Winter Will Never End...

  I woke up this morning to that glaring bright light that only comes from one thing...a garden full of snow..I scurried to my window and peered out...3-5 inches of white fluffy snow blanketed the earth..I've been thinking alot about the garden lately, going through my seed catalogs, and scimming through all those garden design books. I'm getting extremely anxious...somehow I forget it's only January 21st...winter is far from over..Take a look..
