25*, feels like 15*, 63% humidity, NE 9 mph wind, cloudy, FLOOD WARNING Friday, at last. Not that this has been a bad week (except for my grumpy butt syndrome yesterday morning) I am just glad the weekend is here. Having a WHOLE weekend off is exciting to me. It hasn't happened in a long while. This weekend I hope to hit the Heron Rookery about 20 minutes away, where the herons should be busy

Some of y'all may have seen these lists bumping around in the blogger world and so I too will list what makes me happy (or just 8 of them as it takes very little to make ol' girl gone gardening happy). Here they are in no particular order: 1) Starting plants from seed. Sure, sometimes there is some cursing involved like "Oh crap-noodles! MOLD!" but overall it is an engaging and fun experience.

34*, 64% humidity, calm wind, cloudy, SEVERE WEATHER ALERT: Snow Advisory up to 6" Every now and then I do a search on Google or yahoo for 'Free Seeds'. You never know just what will pop up.

48*, 54% humidity, SSW 15 mph wind, cloudy I woke up plenty sore today. My neck is sore, so is my sternum (there is a small bruise there) and I still have that slight headache.

54*, 34% humidity, W 15 mph wind, cloudy With the rest of the week predicting freezing weather and possible snow, I KNEW my time has run out for puttering around in the garden. It was all business this morning for me. I got up first thing and drove around the neighborhood to leaf piles and loading up on them. I didn't have to go far before I hit the mother load of maple leaves. I brought them
