The Cole Homestead

Winters frist snow and I am thinking of Spring!

I know that there is so much that needs to be around here this winter but I just seem to want to focus on Spring. 

There is still wood to be cut not to mention the wood cook stove to install.  Leaves to clean up and toys put away before the snow settles.  Not to mention Christmas around the corner.  So many presents to make and cookies to bake. 

Well, I am looking forward to Chocolate Sunday.  We have a lady in our nearest town that has what she calls Chocolate Sunday once a year.  The first Sunday in December she has a big sale on all of her cake pans, cake decorations and best of all her stash of chocolate.  You can buy mint, colored mint, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, molds, and even different cream centers for your chocolates. 

After all of that has been completed I am ready for Spring!  I have already picked out the chickens that I am going to order and even planned the garden.  I love being able to wiggle my toes in freshly turned soil.  I guess I will just have to be patient and wait.  Winters has its joys also but it can't hurt to look to the future!
