The miniature roses in my corner bed are sending up green shoots!  Hooray! I didn't know if they would over-winter.  That's a bright spot in my day.

I planted garlic last fall and the shoots are 3-4 inches tall. My peony is coming up as well as my lilies. Spring has sprung!

The piquillo and cayenne peppers I planted in March 2020 survived winter and are already flowering. Might be a long harvest.

Our olives survived as well, - 12 degrees C. It really snowed yesterday. Just a little.

You have olive trees!  That's pretty neat.  What do you do with them?  I just get them in a jar. :D

Just look at them. You need to put the olives in saltwater for a longer period and exchange the water each day before the can go into your Martini or on top of your pizza.

(High-level description of the procedure. I wonder who came up with it in the first place).

Seriously... Can't you all find a different website for this conversation??? :bang:

We could. But GRRM bored me with Essos food porn and I vowed revenge. :dunno:

Besides, "Sometimes it snows in April" might be a hint to the coming of winter. ;)

Seriously, I do not expect GRRM to finish neither the series nor TWoW.

And I'm fine with it. It's an open end, that kept us discussing for ten years, and five books mirror the five acts of a classic drama.

But, for fueling the thread, imagine this:

"The White Walkers were just a McGuffin to get the story going", GRRM whispered to DnD. "In the beginning of TWoW, after the death of Jon Snow, the wildlings will kill the Nightwatch for revenge. Then they will seal all the gates of the wall. The army of the dead will reach the wall but cannot cross."

DnD look at each other baffled.

"That's lame. We need to change that. Maybe we invent a Night King."

GRRM nodded. "That might work. But have Arya kill him off."

Chill lady! You could return everyone’s attention with a thoughtful insight!

 Cheer me up Feather.  My nephew's glioblastoma is back.  He's only in his 30's and he has an 11 year old boy.

And make sure you add: 

DnD:  "Now tell us about how Jon and Dany hook up."

GRRM: "Hook up?  Well they don't, in fact ... "

DnD:  "Let me stop you right there George, at least for our show, if you want to keep getting those HBO checks, yes they hook up.  Again and Again."

Winter isn't allowed to come for at least another 9 months. Spring just got here!!!

And that can only be discussed right here on this thread?

Creative. Definitely creative. Points for that. 

What Id really like to discuss is whether D&D got screwed big time by George... Or if they have something else in the works. 

You all gotta admit... We have the perfect set up for a never ending story. No wonder Martin doesn't like fan fiction. It's a completely immersive Shadow Earth.

Shit. Sorry Lynn. That one's a tough one. One of our "outlaws" (in-laws of in-laws) went through that in his 20s and eventually died with a very young child. Hopefully there's a better outcome for your nephew. :(
