The garden needs some planning.

Now is the time of year when I should be pouring over seed catalogs (that I don't have)

planning out what to plant where and how much.

Heres the deal, we have a plan...I think.

We want a huge garden that we can pick the surplus and take that to the local Farmers Markets and "share" for a little bit of barrdering or $. (of course)

So here I am, sitting in my jammies tring to figure out what I want and how much before next Saturday.

That's the very last day I can wait to start my seeds or my garden will go in late and our plans will be put on hold.
No way! I'm not taking the heat for this one.
I'm excited about this, nervous, a little stressed but mostly excited.

I think I know what I want to plant.
I have plenty of books about it,
plenty of visions.

This 10 inches of snow is distracting me, and the 3 cat's that are getting cabin fever and starting to eat my house plants and making me apprehensive.

So with all being said, my biggest plan for today is to go through my ideas one by one and start drawling and writting down my garden plan.

Today is a "clean" day!

Today I have decided to finally start my blog.

Congratulations you are reading the very first one!

Today is a "clean" day!

With that being stated I have also decided to clean out my house of anything that I have not used in the last 6 months.

I moved in here 6 months ago and slowly started storing stuff here and there, until I now feel as though I am sufficating on the clutter of my house.

I must clean! and not just wipe the dirt off the floor, I must clean out the refrigerator and figure out what to do with 5lbs of already roasted and peeled garlic. The smell is starting to seep out of the fridge and into the surrounding rooms ugh!

I am also tired of looking at the same old coffee pot that really doesn't work, the knives the really really need sharpened, and the spices that are collecting dust because I don't know what to use other than Cinnamon.

I have just spent the last 5 days with my kids off of school and us either building messes, or building chicken brooders and rabbit hutches...

It's time to "shine my sink" as Fly Lady would say.

No more dragging my feet!
I'm gathering boxes and putting everything that doesn't have a home in it and never looking back.
I want a clean house! There I said it...now if I can only find my magic pixie and get her to bring her vacuum~mines clogged.
