So much to do, so little time!  But I'm ready.  I think.
It's still cold as heck here, but no snow in a while.  I'm not delusional enough to think it won't happen again, but now I have an old '85 Blazer with 4WD so we can get off this hill if necessary.  That was just horrid, 10 days stranded. 

February 14th I'll be getting my seeds started.  I got an idea for an indoor greenhouse and with luck it'll pay off.  With an old rabbit cage and the grow light I bought I should be able to get a decent start on a few things.  This week I'll finally get my butt down to the hardware store to buy some wood for the garden beds and the first 10-20 bricks for the rock wall.  I'm trying to stay focused on the main projects or I'll some how get myself entangled in a web of doing nothing as I get overwhelmed. 

I'm knitting again.  Finally.  I'm almost done with the second sock of the pair I started last year.  Then I get to decide if I'm going to start the Ice Queen or Amanda's Squatty Sidekick.  Decisions, decisions.  I've turned the heel and started on the instep gusset on the sock, so time is getting near that I have to choose. 

So what is everyone else doing to prepare for spring?

We're getting ready to start some seeds ourselves. That and I've been buying a case of canning jars every week to take the edge off that expense when it's time to start putting the bounty up :-)
In between, spending my time surrounded by yarn and crochet patterns listening to the wind howl...hard to think of being out there any time soon on days like this.

I don't think it'll be warm enough here to actually plant anything until March, so my main task for the moment is to try and work out a timetable for the year. Like, which seeds do we need to plant in March, which in April, when the various wild produce (damsons, unripe walnuts, elderflowers) I plan on using will be ripe for harvest and so forth. It's proving to be a very fiddly task and I keep getting confused. I think this coming weekend I should make a challenge of actually getting it all worked out.

I'm really looking forward to spring, though. I've had enough of the dark evenings and icy mornings.

Best wishes,
Jo
