I can feel it coming on, the fever, to get outside and play in the dirt/garden! Mother Nature is tossing hints around of a early spring and I'm finding myself feeling left out, we've only had one snow and it was maybe a inch? As the days get longer, the itch to plant gets worse so I'm making up a wish list of projects for 2013, just a way to keep my hands busy! Here goes!
Build a chicken coop from as much recycled materials as possible.
Grow my own moss from a Pinterest recipe.
Plant more flowers for bees and butterflies.
Make a fish pond from a livestock trough.
Grow potatoes in a barrel.
Rig up watering system for rain barrels.
That's a start and most of these projects can be had by using recycled, found or free materials, perfect for our budget since my husband is out of work, time to get even more thrifty! Thankful for Pinterest and the inspiration it gives me, don't know what I did before it!
I'm itchin' to dig in the dirt too, Sue! Sorry to hear your husband is out of work :( We've been there, done that also. That's where those survival skills come in! Love your project list - Spring's a comin' early.. I can tell by these March winds in Feb! :) -Tammy
ReplyDeleteYes, Spring definitely feels like it's around the corner. I hope we get lots of rain with this Spring, we could sure use any moisture we can get. We use a lot of recycled materials around our home too. It's so nice to use them, instead of paying full price for something else. Sorry to here about your husbands job, Praying that God will find him a new one! I love your list and I would love to hear about planting potatoes in a barrel. What a neat idea. We are going to try planting our strawberries in a used rain gutter this year. Up and off the ground!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Amy
Hello Sue, Loved the pink brownies :) It's a girl thang!
ReplyDeleteSue, I am gonna start praying for a job for your hubby.
It is frigid out tonight but no snow. Waiting for spring myself, but I hope its not a dry one.
May you have a very SWEET Valentines Day.
Blessings, Roxy
Uh oh...I fear a bad case of Spring fever has already set in.....it won't be long and all those dreams will come true. :)
ReplyDeleteWe tilled our garden spot the other day, and we're itching too! I saw Hyacinths and Daffodils that are pretty tall for February, I always get excited when I see signs of Spring! I'm a big fan of pinterest too, so many great ideas! Sounds like you have some great projects planned.
ReplyDeleteI am itching to dig in the dirt too. I love being outside in the yard...so much more satisfying than housework. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteVickie that's the prettiest color red soup I've ever seen. We love love love tomato soup but I've never made it from scratch. I just copied your recipe and may have to give this a go.... How hot does the tobasco make it? I don't know about that. ??? Can you taste it?
