I woke up to the downpour of rain yesterday morning, which as you saw in yesterday's post, quickly turned to snow. I for once, was glad to see it.
It was my excuse to hunker in for the entire day and do something I do not normally have the time to do - read a book.
Our 16 year-old was up making us all omelets for breakfast, which started our day out great - potatoes, bacon, green peppers, etc. Mmmm.

Garden Planning ~ Puppy Updates
I'm adding many new herbs to the gardens this year - feverfew, yarrow, tarragon, valerian (did not grow this last year), white horehound and summer savory.
My lavender plants died the winter we had temps at -22°F here, so I have new organic seeds ordered. I did some research on hawthorn, and I am pretty sure I will find it growing wild along the edges of our property. Stinging nettle, catnip and plantain are all wild here too.
