Seed Catalogs

The seed catalogs are on the way already. I have gotten 3 in the mail already... but I haven't had a chance to sit down and go through them yet... Im waiting just a bit longer because I should get a few more yet and want to look at them all at once, no playing favorites here, lol  I haven't gotten a Thompson and Morgan yet and that is really my favorite catalog. The pictures are prettier and its more like a book than a magazine... The picture above is really much prettier than it shows... the tomatoes are much reder on the cover of the catalog.
   Yesterday I went to a yarn shoppe with my daughter Shari and her daughter Mindy... Why is it when I go to a shoppe like that I can never go away empty handed.... they only bought one and I bought 3 yarn some needles and some other gagets...Now I will have to start knitting again. As soon as I remember how I will make a pair of mittens and then Mindy wants me to make her a pair too. I have to make a practice pair first so I do a good job on hers... She wants to learn how to knit but I think making a scarf is an easier way to go, don't you? For a first project anyway.  I looked over my books and found a couple about learning how to knit in them...They are old and yellowed but I don't think that ever changes... So I had to go into my big box and get some books for her and a bunch of needles... I hope she likes it. At least she should be able to get started.
  Yesterday we went to a few stores, one for the pets. I got some pet food and a toy for Charlie and a new bowl for Peaches and twinkie...  I just put it out so I hope they like it... I will take a picture later... Its 2 bowl in one sort of kinda thing...lol
   Now I must get back to doing the laundry.... Its a dreary sort of day but is getting warmer... the chill seems to go right through me though on a day like this... I will have to put my little fleece jacket on in the house today I think... Tomorrow its supposed to get into the 40's but rain and freezing rain later.... would rather it just stayed cold if that is what is going to happen.... not up to me though is it.... :) Have a nice day, Sandra

I must admit I have received some catalogs as well but I haven't even looked at them.  I just can't seem to get in the mood to plan for Spring. Oh well, I still have time to get ready.

Stay warm, chicky! I have laundry to do too, but my back is already protesting about those steps down to the basement. I gave my babies baths yesterday, and scrubbed the floor. Yikes! But they look great, as does the floor, and that always makes me feel better.

I've sent for 3 or 4 seed catalogs and am looking forward to getting them.  Have to go to Walmart and KMart today, hope the roads are good.
