I like that :blog extension. Yes, The white coats with the extra long arms are never far away, that's why I only speak aloud about a quarter of what I am thinking ;)

We are supposed to get more snow, but I just won't believe it. I'll keep wandering around planning my Garden and dreaming about walk Spring walks and the return of the Peepers. I did plant some toms and peppers yesterday, so my windowsill is starting to fill with little hopes of Spring.

I never mentioned how amazing your frozen seaweed was. I knew it from the photo before I even began to read, we had the same. And we had tons of that very same seaweed. Do you ever use any of yours for the garden? We use the salthay and the dried grass for our path to the beach each year (it;s because we are cheap but here in New England we call it thrift ;) )

I'm so sorry about your basement. You don't seem to put out, so is it the norm? Does it happen every year? That is horrible. We just have a creepy ole cellar here at Toad Hall, but we're lucky it hasn't flooded, but one side of the house, where I am keeping the quails and chickens this winter, always gets a giant pond there when it rains. That's probably why this house has a half cellar and not a basement, as it'd definitely would flood over there. Good luck with your big hose...now who sounds inappropriate? Should I put NFSW or whatever it is on my comment.?
