The snow in my backyard has me dreaming of warmer days, furry caterpillars crawling on leaves, butterflies, crickets chirping, and little green grasshoppers. I also find myself thinking about "maybe not such pretty things" like worms, spiders, and slugs. Why do I think about insects and creepy crawlers? When I find them I am drawn to their strange ways, and I want to stand there and stare at them- maybe not always TOUCH them, but stare for sure.
This snow also has me dreaming of green sprouting plants and hours in the sun watering and care taking. I have a spot picked out in the backyard to begin a garden... and the idea is growing (get it) in my head. I have been googling building gardens and have decided to go with it and- with the man's help- get to it! ... when this snow melts.
I have been wanting to start a blog, so what a perfect reason. I can blog and post pictures of my puffy, shiny, colorful vegetables! Right now they are imaginary, but they will be here soon. Now I must decide on seeds and do some research when I should begin my little seedlings.
