The Morning

Why is it that extreme cold makes the prettiest mornings? It is 22 degrees this morn and the view from my chair is just beautiful. I face due west and the frost is thick and the sky is pink fading to the palest blue. The light fog is hovering right on the edges of the hills and field. I can see a few of the neighbors sheep all fluffed up and looking for breakfast. The road is a bit icy, so the few cars that are traveling are going very slow, keeping the noise down. Lovely.

Yesterday was another cold one, but the blessing of the clear sky is the afternoon sun. We spent a good while working on the garden. It's a mental pick me up to "get some sun on my bones", as well as do some needed preparation for spring. I set up all the cold frames to start the little broccolis and such and put up an extra fence to keep out the naughty chickens who would love to try my seedlings. If today goes as well, I will get half of the hoophouse prepared for planting the heat loving plants in a couple weeks. My rabbit is living in there now, dropping her extra special fertilizer in my summer pepper bed.

Spring is coming. Thank you, God for the changing seasons!

I've got the two hoophouses here but one is being used for the chickens and ducks right now. We'll get that other half hoop over here and change them out, then we can start on the planning;)
I have to say though, I am not sure it's going to be weather cooperative in a couple weeks to start my hot plants:( We'll see, the Good Lord surprises me daily so why not that too:P
Toodles!
