I had an interesting conversation with my students this week. We talked about how there are some days in Vermont that are so oppressively hot and other days that are so bitterly cold. We calculated that within a year, we experience about a 110 degree range! Wow!

I must admit that while drinking my tea and thumbing through my favorite magazines I am longing for those warm sunny days! I look out the window and I am reminded that it is only January and it is indeed snowing and bitterly cold!

While I wait for Spring to take it's turn, I will try to bring some cheeriness indoors to combat the winter chill.

The indoor plants, the Burpee seed catalog, and garden magazines will have to fill the void.

Waiting for Spring to arrive once again...

and my gardens to begin!
