3 day weekend


i decided to give myself a 3-day weekend starting right now. actually, i don't have a ton to do, except for class prep for monday. i swear, i need to get out of the house today, and i am happy to see the sun peeking out.

plans include:
• hanging with Jesus
• hanging with His friend kristie, possibly (involves her leaving her house, also)...
• making shortbread
• making valentines
• making up my seed order


i've been anxiously waiting for this post for almost a month. i think the first seed catalogue rolled in the day after christmas. i have saved them, not looked at any of them except for a quick peruse.


the all-time best seed catalogue comes from baker creek. it's huge/oversized and the photos are phenom. they do only heirloom seeds, and they don't endeavor to only pick the 'heroes' for their photo shoots. although, they do shoot some weird specimens. can't you almost taste these pics?


they also make you want to try things you've never grown before.


sigh. big sigh of relief. this weekend, we get to kick january to the curb. that means only 2 short months until this frozen tundra goes away. i plan to use the time wisely, and live each day as fully as possible. but a little section of my brain is going to be reserved for THEN.


happy friday!

I just placed my order from Baker Creek yesterday. I do not have a catalog though. Maybe next year they will send me one...

(And I may have gone a little nuts with the tomato varieties...)
