We are soon at that point of winter where
there is as much of it behind us as there is in front of us.
It's that time for dreaming about spring and all of the new life that comes along with it.
We are enjoying our snow...
some more than others.
Have you ever taken a snow bath?
Think spa treatment.
Oakley's favorite!
We are also at the point in the year where some of us are looking a little shabby.
At the top of the shabby list is the vegetable garden.
Oh my....it's sad looking.
Half of the garden beds are disassembled and the rest are awaiting their turn.
Come spring we will be doing a major garden overhaul...
new boxes, new arrangement.
Everything will be spruced up for the coming summer.
Now, however, while the snow is still on the ground, is the time for dreaming
and scheming...
planning and very soon planting seeds in the greenhouse.
So, at this time of winter when we all need a pick me up...
I am having a little give-away.
I am filling this farm-made, 9 X 12, wool felt project bag with dreams of springtime...
a surprise!...
and sending to someone picked randomly.
Leave me a comment and I will put your name in a hat.
Tell me the what you love most about Spring.
Random winner will be posted here on Monday.
Happy Groundhog's Day....I am hoping he's seen his shadow!!

I am looking forward to spring with new motivation, as it will be our first spring in North Carolina! Awaiting the return of color, birds and even more spectacular sunrises. It'll all be new to us.
Your bag is beautiful, but please don't include me in the giveaway. I just wanted to share...
Good luck, everyone!
Most of all no snow!!
Have a good day, Janie
But ancient trees dripping with lavender wisteria blossoms and bright pink and red azaleas exploding into a riot of tiny flowers ... well, those aren't bad either.
Thank you for getting us through this portion of the winter! (and so sorry about your SIL's horse.
like new bright green leaves on a tree--
or a flower just getting started and one has to wonder what color it will be when it does 'pop'--
and lots and lots of birds singing in each new day--
a faithful reader--love each and every post--
enjoy the moments,di
Great pictures-love the snow romps there.
You don't have to include my name in the giveaway because I won one not too long ago. Anyway, I love a bright spring day when I can smell the bay as the ice melts and the scent of water fills the air. I also love to listen to the birds calling to one another in trees as they search out new homes.
Hope you have a great Thursday- xo Diana
I love your dog making snow angels. So cute!

Over here, the news says that we might even have snow into March, which means it is a very cold and long winter for us here! I don't think it will get warm until late April or early May! Boo...
Things I LOVE about spring...
1. The thing I love the most is seeing my honeybees leave their hives again to start foraging.
2. I love it when the bulbs start to send their green shoots through the ground. The anticipation of waiting for the bloom is almost unbearable!
3. The song birds start to sing loud and proud in the early morning - harbingers of milder weather!
Have an awesome day!!
I love your blog. I'm a long time reader, that doesn't comment. But your giveaway drew me out. LOL. ;) Mostly because it's something you've created. I love handmade!
