Waiting Patiently

In a few weeks we will begin seedlings in the house. That is always fun and exciting!

I have vivid memories of blizzards outside with my seedlings growing by the bay window in the kitchen. Talk about a study in contrast.

For those of you (unlike me) who dislike winter, here are some facts on this ninth day of January to bring you cheer.
1.Tomorrow begins what is called
"The Dead of Winter,"which runs from January 10th to February 10th. This is the coldest part of the year. In a month it will be over!
2. Ground Hog's Day is coming! It is actually just 27 days away.
3. Seeds are appearing in some stores.
4. This week on Long Island temperatures will be in the 50's!
5. My daffodils out front are up now!
6. There was a Robin out back yesterday.
7. Spring is coming. Of course a blizzard between now and then would be cool for this kid at heart who loves snow.
