Winter Blahs

Leave it to us to choose to move into a camper in the country during the worst month of weather in a decade! I don't recall a winter in Arkansas with this much snow and freezing temps since I was little. Yes, we're staying warm. Yes, we're still certain of our decision to move here. But we are SICK of the winter!

The land is beautiful in the snow and we are happily planning our garden. But cabin fever--or shall we say, camper fever--is a problem. We're expecting a pretty hefty snow late tonight and most of tomorrow. Joy. We knew there would be times when this wasn't easy.

Meanwhile, Greg's show is supposed to open tonight. He's had a good time and he looks lovely with his new short haircut. I just secured a gig with the local wind symphony doing a historic portrait performance of a famous Little Rock woman for their summer fundraiser. Should be lots of fun.

I'm also working on an exciting new book about a forgotten bit of Civil Rights era history. I have high hopes that it will be published. We'll see. More shows coming up, and all that money is going to the yurt fund. Our goal for delivery of the yurt is 11/11/2011--isn't that perfect?! It's the ultimate wishing event!

We gave our heirloom seeds to a local master gardener that has her own nursery. She starts them for us for only $8 a flat! Try though I might, I can't seem to grow seeds inside. Plus, she invited Maddie and I to go over there every other Friday to work and learn. Maddie is going to take her herb seeds and learn about herb gardening. Wanna see where I buy my seeds? I just love it when these catalogs arrive in the mail! It's the perfect cure for the winter blues!
