A rainy Wednesday afternoon

The last of our snow and ice melted away last night. I'm not sorry to see it go--it always starts to look slushy and dirty after a day or two, and then it's just unnecessarily messy. Not fun. Speaking of messy, it's been raining since late last night. Even though it's warmed up quite a bit, it still feels really chilly since everything is sopping wet. A little while ago I had to put a leash on George and force him to go outside. He hates rain, and he hadn't peed all day. Both dogs will walk to the back door, look out, and turn right back around. I don't blame them, but I do feel bad for them.

Since I'm stuck in the house and Gregg works on Wednesday afternoons, I'm making a loaf of homemade bread. I made a loaf a couple of days ago and it's almost gone. Making bread seems to get easier the more I practice. That's true of everything, I guess.

Oh! And look what came in the mail today! My first seed order for this year. 


I'll be starting my tomato seeds this week, since they need to be ready to plant by mid-April. The three bigger packets are two kinds of lettuce (Merveille des Quatre Saisons and Forellenschluss) and carrots (Red Cored Chantenay). It will soon be time to start those, too.

Poor George! Those seeds make my heart hurt for warmer temps and spring. Jennifer your new profile pic is very nice. :^)

You're going to have the best salads! I was going to say that April is too early/cold for us to plant here but today is an unheard of 64 degrees. The weather has gone wacky!
