   Hi Ben,   
      
      
   RH> We had some bush pruning done a couple of weeks ago but Steve still has to   
   RH> prune the fig tree and flower beds before they start putting out new   
   RH> growth. I'll put a bug in his ear about doing it the latter part of this   
   RH> month as we'll be gone for a bit, mid month.   
      
    BC> I did more pruning on the fig tree, but i underestimated the amount of   
    BC> work. It's going to take me more than two days.  Yesterday i used the   
    BC> chainsaw to saw a bunch of photinia branches.  The forecast called for   
    BC> rainy days so i was stocking up on "trashy" firewood.  Photinia burns   
    BC> hot and fast.  It isn't optimal, but it's free and it keeps me warm.   
    BC> I plan to finish the fig tree when the rain stops.   
      
   We had a branch break off our fig tree several weeks ago so Steve broke   
   it into smaller pieces and is trying to root them. I think he's down to   
   4, of which we do see signs of one or two developing leaves. We still   
   have small patches of snow so not doing any pruning or planting yet.   
      
      
    BC> The other week i picked up a jar of chocolate peanut butter powder at   
    BC> a free pile.  I was skeptical but put some in my pancake batter.  It   
    BC> was a pleasant surprise.  The pancakes consistently turn out more   
    BC> fluffy and   
    BC> moist and they taste more cake-like, thanks to the generosity of some   
    BC> random stranger.   
      
   Sounds interesting; I'd go for the chocolate but I have a strong dislike   
   for peanut butter in any way, shape, form, fashion. (Yes, there's   
   history behind it but I'll save that for another time.)
