Planning my Plot
I had yesterday off and good thing, too, because it snowed about six inches over the course of the day. This gave me a good opportunity to do nothing! I was going to make soap but I had this horrible compulsion to look through gardening magazines and catalogs.
I am just itching to get some dirt under my fingernails. I started to casually think about spring when my Jung's catalog came a few weeks ago. The thoughts slowly twisted into a knot in my stomach until I couldn't stand it and had to get them down on paper. So I drew a map of my yard and listed the areas I would like to address this spring and all the plants I would like to get. This should hold me over until the end of February, long enough to focus on Valentine's Day doings.
This is my little crocheted rug I made from two vintage fabric balls. I never knew what type of fabric or pattern would be on the next row so it was just the sort of minamal excitement I needed. On to the next project, something a little harder.
See that ittle bit of fleeting sunshine falling on the rug? it felt so good on my face this morning but it is terribly cold outside. There is a windchill advisory through Sunday with highs in the low single digits or lower. The forecast for tomorrow is -1 and it actually says 'sunny, bitter & frigid'. I am not looking forward to getting up in the wee hours of the below-freezing morning and going to work. I'll just have to keep green, warm thoughts in my head and picture the little tulips pushing their way up through the thawed ground. It'll be here soon.
