Slightly bored, not much to say.

So I am rather bored and thinking about summer. Cannot wait to start the garden! I am already looking at seed catalogs and trying to decide what I want to grow and how I will do it. I really want to try pumpkins again, I had many starts that just didn't get big enough. I really want to try honeydew as well.

There were some deer in my garden the other day. I had a pumpkin by the house that I didn't carve and was using as a decoration and it finally started to rot so I had Luke throw it into the garden area that way in spring it can be rototilled in. The deer decided to try and eat it, even though I'm sure it was frozen solid. It allowed my dad to get some nice pictures using the camera because they were so close.

Yesterday I saw some really cool decorations that I hope Luke gets for me. There was a sun hanger and a moon hanger that had globes in them that I would love to hang on a Shepard's hook near a tree. There was a metal sun that was pretty cool as well, but I'd really love a lightweight metal moon that I could put opposite from the sun that is already out there. I think I am going to spray paint it right away in spring with some outdoor paint to make it pretty again. The sun has faded it pretty good. That will be very fun for me though, and I'm really looking forward to starting that project.

Oh well...I just have to keep dreaming of summer because we are going to get like 15 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow. Summer dreaming will just have to do for now.
