Oh, right, it's still technically winter.

Grab your shorts and grab your parka, folks, it’s time to play Weather Whiplash! Oh yes, it’s that time of year when you go through several costume changes in a single day just to keep a comfortable temperature. And don’t touch that thermostat! You can’t turn the heat off just yet!

My daffodils are coming up, and there’s a pair of ducks in the backyard. 

There’s also a hefty layer of frost on everything, and the furnace kicked back on in the middle of the night. There are sandals, snow boots, and garden clogs on the boot tray and secateurs, mittens and a packet of pea seeds on the counter. 

Spring is here, my friends!

And I’ve got just the thing to help you through this wild transition into warmer weather – zinnias! I’ve got about eight different packets of zinnia seeds, and they are all getting poked into seed starting mix today. (I’ve got to do something while it’s rain-snowing.)
