Who can guess the weather anymore? Last week saw us in tshirts planting early cover crops. And come to think of it, New Year's Day we took a paddle on Penobscot Bay in almost 50 degree weather! But now March ends with us back in wool huddled by the woodstove with snow falling outside. Fingers — and toes — are crossed for a return to gorgeous. We want to garden!

Not much skiing this winter. Instead there were lovely walks to favorite spots;

some reading and dreaming in front of the wood-burning stove;
my garden guru always makes great suggestions...can't put this one down
plenty of shenanigans with our flock of girls (all are now laying!);
“Lucy” knows our naming her proves us more animal lovers than ranchers
plus some cooking;
pumpkin from friend + eggs from our chickens + “healthy” crust recipe
and crafting, too.

The longer days outdoors are probably still way ahead. Back to our reading for now.
