Oh Joy...

I just want to roll around nekkid
in them.. all of my beautiful seed packets.
Oh joy.
I do spread them on the table and run them
through my fingers though.
And no matter how complete my list,
without fail I notice something in the
online catalog when I order, add it in and then forget about it
so that there is a surprise in every packet!
This time it was Arumugam's Eggplant!
A lovely eggplant from India that
produces green white and lavender fruit.
Nice.

And I splurged a whole $2.50
for Clyde's planting chart.
Now, I do have a great little planting time booklet
that I printed off the computer and folded into a book
and I like it very much all tied with it's red ribbon....
but Clyde's slides! It is all nifty and it slides.
It tells me how terribly behind I am in my seed starting..
Oh cripes.
I will never catch up since you cannot gain time
and time waits for no woman and other time related quotes
that serve to remind me that spring is coming and I have so much yet to do.
And speaking of spring, there was snow mixed in with the heavy
rain that pounded my windshield early this morning.
But we have the woodstove chugging and are warm and snug.


And speaking of snug...
Here is Old Blue Sue on her throne of barn gear.
She has a soft and comfy bed all freshly laundered and fluffy,
but she chooses to pull down smelly jackets onto reaking shoes
to sprawl for a daily nap.
Dogs.


Oh, and I have eggs hatching today. 3 so far.
Oh joy
