Apricot jam, fresh ginger tea and brie are what's in at our house along with whole Francophile thing mentioned a few days ago.

We met a nice couple at a party last week and after telling them about Ducky, PeeWee and Fuzztop, they decided to look into their own backyard flock. They will be visiting the girls today. They told me they have been doing research all week.

I was never into Valentine's Day until I started making cards a few years ago. This year I'll be using the ole card catalog cards and hope to incorporate crochet as well. We'll see. I tend to think big and come up with stupendous ideas for projects while in my fabric box (thanks, Renee). Real life is a whole other story.

I can't help but get excited about Spring. This year I'll be using All New Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew. I heard even five year olds were successful using his special 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 soil mix. After my sadsorry garden of broken dreams I realize I need help. Last year's garden consisted of : two tomato plants that always looked half dead and a lot of dirt where seeds never sprouted or if they did they soon gave up. I won't be ordering seeds and I'm staying away from heirloom anything.

Already we have baby Starlings and baby squirrels scampering about. Spring can't be far off.

*Oh, here's the U!

It's so weird you mention square foot gardening, because I went to lunch with an old friend today and he told me about it. I had never heard of it. Word virus!

I could help you with some gardening stuff this year too if you want. The soil is the thing. You have to buy soil sometimes or amendments for it anyway, but it's worth it for the results. It's also good to compost, and chicken sh*t is some of the best fertilizer! I need to come visit them again:) Good luck:)
