This is the official start of my "New Year" as I whined on and on about January yesterday. I even drank an alcoholic beverage last night to toast the new month. Unusual for me. Sat at the computer drinking some Bailey's Irish Cream - my daughter gave me two sampler bottles for Christmas and it was just right. I only drank one - another awaits for the next toast. I couldn't sleep so I was sitting at the computer (drinking alcohol) looking for Facebook friends at 1:30 am. I gained several I'll have you know. All former colleagues. I liken Facebook to walking by someone in the hall and saying hi! I'm too old to understand its appeal I guess. The hall is big I guess and that's a good thing.
As we begin the month, I heard red wing blackbirds when I took Coco out for her stroll and roll (in the snow). Their call always make me think of spring.
My pal M-A sent me a link to a pdf file that you can print out and order your garden seeds from the students at Keene Central School to help them raise funds for their trip to Spain. Good deal on seeds and great cause. Come together, help the kids and grow yourself a Victory Garden. Given this economic climate, we should all be growing food. I'm looking forward to putting my dad to work on a garden this spring. We will do a couple of raised beds as our soil is clay and I can't bend over with my brain shunt pressure. If you have any advice for me on raised bed gardening, it would be most welcome.
Here's the link for Keene seed order form:
