One of my favorite traditions of the New Year is receiving seed catalogs in the mail. This is not a tradition I purposefully create, but one that I look forward to anyway.
The catalogs usually start to arrive on the first or second day of January—we got one today, as a matter of fact, late because of the holiday, I’ll bet.
Does anyone else have those days when the cold is just…aggravating? When you’d just like to be done with it already? Today was one of those for me.
However, when I came home and opened the mailbox…ahhh,…I could feel the thaw begin as my hungry eyes took in bright pictures of blueberries, strawberries, shiny apples and bunches of flowers.
That’s just what I needed to get me through a few more days of winter.
Only four more months to go...
