From now on, I'm giving myself only an hour of computer time at home... that gives me enough time to blog and check e-mails. The Internet is stealing all my time!

Resolutions are HARD

37*, 100% humidity, E 3 mph wind, cloudy OK, do you know how hard it is to find local foods this time of year? If it were just me, I could survive on beans and rice if I had to until I found a source of local meat. I'm sure it has to be out there somewhere, after all, there are farms around. But until I can find some, I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and buy meat. You see, Mr. Hyper

It feels like spring….

58*, 87% humidity, S 16 mph wind, cloudy, FLOOD WATCH The snow is all gone, the ice is gone, and the air is a reasonable and mild temperature, only to get warmer tomorrow. It drives me nuts. It makes me want to grab the spade and start shoveling and to start weeding and planting and puttering. It's just cruel I tell you. Give me spring fever and then take it away later with more snow and ice.

23*, feels like 13*, 66% humidity, S 9 mph wind, fair I spent 3 days sick (it wasn't a hang over after all, but a case of eating BAD SHRIMP at a party), and so have not started working on my new healthy habits for 08. These habits include everything from eating locally, exercising more (you will have to see my other blog tired soles for this) and getting back on the more sustainable lifestyle

32*, feels like 26*, 66% humidity, W 7 mph wind, cloudy My main goals for next years garden is going to be something like this: 1) REALLY try to produce as much food from the garden as possible this year. 2)Eat as much as I grow or put up extra for the winter. 3)Add for future garden productivity (bushes, trees, more garden beds) 4) Rabbits for food and chickens for eggs--they add manure too.
