They say spring is in the air..................

I'm on Face book and everyone is talking about planting.

They are planting lettuce and spinach and radishes and peas.

And I am envious.

Cuz when I walk out my back door, I see this!



Yes.  That would be snow!!! 


So is this............

This is where the crocus and hyacinths are.  First signs of spring .... still in the grips of winter. 

So ... I do what anyone that tries to live a sustainable, locally-based life does.  I sit at my spinning wheel  and I dream of spring flowers, dancing in the breeze.  Crocus and daffodils, snow drops and grape hyacinth.

Hi Miss Effie

The catnip I planted last year is already up - Miss Fiona was in heaven. She hasn't had any 'nip since last fall. Miss Eff, you need to get one of those little greenhouses at Menards.
I know how you feel Cathy, I hope your snow melts Fast! Because It really doesn't feel like spring even when there is just the tiniest bit of snow on the ground :0)
