I adore snow storms and I'm even more tolerant of the cold this winter, as opposed to winters passed. I was also able to stand the cold ocean this summer -- maybe my body has finally achieved an acceptable level of fat? Whatever the reason, it has kept me from hibernating too much this season. Leaving the security and warmth of my bed is a struggle, but there is work to be done!
Pictured above are the first sprouts of my recycled-bottle garden. I had originally planned on buying all sorts of fancy, indoor-planting supplies -- but why bother? I already have what I need.

I've always loved planting things. It amazes me how fast seedlings sprout up and start reaching for the sun.

Hopefully in the next few months, the snow will melt and the ground will thaw. I plan to build raised beds, since the dirt is less than favorable. I'm going to use recycled materials if possible, including some sort of fencing material to keep the neighborhood cats from using my garden as a litter box.

Until then, I will happily tend to my little chair-top garden. The smell of the organic soil makes my heart beat a little faster, and the vivid, green seedlings bring hope in the monotone winter.
