Plant It and Spring Will Come

Jan
1

It’s January! I love January, love putting up the new calendar, love the new month that is only a few scant months away from SPRING! Okay, okay, I know that there are two months of winter left, and snow and zero degrees to come, and frozen pipes to boot, Wait, I left those frozen pipes back at the old farmhouse. I have spoken.

This is the time of year when I want to do something, anything, to make spring come quicker.

Planting seeds is a quick fix, even if they come in a Chia kit. Hey, it’s a Chia herb kit!!

It’s actually kinda weird. It has this spongey thing that is like, but not like, potting soil. Anyway! We don’t care. We just need to plant something!

The kit came with four little pots and six packets of seeds. The instructions said to pick the four you wanted to plant and save the other seed packets. Uh, I don’t think so! I rustled up two more little pots and planted them all–marjoram, chives, dill, basil, parsley, and cilantro.

Then I put sandwich baggies over the top to simulate a greenhouse while the seeds germinate.

Spring will be here any minute. I’m feelin’ it!!!!

P.S. Happy New Year! (Eat your corned beef and cabbage!!)

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
