Winter's Almost Over!

We've made it through the dreary, dark, cold months of January and February.  So my thoughts are now turning to Spring!  My friend, Heather, gave me a beautiful Hyacinth that I will plant outside soon.  And I bought 2 packs of seeds the other day, Italian Parsley and Cilantro.  I'll be sprinkling them in the garden some warm day this month.  Things are looking up:)

I love when the days start to get noticeably longer.  It just makes me feel like doing something outside.  I will start with simply wiping off the railing on my back porch, so I can stand there and look at the sky without getting black winter dirt on my hands!

Even though Winter isn't over yet, give yourself a shot in the arm. Wipe off one railing, buy some seeds, or just go outside and breathe some fresh air.  Winter's almost over!
