So, go on.  Go grab one of those sofa throws, find a comfy chair, and gaze.  It might actually yield pretty nice results.

When the sun hasn’t shown it’s lovely face for days and it feels like the cold has soaked all the way to your spine, there is nothing like that bright dot of red that is so alive.

I wish a cardinal for you today.  Or perhaps an equivalent.  I really do.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Cardinal.  Come again.

Puts me in a mind to start planning a spring garden.  Not because I’m not enjoying this season, but because when spring rolls in it will be too late.  Nothing more hopeful and giddy than planning a garden whilst wearing slippers and sipping hot cocoa.

What are your outdoor/spring garden plans?  I would love to hear what you all’s plans are and what types of vegetables, berries, and flowers you adore come warmer weather.
