Still Winter

Well- what with the snow and the hail and the forecast for the next couple of days, it looks like we could still be in Winter for a while.

Here are some ideas for keeping your spirits up in keeping with the season.

Plan your garden.  Now is the perfect time to thumb through catalogs, inventory your seeds, and dream of what could be.

Write down your plans in a garden journal.  If you don't have one, this can be a project in itself fit for a snowy evening.  My friend Stephanie used pictures from gardening magazines to collage the cover of this journal for me.  I've used it for years recording when I plant and what, along with sketches, recipes and seasonal observations.

This way, when spring does come, you'll be ready.
