January is ending on a howling note, but today I was allowed a saunter through my spring garden. The local conservation district’s native plant sale opened – at last. Long-anticipated this month and not a moment too soon as the blizzard howled outside. An investment now in a dream of spring.

know Spring is coming is the epitome of ‘hope’. ๐
We shall saunter into Spring.
Soon blizzards will retreat and blossoms will welcome Spring. Just wish they’d would get a move on!
My fifty one!
There is something wonderful about a howling blizzard even though itโs not the type of weather most people would choose. Here we just have unspecific, grey, dank meh. ๐
Ah, but Louis is always working to brighten your day!
Somehow planning our spring/summer garden while the snows and winds blow outside, lessen the effects…
I need every boost I can get to get through January. In mid to late February I tap the maples for sap and boil syrup, in March I start spinach, broccoli, lettuce, and other crops that go out in the cold frames early. I stage things out as a means of extracting hope from otherwise sad ( for me) months.
How wonderful! The winter months make so many sad…
