So I've mailed off my seed orders. Is it Spring yet? (Don't be ridiculous.) Why not? It's fun! I have a marvelous thing in my kitchen, even if it IS January. Remember this? Sweet potato. That was taken on was December 11. This was taken a few minutes ago... Oh yeah! Did you know that sweet potatoes are in the morning glory family? Well, now you do! I have NO idea what I'm going to do with it as time goes on. I imagine it will start to drape over the edges under its own weight at some point. But it sure is a cheerful sight here in the bleak. I painted a little bird yesterday that I saw on Pinterest. I'm very happy with the result. . . (What is is with you and birds?) I don't know! I just ordered myself a little present. You know why? Because my - 'year of not buying any more pens because I have a freak load of them already' is OVER! An obsessive/compulsive writer's dream. I can hardly wait to try them.
