This time of year I find myself just kind of lingering and putzing around the garage at my garden shelf preparing whatever I can for the season. Vera and I returned from a walk today and I let her keep sleeping in the stroller as I straightened up some things on my shelf: sorting through branches I keep for making impromptu trellises pulling out the bamboo poles I may use for a mason bee house, organizing the collection of stakes and broken broom handles I use as stakes, checking my buckets of peat moss and bone meal to see if I need to restock, and generally whisk brooming my shelves so they're tidied and ready. I opened the coldframe on this beautifully sunny day to give the spinach some air circulation and better light. And I'm hoping to start deciphering the lean-to greenhouse erection directions this weekend. I smell spring in the air--even though they call for more snow possibly this weekend. I will relish the moment and think positively about warm weather soon.
