Yesterday's weather kept us inside by the fire -
except for the necessary feeding, watering, cleaning times.
No matter the weather, we are out with our animals at least three times each day...
tending to their needs and keeping the manure from over-running us.
And... providing room service...
for anyone who prefers to remain indoors.
I truly don't mind venturing out in just about any weather,
but I have to say, sometimes the lure of a toasty fire is hard to resist.
I am really getting the gardening itch.
It's that time of year when I start to feel a tingle of impatience
just under the surface of my skin.
It's truly an itch that cannot be scratched just yet.
But... soon... very soon.
I normally have my sugar peas planted mid to late march...
so it won't be long now, not long at all.
We were lucky yesterday.
That Nor-Easter that hammered the eastern coastal regions skipped over us.
We started our day with snow...
then rain and snow...
but finished it a brief moment of sunshine followed by clouds.
Phew... dodged another bullet.
Although the weather keeps us from playing outdoors, we are never bored.
We bake...
(I frosted them with a butter/cream cheese frosting with lemon zest and the juice of a lemon)
a sourdough rye boule...
(I would recommend King Arthur Flour's sourdough starter... it's been wonderful to work with)
and make...
(Note to Georgia Honey Bee... these critters are "medium" in difficulty.
Not so much difficult as time consuming.
The patterns are by Little Cotton Rabbits...easily found and purchased on Ravelry)

So, we dream and scheme for the days that lie ahead.
So much to do... so much to enjoy...
but... every thing has its season...
and the seasons pass quickly enough.

A Nor-Easter is coming ourway today. I'm not as itchy for spring on days like today as I am on the warmer sunny days. We still have piles of snow.
