Holden...well you can see in his face he is already saying "GIRLS what the heck is up with them"....
This is me, showing off Rhonda's broken light...Know how much that is going to cost to fix... 1200 dollars... that's after her deductible... Deer ran in front of her, she is so lucky she was on a dirt road and only going 15 miles per hour... I wouldn't have a Mercedes just because of the cost of the upkeep... My 280 Z was bad enough...
Everyone sleep well... Tomorrow go take a morning walk... it's a good thing...

And do remember "If one can do it, two can do it to"

Till next time
Nothing but love Lina
