can you say SPRING fever?

first off  i really do have spring fever... sorta early for this huh? do you think? i got this on the window in the front hall..... and i keep adding to it....
is that like sympathetic magic? you know......to hurry spring (and my garden) along?
then we have the REASON i actually have spring fever.....yup more snow.......still snowing too now that the light is full on.

i have the cats all fed their hot fancy feast (see thaddeaus eating his with some of the freshly planted eggplant and sweet pepper seeds) i ate, the budgies are fed as are the chickens...the ducks have to wait until they go out

bernie said down by his shop the snow isn't as bad. thats good as his fleet will roll.
meanwhile i am going to start (more or less) my day. i have the usual plus some knitting (just about done on the autumn leaves shawlette for jen)
i have some easter-ish ornaments to make cause i got bad spring fever.... not that anyone would NOTICE huh? but i got it so bad that i bought a spring green tablecloth for the table! now that's BAD

and if i have time i have to start a duck drawing (of amelia talking to the other ducklings) oh and a few more seeds to plant of sweet peppers, ....now should i plant some lettuce in small pots in the house? we're dying for greens so much so that we BOUGHT a bag of baby leaf lettuce.....
i still can't believe i bought lettuce..... where is my cold frame and greenhouse.....i NEED MY GREENS
oh and as an aside, bernie was reading 'territorial seed' catalog and now wants grafted tomatoes....yeah right, i don't have time to graft anything...i will however grow him ONE slicer..... most likely an heirloom ... well i don't want a billion tomatoes that i can't sauce or can sooooooooooo one heirloom slicer is about as productive a slicer as we can use ...no?
meanwhile i long to increase the size of the garden for sauce tomatoes, and sweet peppers.......some folks collect stamps or coins....me i collect pepper seeds (ok so i collect other things too but really love my sweet peppers)
and now i'll close today's post with a picture of himself ***thaddeaus peabody*** doing one of his MOST favorite things in the universe........ EATING HIS FANCY FEAST..... that's my boy!

  1. I planted a few lettuce seeds today on my kitchen windowsill. Was your lettuce outrageously expensive? What I saw in the store Sat. was almost $3 a head for cheap iceberg lettuce, that last week was $1. And celery was the same price. Yikes! I meant to plant lettuce in my kitchen windowsill before Christmas, but life got in the way. Now I wish I had, but better late than never.
