February...already... how does the time go by so quickly?
It's been rather springy weather this past week. I've spent a few days in the garden, put-zing around.
I've been taking it kinda like this guy...s-l-o-w... So long as I take my time and don't work too hard, I seem to be able to get through without too much pain.
My seed orders arrived and I spent time going through all the ones I've collected over past years, sorted them and put them in better storage. I made notes in my garden journal of what I have and what the packets said about planting, growing, etc. I'm a little confused on some things, I'll have to do some research.
Now that I have all these seeds, I've still to sort where they will all get planted. Somethings that I would grow for herbal medicines or vegetables can't be grown on the side by the wood fence due to my neighbor's father's love of roundup weeding. Drives me nuts...
I'm planning to eventually have a long border along the fence of flowers. I do need to move my Joe Pye this year - but to where, I've no clue.
These lovelies are sprouting up. I've been saying for years that I want to add more crocus, daffodils and tulips to the gardens. Hopefully this will be the year.
I've also spent lots of time in the studio. The creating bug has bitten and I'm happily making things. I seem to be keeping a sketch pad close by everywhere and can see improvement in my sketching. Happy, happy!
I'm off to the lake this weekend for a visit with friends. The daughter of my heart (but not my blood) is riding up with me tomorrow with everyone else following Friday.
Is anyone else having trouble with Blogger? For months I've been unable to get to my reading list. I can't change it and have reached my Blogger allowed limit and cannot add any new blogs to my list. It is unbelievably frustrating! I'm seriously considering moving to another service. Any recommendations?
Hope you all have a lovely weekend. I hope to have photos from the lake next time. I'm planning on working on my photo-taking skills while there.

PS...If you live in the Northeast of the US, I hope that you stay safe and warm. I'm a bit envious of the blizzard, they say is headed that way. I've never lived through one, but I've always wanted the experience.
Stay safe!

I thought it would be time to plant seeds here in southern Arizona, ut it snowed on Wednesday! Couldn't believe the weather here!
That's awesome that you have so many seeds. I planted some last year, and the pesky doves that moved into the neighborhood, ate the buds before they grew into anything larger.
I look forward to seeing your garden!
Hello Laura,
If I understand your blogger problem correctly concerning your reading list. I too was having problems till I discovered that the button which looks like a wheel on your dashboard, just to the right of the blogs you follow. Click on it and it will open up your list so you can manage them.
Hope it helps.
"That's awesome that you have so many seeds."
Definitely, you can surely add crocus.. It would be very lovely and colorful.
