Heck, I start my countdown-to-spring in November. First we turn the clocks back in fall and then suffer through progressively shorter days until about apx. Dec. 21. Yes, there are a couple of cold, snowy months ahead, but the days are getting longer and that surely means Spring is right around the corner?! How else could we have time to review all those seed catalogs and make plans?
I've loved the warm temps this winter but have had too little precip. I only have a few daffodil noses poking up and am glad we have a big snow storm coming to dump a blanket on their little heads.
