snow


the world dressed in white
It has been snowing for the past 48 hours. White, fluffy, softness. 18 inches of white, fluffy softness. We have three foot long icicles hanging from our roof, and so much snow you can't open the front door. But in true Colorado style the moment the sun comes out the snow starts to melt.

It is the perfect day to stay inside and plan a garden. I have been collecting seeds. There is something inside of me that can't walk by a shelf of them without reaching out to look at one. My favorite packs this year are all form Renee's Garden. I have already started quite a stash. One of the things that is lovely about Renee's Garden is that there is a wide variety of Heirloom seeds as well as flowers and herbs. Small space gardening and container gardening has become very popular in the last few years, and Renee has not fallen behind. It almost makes the fact that I have to plant in pots again this spring bearable. Almost.
For now, I will enjoy the snow and dream of the sweet spring time.
