Also, it's the time of year you really have to be on your guard.
Because you never know when THIS can happen...
But it's also study time!
Allllll of the seed catalogues- my dirty magazines I call them which just makes Hubby wince, which I follow up with "because they are filled with dirt and things" which makes him wince more- are coming in the mail.
It's the second best time of year.
The first best time would be when you can actually go outside in shorts and a tank top without dying from hypothermic shock.
So I threw the catalogues on the floor in grand fashion and prepared for hours of study.
Hours.
Because I got 14 in the mail in the last two weeks.
And some of them are over 200 pages long.
There is nothing that reminds me more of spring than the photos in gardening magazines.
It's what keeps me alive through winter.
That and Peco.
And I guess my husband, who sends me away to Florida a few times throughout the winter.
(I think it's because he gets tired of hearing me lament about my impending death due to exposure to snow and really just about anything under 55 degrees)
But this was going to take a while. So obviously I needed an energy boost.
Like an great student, I went to the source.
Sugar.
One of the nicest Aunts in the world gave me a BAG of organic, natural, fabulicious chocolate bars for Christmas. And I happened to have the marshmallows and Graham crackers lying around.
What's a girl to do?
So I cranked up the fire....
(old school. I threw logs on it)
Pulled out my roaster stick that I keep within arm's reach...
Put the Cracker and chocolate on the hearth...
(This is the optimal operation standard for the perfect s'more)
And ta-da!
I don't think I mentioned that this s'more had a hint of spice from the Chocolate with Chilies.
I think I'll be growing Chilies this year.
How are you surviving the winter?
