What better day to catch up on bloggin' then a blizzard-y Sunday like today! I don't want you to think I've been slacking around, I've been super busy, on the contrary! I'm even bloggin' without publishing, that's where my head's at. See the snippit I wrote two weeks ago below:
<Hello from the land of wondering how I will ever get everything done in time!! Seeds are coming in from the two major companies I've ordered from, and I am creating list after list of supplies, equipment, things to think about, things to order, things to get organized!! How I will ever do it all, I have no idea, I only know that I will do it! For the fourth time an online supplier has deleted a list of equipment I was preparing to order, wasting hours of math I had done before I was smart enough to print out the page to save my work. I can't seem to wrap my head around doing it again.>
Well... I'm happy to report that I did get the gumption up to do the math again. Equipment has been ordered and received! I have stacked in my living room bags of compost, boxes containing tools and my cold frame, twine, stakes and row covering! I ordered the most kick ass grow light cart and assembled it myself (not without a few curses). My thoughts flew to the cliched Sunday funnies where couples curse vehemently while assembling the baby's crib from cryptic instructions. Well, this cart is my version of a crib, and next Friday(! it will be full of infant cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants!!! A shout out to my creative and talented friend Monica (check out her funny and poignant blog at omasaysrelax.blogspot.com) who gifted me this amazing found object seed organizer, pictured below. She thinks it's an old cassette tape holder. It's gonna come in so handy, as planting days are just around the corner! Here are this week's pics:

| Now I can see exactly what I have, and how much! It's even organized into the order it will go into the ground! |

| In the home stretch, but still befuddled by confusing instructions... |
 |
| Success!! Only four and a half hours of assembly required! |
 |
| Ain't she pretty and bright? It's like the Sun is renting a room in our basement! |

| Our blizzard this morning before things really got cray! I think there is a drift that has engulfed the Valstar in our driveway at this point! |
