The Shack

Well I spent 8 hours engrossed in the most awesome book I've ever read. Click on the title for a preview. I couldn't put it down. It will change your life, I can guarantee. And I don't dare give any of it away. You just have to go there, to the shack.

It is very cold here. With the wind it is below 20 degrees. BUT..... sunny! I can live with the cold if it is sunny. I have a week to myself, and my goal is to get busy with a couple of things I would like to do to start a home business. Wish me well, and pray if you like. I wouldn't mind, at all! I'll keep you posted. Enjoy the rays. I'm sure they will be short lived, but at least we can get a little Vitamin D back in to our blood. C U you soon.

Our most recent sunshine!!

I have sent many of you this link, but for those who haven't seen this, it is amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvxWVHzEZ1w. You may have to past this in your browser and if that doesn't work, just go to the youtube website and look for the "Everything" link.

The sun is out....yippee. We in the northwest consider it a truly great blessing to see the sun this time of year. Spring fever sets in and I'm ready to start the garden. But not yet. Timing is everything. But I am getting it ready now. I'll be building cold frames this week to get some things started. My seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom seeds will arrive this week.

Bennie has started a new book......yes he has actually been reading!! It's called simply "The Shack". He couldn't put it down so you know it has to be good. I can't wait until he gets home so I can start it.

Here's hoping God is watching over you and sending His "Sonshine" in more than one way, your way!!

Time to plan ahead

While watching the Seahawks get whooped by the Packers, I felt a little excitement because of the days getting longer, and the promise of Spring around the corner. Although the weather this winter has been crazy, it will change soon. The tornado in Vancouver was pretty close, but did little damage compared to mid-west tornado's. But a bit unusual for us here in the Northwest.

East of us the snow is still piling up. Just very rainy here, as usual. Cabin fever usually sets in about this time of year. So I start looking at seed catalogues and thinking of springtime. It's actually coming around more quickly than I expected. I suppose that's typical of us getting older, you know. Time going by faster.....

Baker Creek Heirloom Co. is a new source I'm trying for seeds this year. Non-hybrid seeds are available through them. Their website is www.rareseeds.com if you're interested. I will keep you posted on any other new finds. I'l be traveling with Bennie east this month while he works there. Crocheting and dog walking will take up some of my time, while I hope to visit Aunt Cherri. Our last visit that way didn't work out, so we'll try it again. Hopes this finds you all keeping busy, and filled with joy because of who you are.....to Him. A precious child!!
