What is THAT?!? Oh, it's the sun.

What is that? What did you say? Is the sun actually shining? I believe it is. The sky is still mostly covered with clouds, but there is some sun trying to peek through. If anything, its at least a little brighter out today.

It's not even 10:AM and I have a headache. Today is picture day at school, and although the kids and I picked out clothes and got them ready last night, the morning was still rough.

But, the world did not stop spinning. The day did not stop and start over, simply because I was having a bad day. It's still going. That will lead to tomorrow, which is bound to be better!

I was watering plants yesterday, well, more accurately I was watering pots with soil and seeds in them, and noticed that one of the plants has started to sprout! I have hollyhock growing! It is so exciting to get to watch things come alive and grow! I just hope that I can keep them well indoors until it is warm enough outside. I don't think anyone has thought that our winter would be this harsh this long. It seems like it should be a lot warmer now than it is.

I am anxiously awaiting a book I ordered. It's about square foot gardening. I have been wanting to put a garden in, and was looking at numerous gardening books when this one popped up as a best seller. It uses raised bed gardens, which will benefit us and the type of yard we have. I cannot wait to get it and plan out what I think I will be able to grow this year! I'm hoping that it will help the kids get interested in gardening too. I've also heard that when kids grow their own foods and help prepare them, they're also more willing to eat them! We'll find out!
