    I will be dreaming about what I will be doing in the garden in spring. :p I will probably be planning what new things to add to the garden and I also like to watch what plants that I have inside grow each day. I may even start some plants inside for spring. Other than that, I will mostly be working, sleeping :D, and going to school.

    I started doing what I will be doing in the winter about a month and a half ago--namely plannung for the coming growing season for the flower garden and veggie gardens.
    I am also looking to digitalize some of my travel pics from slides. I have literally thousands...so it will take time.
    What I really need to do is to resign from my job. I like working hard but I also need time to play hard. Who knows what the future holds.

    I want to reply to the little comment that KK snuck into his last reply: More than a year of knowing you, KK -- I'm so lucky! We're so lucky! I look forward to seeing your posts here for a long long time!!

    Jerry...you have to post a photo of that case when you complete it!

    We are working on remodeling just about every room in our house. That's what happens when you buy a house for the yard and view!

    I also have a new buddy...a conure parrot. She is hibernating with me by the fireplace until spring!

    Continue to do yard clean up when weather is mild. Eldest child wants to homestead in spring. So I need to get as much done around here as possible.

    *sigh* build another house. Hope it doesn't kill me.
