Brrr....

It is a chilly 6F outside this morning.  Brrr...  Chilly isn't really the right word- it's COLD!  After a spate of single digit temps a couple of weeks ago the greenhouse is looking pretty pathetic.  I think I may still have a few things out there that have survived- chard, kale and spinach- but they aren't really growing.  Still, when it warms up again they should take off quickly. But I guess I had salad from the greenhouse for Christmas so I can't complain too much.
It's about time to start looking at the seed catalogs and begin dreaming of the 2013 garden. It's still a bit early to plant even the early stuff but I'm hopeful for the coming year.  I need to decide what my new plant of the year will be.  Hmm... what to plant, what to plant?

I've been busy sewing this weekend.  I'll soon have photos to post.  I finally finished the long skirt with a bustle for me that I started over New Year's and on Saturday I whipped up a walking skirt for Justine that just needs hemmed.   I think maybe next I'll work on a jacket.  Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Today is my day off so I need to get busy if I'm going to get anything done.  I've got so much on my plate right now that I have to be careful how I juggle or I'm going to drop something.

  1. Even though I'm retired (!) and not working an outside job, I often find myself in a stew about all I have/want to do with not enough time. When that happens, I stop and think about you and all you're juggling. Then I pull up my socks and stop thinking *I* don't have enough time!

    1. It's pretty fun. Now I just need to hem Justine's skirt so she can take it back to Philly with her at the end of the week.

  4. A walking skirt? Is this for a re-enactment or?
