Thanks, Fuzzy. I like them, too, and have seen them currently blooming in both Czech Republic and New Jersey in the US.

I am not that talented at knowing how to interact with very shy people. I suppose I always feel that some of what I say will upset them. I am a very open and "not shy" type. I suppose I mesh best with similar types as me, especially people who don't take offense at everything or judge every word I say. Over the course of my life I've met many who are quick to criticize me. It's a common reaction towards WOMEN of my sort, while men of my sort rarely get criticized. What's acceptable from men often isn't of women, especially from women. Sad but true. Women often acknowledge this, as do men.

Do you prefer rain or snow?
