So I've pretty much been in deep-hibernation mode for the better part of this winter! I celebrated Yule and Christmas at Mom's. My sister and her husband were in from Michigan, and I wanted to spend as much time with them as I could, so the kids and I stayed at Mom's for about a week and a half. The kids and I returned to our house on December 28th, which is when my deep winter "slumber" really kicked in. Since Dec. 28th I've only been away from my home a total of 4 times - and only because those outings were for Dr. appointments, and to help Zach with a presentation at school!
The good news is that despite the fact that Old Man Winter is still holding on tight, I am starting to feel like a human being once again (as opposed to feeling like a big, grumpy grizzly bear). I think my Spring Fever has started to kick in a little prematurely -- I'm dying to be able to get started with the gardening. I would like to start some more seeds indoors, but I really don't have a suitable place with adequate lighting to keep the flats. Eventually, I'd like to get a proper shelving unit designed for incubating seeds and young seedlings. But for now, I need to either come up with a creative (inexpensive) solution, or wait until it's safe to plant the seeds directly outdoors.
