Hyacinth bulbs in my kitchen window

They permeate the entire house with a sweet floral smell. (When you have a Bloodhound, every little bit helps!)

Unfortunately, I can't smell them. I have a head cold. There is never a convenient time for a head cold. Other Half is working overtime, the temperatures are freezing, we're already running short on hay, I have another pregnant ewe that simply refuses to drop her baby, and I've almost eaten an entire pound cake in three days. Calories don't count if you're blowing your nose every 2 minutes. Right? Besides, when you're sick you should eat fruit. Am I right? Since strawberries are a fruit, I choose to eat strawberry shortcake! Please don't remind me of this the next time I'm whining about how fat I'm getting . . . I put a half a stick of butter in that pound cake!

You know what they way: feed a cold, feed a fever. <G> It's medicinal.

Yep! But now I'm officially out of strawberries so I'll have to give the rest of the pound cake to the dogs. Milli told me that I should get one of those netti pots. I'll have to give that a try!

I'm sorry you're feeling yucky! Drink a diet Coke with that pound cake next time. It'll cancel out the calories. Soon as it starts raining, that ewe'll go into labor.

You only put a HALF a stick of butter in the cake?....That's considered a diet snack:) As the get well card says "Poor sick Puppy....Heel!"
