Longing for Spring…

DSC_0047

I can’t believe it. I’m sitting here wishing it were Spring soon. I actually caught myself considering how many months are left until time to start growing again.

Wow. I really got it bad.

I used to love this time of the year… the cold snuggle-up weather at night, the crisp cool breeze, the time to get caught up on work and naps and crafts…. yet I found myself outside looking at the garden this morning, what’s left of it and thinking, I really want to be planting and tending and all that!

I still have some clean up to finish and believe it or not some peas, broccoli and spinach and lettuce that is still doing it’s stuff. If the weather is nice tomorrow, I might spend a little time finishing up the last garden work of the year. Today was a little too wet and rainy and gloomy to do it.

I know that I want to get out with my super big tape measure… 100 foot long! And I want to measure out the whole lot and all. And make some really nice drawings of my beds and all that.

And of course, plotting and planning the new year’s farm, that will be fun and keep me busy.

But I saw these beautiful photos that Jessy took in the spring while looking through my photos and I just couldn’t help but stare at them a bit and feel the warmth of the spring sunshine and silently long for that time… oh… about 5 months away.

  1. I know exactly how you feel! I already got my seed catalog for next year’s garden and have marked all the pages of everything I want to plant. The one I got is http://www.johnnyseeds.com Even if you don’t order seeds, the catalog is free and is so much FUN to drool over! I daydream while at work about all the new raised beds I hope to put in. I do have spinach still growing in my cold frame, which does help keep the winter doldrums at bay. :)
