A few days ago, Sunny and I went for a short hike up the hill into the woods. On the way back, since it was such a clear day, we spied something I sometimes overlook. We only have to go up the hill a little ways, and we can see the BIG mountain...   Here it is a little closer...   It's looking pretty good with a nice layer of snow on it. I have started to get my seed catalogs in the mail, and my favorite one showed up a couple of days ago: I have no idea how I'm going to narrow my order down to something reasonable. EVERYTHING looks good at the moment! Even vegetables I may not care that much for are taking on a certain glow. :-) I only have two things edible in the garden right now. Carrots and kale. I went out there yesterday and picked all the edible leaves from my little kale forest and dug a few carrots to put in my salads. The kale I gently stir fried and steamed with olive oil and garlic, then finished it with a little half and half. I don't think I could ever fully convey how delicious and satisfying this bowl of stuff was. The cold weather has sweetened it to the point of ambrosia-like awesomeness. Tender and savory. I need to plant more this spring. Only thing is, how do I chose from all these varieties?     I have no idea...
