The first daffodil blossomed in my yard today.

I got outside today and worked on the compost -- gathered up leaves and added horse manure to the bin. Watered the garlic I planted late in the fall. Three cloves have sprouted. Yay!

Tend a garden? REALLY? The wind chill tomorrow morning is supposed to be -10! 
I searched all day for the plan I made, of what vegetables and herbs to plant and the flower pairings to attract pollinators and provide added beauty. In the past, I haven't grown as many flowers as I'm planning this year. They were mostly an afterthought.
Hoping for Spring soon ... 

Ordered the cow pots for starting my garden seedlings today. I'm really looking forward to weather that will allow me to work outside; for now, will have to settle for getting everything ready. I'm looking through catalogs, and laying out the plan for a new garden in the back yard.
