Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I've been snowed under (sort of literally) with writing deadlines and medical appointments, but I've resurfaced now. I have noticed the light is returning, and I actually saw buds on the maple trees, so there's hope of spring at some point.
It's always in February-March that the gardening bug hits me hard, and I start pawing through seed catalogues and drawing up diagrams of what I'll plant in the garden. We have a lovely big space to the side of the church where I wanted to put a jillion raised beds, but the septic system took up most of the area, so now I have to rethink and figure out what's safe to grow there. And then I have to talk myself out of doing any of it, anyway, because there's still a ton of work to do indoors, and there simply isn't time to do both. Maybe if I do a blitz for the next month or so, I can get things indoors to a point where I can focus energy elsewhere...but I'm not holding my breath. I'm finding it's the little things---the trim, the doorframes, the flooring, the cupboards and shelving---that take the most time.
