feeling spring

I want to go play in the dirt, frolic in the sun, and giggle in romantic delirium.  Instead, I place my empty seed trays at the window sill underneath my new LED grow light and snarl at the pile of snow outside that has grown far too old in my mind.  Weeks spent editing, however, have yielded a very nice garden plan for this year!

The same pile of snow has been on the ground for 2 months.  It's been depleted a little... and then refreshed a little.  I expect it to remain unaffected for another month.  Give it another 6 weeks after that to slowly melt away.  I hear somebody running a snow blower this morning.

Here's December 25th on the left and February 15th on the right.


I want spring.  Mother Nature seldom listens to me, though.
