Oh Spring, Where Art Thou?

January 13, 2010

I’m stunned. Stunned that it is 2k10. Stunned by the relentless cold weather and the daily wearing of long underwear that is required to keep warm. I’m stunned. Perhaps that’s why I’ve cocooned into my house, burrowed into my work and become a recluse on par with Howard (you know, of long fingernail fame).

I woke the other morning dreaming of a garden. It was actually a nightmare; all of my plants had frozen. But, I’m truly yearning, already, for spring. I have a running list ticking in my mind, of all manners of things that will be accomplished once we defrost.

Composting is high on my list. I know, I’m a weanie for not going ahead with this project now. January and February are just so great for sitting by the fire and dreaming.

Raised bed gardening is on my list, too; along with container gardening. I’ve started trying to find interesting containers on ebay to make my side garden interesting. Oh, how I ache for longer days, when the classified ads will be filled with garage sales just waiting to be explored!
