I'm busy..observing..


                                               February chores...
                         
                            Open the windows..
                Browsing and ordering from seed and garden catalogs.
                     Pruning leafless trees and shrubs.
                 Weeding and tending the winter vegetable garden.
                     Relax and read books from the library.
                     The soil is usually too wet and cold for much digging.
         Keeping cold sensitive potted plants in protected areas or indoors.
            Make sure that the cuttings in protected areas do not dry out.
                     Repair fences.
         Put straw mulch over fertilized vegetable garden areas not planted. 
                      Distribute fertilizer and minerals. 
                      rune and mulch dormant perennials.
                      Remove dead trees, shrubs, branches, and twigs.
                   Enjoy the bulbs and rosemary in bloom.
                    Repair and sharpen tools.
                      Construct gardening boxes and flats.
                       Keep hardwood cuttings moist.
                Write a poem.   Keep a gardening journal.
                       Trees without leaves need little or no watering.
                 Take a walk in your garden.
                       Sit and observe.   (that's a good one..)

Good morning precious friend...

I am late because yesterday, I spent many hours digging myself out of 4 feet of snow, then off to work I had to go....

But today, it is all about ZEN! Observe my dearest, the world is waiting for YOU!

Dear Dutchess,
I am so much with you for visit..... I feel always overjoyed! Dearly to thanks for your Blog full of miracle. I felt as a small girl always just, thus enchanted if I look at the old pictures with her healthy world, the special music hears.... and simply if I may be staying in your "empire".
Hearty thanks for the fact that there are you and you your world with us shares,
Mara-Kathina
