March 28 - Spring is officially a week old, and I'm ready to spring into action - maybe I'll have pictures at some point.
My plan today is to get the house back in order, and start taking inventory of what I have on hand, plus what I'll need to see the garden ready for planting. Seeds, starters etc.
Just as an aside, I already had peas in the ground by this time last year, but this year seems to be somewhat more normal in terms of temperatures.
I walked the blasted ruins of my garden a few days ago, and saw spring onions coming up, and my indefatigable rhubarb plant showing it's first buds as well.
I'm insanely curious to see if my strawberry plants and winter carrots made it, but don't quite dare to remove the 18" of mulch that protected them all winter. April is a winter month in Maine, so we wait - at least a little longer!
I also plan to do a household inventory - to make sure I've got a well stocked pantry - I think its going to come in handy very soon.
My medical box is severely depleted, so I need to get on that and restock - pain relievers, allergy & cold meds, bandaids, peroxide, alcohol - all the little things we use up during the winter.
As with nature, spring begins, and I feel the need to emerge from the winter hibernation - much work to be done - much cleaning to accomplish.
Saw an interesting quote this morning that's stayed with me - "The love of comfort is the death of courage."
What an awesome thought.
