Connie so true, my dreams are always bigger than I can do but that's OK because I'm a dreamer at heart.

Sara! me too!!! We can still do what we can on our level! At a MS support group meeting, the speaker said, "Don't look at things you love doing as giving them up completely, just you will do it in a different way"! I am so thankful, I never forgot that!

I may have posted this before somewhere but it seems to fit in here. My daughter read a story about a husband, who upon seeing his wife applying post-it notes on her seed catalog until they were sticking out from every single corner, edge etc, said to her: “Wouldn’t it just be simpler to mark the ones you don’t want”?
When asked “How are you?”, I reply, “Better than good!” |

up to 40* today. Hubby and I were in garden working. Raised beds still frozen, so T-posts didnt move.
Very, very tiny broccoli heads forming. I think the row covers helping keep plants warm.
I had covered the parsley and thyme with domes and frost cloth. I looked today and plants are alive. I am so happy to see the herbs made it thru the polar blast.
Today's good mood brought to you by a lot of coffee!!!

Love it! It's still dreaming time here - it's too cold for any gardening. There's a little bit of dirt starting to peak out from under the snow.

That is very true! I start dreaming as soon as my seed catalogs arrive. I love going to the bookstore to look through their gardening magazines for ideas. I also keep a gardening journal to job down my thoughts and ideas. Sometimes I even use them in the spring!

Gardening is so much fun! And it is true about it happening all year. Plans and dreams, seed starting, all of it is fun! We expect magic. . .and we get it!

I love this photo, Connie!! For those who live in a place with a definite seasonal pattern, it is true that preparing for Spring means planning while the garden patch sleeps and gets renewed with rain and time before the next season.
