like I need to be doing something. Gardening, planning, getting ready for "something". Is it cabin fever? I don't know.
It's been pretty cold here. Our snow is at that yucky black stage. We are getting a fresh "batch" today. 7-12". Maybe that will keep me busy. Perhaps the temp won't be so cold where we can get outside and enjoy it.
Things aren't holding my interest. I want to stitch something, but I don't know what. I'm just restless! I look outside and see my camper and just dream of camping. (sigh)
I need to busy myself with something. I just don't know what!

I am having cabin fever too! I started my spring/summer line of crocheted sunhats for kids and adults. Mostly made from recycled cotton but have started making ladies wide brimmed sun hats in paper rafia. Kind of a challenge but reminds me that soon I will have to change my fur-lined cap for a sun hat!

Got cabin fever here,too. So I'm planning my veggie garden and my dh has agreed to make me a seed starting 'condo' from a plan in a magazine. It sounds pretty simple(he objects less in direct proportion to the easiness of the project). :D

I know the feeling. If it doesn't quit raining here, I'm going to just go ahead and mow the yard in the rain. LOL. I am so ready for a sunny, non-rainy, hot day.

I'm feeling a bit shack wacky myself! I did start my green pepper seeds yesterday. That was my way of jump starting spring. I do hope we don't get all that snow they are calling for tonight & tomorrow.

I'm joining this group! I'm just really ready for the rain to quit. I fed last night in the pouring rain, the wind whipping those rain drops in my face until they felt like buckshot. The other day, while trying to move a trough, my rubber boots sunk about an inch from the top in the muck and mud, and I just about lost my balance trying to free them without pulling them off my feet! Now, wouldn't THAT have been a picture to post on the forum. Me. Face first in the mud, with my sock feet in the air and my boots stuck in the mud!

I'm experiencing it as well. I've been looking at the seed and tree catalogs and planning out what to plant this year.

| I've just got the blues. The cold and snow that shut us down across MI actually perked me up a bit though. No school today (anywhere) so I kinda lounged in my funk...but I just finished shoveling the walk...and that made me feel better. I'm getting antsy for a little trip though...getting out the motorcycle and heading north and over to the sunrise side for some camping..... |

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I tried to think of something to post on my blog that was exciting, but the weather has me shut in too. "Same Old Same Old" was the tile for today's post. However, this time inside is forcing me to do those things you put off cause there is something better to do. That thaw we had in January gave me the taste of Spring, now I feel like it will take forever to get here.
