Then And Now


Just a reminder...
that what has been will be again!

I promise!


Poor ole Minerva...

It's about that time when Minerva heads to warmer climes for a bit of R&R.
She's done her job...and a darned good one at that!

When the green begins to once again appear,
Miss Minerva May Honeycut will return to the garden in her summer finery.

It's encouraging to know that this....


will once again be this...


And the fairy garden area...


will arise from its winter slumber and come to life again!


Knowing that this plot of barren boxes...



will once again nourish us!



And though it sometimes feels like the winter months drag on incessantly,


they are a necessary time of rest that gives us the opportunity to dream and scheme.

I spent some time yesterday (as the snow was falling) planning for Spring's projects.
I am ordering more honeybees.
I ordered 42 chicks for April delivery.
And I have perused the seed catalogs...
I'll be placing my orders this week.


"To every thing there is a season...
 and a time for every purpose...."
Truer words were never written!

- Looking Ahead
Yesterday we woke up to the first hard frost (yes, we've had snow, but not a frost like this). All of the critters' water buckets were frozen. I guess it is time to plug in all the heated buckets. The leaves have finally turned, so the countryside...
