Brutal Winter!
I look at the last entry and cannot help but giggle that the “predictors” were saying it would be a MILD winter. It has been anything but mild. The snowfall has been ample, the northern breezes blustery and the succession of frigid days has been like winters long past, tragically drawn out and unyielding, ugh. Besides gardening, I like to run and the weather has made running virtually impossible. I am ready, anxious and at my wits end for spring’s arrival. It cannot come too quickly for me. So, the seed magazines and starter plant catalogs can come fill my mailbox tomorrow because my head is already dreaming of magnolia blossoms. I’ll never complain of the lack of Kansas snowfall again, I’ve sledded more this season than the last 10! But enough is enough, I’ve had my fill of barreling down Campenile at break neck speeds. The nights by a roaring fire were romantic and cozy, but we can retire the embers for this season, please. Busily daydreaming of spring!
