I get more excited for Imbolc though (Ground Hogs day) as that is when we really start ramping out of the dark days of winter and make noticeable strides towards spring. <br /><br />Usually I am not as happy to take the winter season down time in stride, but this year I was really ready for it and have not felt such a panic to get it done and over with.kitsapFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120640838501186514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-43847607488817588032012-12-22T15:08:05.110-05:002012-12-22T15:08:05.110-05:00Sounds like you have been busy!

Happy Solstice! <br /><br />I hope you get some cold weather this year. <br /><br />Happy birthday, Happy Chanukah (Hanukkah--I've never understood why it has two spellings.). Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Sounds like you have a lot of fun parties to attend.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885394458317264217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-11155980563349148552012-12-21T17:49:53.580-05:002012-12-21T17:49:53.580-05:00Happy Solstice to you too!

Sometimes I envy the forced break that cold climate gardeners are forced to take, especially when I have to deal with a forest of lush green winter weeds (why can't the vegetables grow like that?), but the envy soon passes...Michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
