Spring time dreams

A here,

My awesome neighbor just brought over some carrots out of her garden and it made me wish spring was in the air instead of winter. Not only does winter last half the year (and that's a short winter) around my parts but it gets COLD! Ridiculously cold....like negative 30 I swear. I have a pair of cross country skis and I have been telling myself that "this year" is the year I will commit to doing it at least twice a week for the past 4 years. But I really think that THIS YEAR is THE YEAR!! Working out has made me want to be more active so I think I just might get off my lazy bum and do something this winter :) Maybe if I have a wintertime activity the winter won't seem as long...we shall see.

Bringing it back to the carrots. DELICIOUS. Nothing is better than fresh. And fresh out of my neighbors ground is perfection. The only thing that could make it even better is if it came out of MY garden. I am excited for this spring because we are going to work on our yard and my garden! The outside of my house is in need of some serious help. We are on 2 acres and don't even have a yard. It's just weeds and dirt. So Mr. Wonderful told me to tell him what I want and he would make it happen. I just love those words..."whatever you want honey!" Perfect. So we are going to get a big yard for our 3 kids to play in and I am going to get a big garden. I plan on filling it with lots of delicious fruits and veggies. I have a really good friend who told me that some flowers will make help certain veggies grow. WHAT?! So my garden is going to be delicious and beautiful. Just what I like to hear!

This winter (in addition to cross country skiing) I will be busy researching, planning, and laying out my visions for a vegetable & fruit garden. I will continue to buy Bountiful Baskets but ideally I would like to have my own supply and only have to buy veggies and fruits at the store sparingly. One can dream...

I have lots of fun posts lined up for the winter so if cross country skiing doesn't work out for me there will be other things to blog about! ha


Until next time,
xoxo
