We were snowed in again yesterday. At this point, it really doesn’t matter. I think I ‘ve gotten used to it. I spread my projects out on the dining room table and spent the day meandering through them all. It’s too early to plant up the seeds but a few pots here and there give me something to look forward to. It’s exciting to see the little sprouts coming through and to check them each morning. March 1 st came in like a lion so you know what that means!

Out like a lamb, we hope. In Maine, for the past two days, it really does feel as though we turned some kind of corner with winter. Whatever March might bring—sometimes we can get a doozy of a storm—we are on the backside of winter. A good place to be.

It is! This winter here has been what I ‘ve imagined Maine to be like.

To us Southerners, your snow sounds like Heaven. I realize you have had too much, and the melting will be something, (!!!!) but to us down here in Georgia, it seems like getting snow would be a break in our routine. And I love the way snow casts such lovely light into the house. Sorry. I know you are tired of it.

Cynthia,
If you don’t have to make up the work (but I know you will) this could be a two week vacation in your sunny kitchen. We’ve had below zero weather here for a couple of weeks. A friend of was killed in a car accident Thursday morning when his car slid on a patch of black ice and he hit another vehicle. He was driving his mother’s little car; he had loaned his heavy truck to a friend for the day. The man in the other vehicle sustained a broken ankle, but my friend died. I love sunny kitchen winters, but I don’t like ice.

All I’m asking is where is the lamb? We got 4 inches of snow on the first day of Spring! No mind, I have kale, tomatoes and peppers all growing away in my basement and I planted sunflower seeds and gazanias and they are up and growing too. When I need a “dirt” fix, I head for the grow station.
Hope you guys don’t get any more snow!
