The Swamp in Winter

Couldn't stand it any longer.   I'm so hungry to see some green growing thing (besides conifers and lichen) that I bought seeds. I know it's too early to even start squash and pumpkin inside.  However I had to plant something or burst!  I picked up a packet of catnip and one of cat grass.  Brent had given me a metal tray w/ sides and I had a bunch of small clay pots. (By the way: If you ever are offered free clay pots, take them.  They have a myriad of uses.)  I put seed starter in 6 of them, planted 3 w/ catnip and 3 w/ cat grass, nestled them into the metal tray, and carefully added water.  I'll put it in the sun and watch it grow.  I feel satisfied and Ori, who has a bit of cabin fever also, will have a nice surprise in a little while.  We are under a storm watch tonight and tomorrow.  It's OK - let it snow.

Yes, something green would be a little sign that Spring will come again. Can't wait.

For some odd reason I am seeing glimpes of Grandma Pearl in you. JVM

This picture should be in a frame. Beautiful.
