Getting into the Spring of things


So I'm trying to get excited about the warming of the weather.  I'm a winter gal.  I love the absence of ticks, mosquitos, pollen, and venomous wildlife that is the wintertime.  And I was built for cold.   Not heat and sun.  I come from a Nordic, wintry people and we wilt in the heat and humidity.

But I shall look for ways to cope and yeah, even enjoy the coming seasons.

For example, I have actually got seedlings sprouting in neat little trays on top of my frige and hutch.  I shall have tomatoes and snow peas and salad fixings this year.  Home grown.


The herb tray isn't looking as hot.  We shall see.  I planted LOTS of Lavender.  So far, not so graced by their presence yet.


And I shall commence battle against the ticks.  Advantixx for the doggies, and then widespread warfare with Tick Tubes by (and I just love their brand name) Damminix.  



Happy Spring!
