NOBODY TUCKED ME IN THE SHED, but even so, I’m starting to get bored like the gnome in doodler Andre Jordan‘s cartoon. It’s mostly neither here-nor-there weather so far locally, not winter but not fall, either. What we all need is a good chill period. Bring it on; let’s gets some proper, deep sleep so we can wake up in the coming spring all full of stored-up energy and ready to really blossom.

I couldn’t agree more. Here in lower Michigan, we are having the same type of weather. Today is was grey, raining and 50 degrees. Hardly fitting for Dec 16th. I am already itching to get out into the garden and start my new plans for the season.
I love your blog. Thanks for sharing!
Cute and true.
Nice to “meet” you, Susan. So hoping for the Big Chill over here!
My sentiments exactly. Yesterday I went into the backyard and messed around with the bird feeders. That’s as exciting as it got.
You sound like a mason bee Margaret! Staying in your cocoon, bored to death, but waiting with anticipation the upcoming spring to do all chores… busy as a bee can get!
I’m back visiting my parents during grad school winter break. They are so far behind with fall chores that I am grateful for the warm weather–it gives me the opportunity to cut down the herbaceous perennials and put down the mulch that is blocking the driveway! Once I’m done with that, I will be doing snow dances. We need a real winter!
Me too!! The bird feeders and the amaryllis just aren’t doing it but I am getting a lot of knitting done. Am excited for your new book!!
Not bored today. We’re having unseasonably warm weather so I stuck a batch of garlic in the ground cause I was out of town when they should have been planted so I figured “Why not try it”, but best of all planted spinach and arugula in a raised bed, placed an old sliding patio door over it and feel so good with dirt under my fingernails. Love doing this cause it feels like I’m cheating!
Thanks for saying hello, Dave. I don’t know much about mason bees…must learn more!
