Fall, er, I mean, Winter Days

The weather here in Reno is ridiculous!  It is so warm for the middle of winter and we haven't seen any snow.  Not even the mountains!  It feels like fall, and while I should be outside actually working, I instead stay inside and stare at my seed catalog over and over again.

'Tis the season.

Well, 'tis the month, anyway.  (I've been sick -- cut me some slack!)

My catalog is very well worn.  It's the first one I've ever received, so it's fascinating.

PURPLE potatoes.  Seriously, so cool.

A CRAZY variety of tomatoes.  It makes me happy.

Look at how colorful and pretty those fruits and veggies are!


I saw this doodle on one of my favorite garden websites: www.awaytogarden.com.  It is very fitting.  (The source is linked below the picture.)

What are your plans for this new year?

Goodbye 2011. HELLO there 2012!

Sorry my look-back thing didn't pan out.  I wasn't expecting to consume the amount of Nyquil that I have in the past couple days.

Consequently (and sadly enough), Jack and I will not be partying it up with the Mitchell clan tonight for New Years.  Maybe I can convince him to go see the fireworks, though.... him, me, and my trusty roll of toilet paper  "kleenex".  I'm so classy.

While 2011 has been fabulous, it will be nice to have a fresh start again.

So, here's to 2012!
