Spring in bloom

New growth

These may seem like very strange pictures to be excited about but my herb garden to sprouting. I have A summer time herb garden that I do anticipate many herbs to come back up , being perennials but I started an indoor garden in a portable hothouse to have herbs all winter long. The ones I brought in from fall lasted quite a while but without sufficient sunlight and warmth they soon died. New growth has started with a grow light and natural sunlight. I love fresh herbs, grow many during the summer and hope to expand this summer with even more. BUT, never fail, I will always have the basics of basil, thyme, and oregano.I love the variety of lemon basil, spicy and the aromatic rosemary and thyme.

Winter Beauty

I got up early this morning and the calmness, pristine whiteness, beauty in snow got me right out the door. I made the first trail around my house in such silence, listening to the chick-a dee place his call. Once all the paths are shoveled, it will be a great day to do some snow shoeing and playing with the Little Bear in the snow. The St Lawrence river is frozen but still holds her magnificence, she has been getting quite a few ice fishermen out on it these days, enjoying a great winter sport.
