I know that sounds absurd, but think about it. The days are short, unless you are my brother and live TX or my Goddaughter in FL, spring is at least a month off. And then won't really come till after mud season. As I write this, it is alternating between snow and rain over here. Everyone has cabin fever. At least in March, even if there is a blizzard we can pretend we aren't in winter any more. Not so in February.
So, what is a modern mom supposed to do? Seed therapy (mentioned a couple of posts ago). Planning the garden is currently keeping me from going around the bend. I love the idea of building raised beds with Andrew, and thinking about how we are going to approach our yard so as to maximize the following: Flower happiness, tomatoes for canning (going to learn how to can this year), purple potatoes for chips, lotsa garlic (this actually got planted in Nov as a hedge in case Plan A didn't work), herbs, beans for eating and freezing, and the ever popular brussels sprouts!
Plus, I am looking forward to chasing Zach around the yard! And if we are really lucky, a small play station/swingset might appear.
And here are some pics of Andrew and Zach at the end of the day!
