It's still winter

It's still winter. I'd like to believe the prophesy of the old groundhog on February 2nd - ONLY six more weeks of winter. February is cabin-fever month the time when people with money fly off to warmer climes.

Winter has its up-side. No garden guilt. I don't have to feel guilty for sitting on the couch, curled up knitting. I don't have to feel guilty for not riding my bike or the horse since it is too cold, too muddy, too too...One doesn't have to make excuses for not leaving the house if there is a threat of snow.

So relish these guilt-free days while you can. If the groundhog is right, in another 5 weeks I'll be digging in the garden again.
