Our reality today remains to be one of ice and snow and freezing temperatures. We are supposed to reach a mighty minus 18 Celcius today – an improvement, but still frigid for sure!
Fortunately, I am retired! I can stay indoors, work out with my husband, and anticipate the coming of spring. I even started seeding bedding plants this week. 💐🍅🥗
It is a waste of life to spend time worrying about the future and what it may bring, but in the frozen north anticipating spring and preparing for its arrival is one of life’s greatest pleasures.
Keep safe & stay warm 🌤️

You are so right Anne Marie about the anticipation of spring being a great gift. I got a delivery of seeds in the mail today, and I’m over the moon!

We actually have similar temperatures up in the mountains, only one hour from here by car. Last time I was there the temperature was around -15

I wish it snowed more often in Rome: last time it happened was back in 2017, if I remember well. Anyway we have plenty of mountains around

They are having a horrid time in Texas and other southern states right now. They have gotten feet of snow, they have no equipment or training to deal with it, they have heating and power and water outages. It is just horrid for them.

Horrid indeed, hope the snow melts soon or they get heating and electricity back

I am right along with you looking forward to spring. We have more snow than we have ever had in our area and issues that have come up because of all the snow…but still much to be grateful for. Hoping you will keep posting the progress of your seeds and plants.

Yes! Always love looking through gardening magazines and anticipating when the flowers will begin to pop their heads through the ground in the spring.
