These three little pals relax with us by the fire as we peruse seed catalogs, gaze out at the winter garden, and design the spring garden plan in our minds. Like us, they seem to fall under the spell of the small birds playing just beyond the window on these very crisp, sunny winter days. The blue sky teases us into thinking we can go into the garden and dig. But in truth, the ground is frozen!
There are crocus up, standing about an inch tall, just thinking about sending up their fragile flowers. And daffodils, bunched here and there, the green tops sending out a message of hope.
Meanwhile, we clean house, again and again, striving to rid each room of the dri-wall dust, sawdust, and general construction grubbiness of the past months. Sweet memories fill our minds; memories of our first Christmas in our new & improved Little Bird Farm House!
