Dream time.

Yes, I am dreaming of Spring.
Don't get me wrong, winter does not affect me negatively. I love winter. I don't get cabin fever. I don't mind dreary days. I love the wood stove  and snowstorms and the beautiful pictures snow paints on everything. I love walking in the snow and I can't wait to get my puppy to walk with me.

But I am dreaming of spring. I sneaked a look at some exciting new seeds in the organic seed sections. I watch the little buds swelling on my trees . I wonder how earthworms and garlic bulbs are doing  under their snowy blanket. I am designing the fenced yard for my puppy in my head. I just can't wait . In the meantime there are so many exciting projects on the go, and spring might be catching up with them before they are done. Life is good!

Lets start with Christmas. Tyler brought me a wonderful Charlie Brown tree right from the woods. I loved it
