I presprouted and planted outside a week ago - and then it dropped to 15 degrees and snowed 4 inches. I think they might be ok though.

And yes, I totally understand the complex...now I just try to own it as a badge of pride, like, "Yup, I grow allllll of this in my backyard, that's right" kind of thing. <br /><br />Are those some ranunculus I see pre-sprouting in there? If so, you're much braver than I was my first year :)Torriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914130332528653162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-86559528758745492752022-03-08T15:30:34.471-05:002022-03-08T15:30:34.471-05:00Thanks!

I think that container must also have doorknobs based on Nicole's comment above. <br /><br />I've also had a hard time reading about anything bad happening to kids, but since my kids are younger I tend to focus on those ages. I'm sure when they are older I may feel the same way about people in their 20s as well.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088145312661308233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-48945748446596109452022-03-08T15:26:54.665-05:002022-03-08T15:26:54.665-05:00You're right about snow - although it's no...You're right about snow - although it's not as cold here as in Canada, we rarely get snow in the winter. Maybe 3-4 times, and it's gone in a few days. We also don't have any winter sports close by, so that also takes the fun out of it. <br /><br />Ooh, gutters! Not very fun but definitely important. A badly installed gutter is what caused our basement to flood a few years ago. As a homeowner you end up spending so much money on that kind of stuff. Roofing, plumbing, heating, etc. Not glamorous spending by any means.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088145312661308233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-62470074267141921572022-03-08T15:23:35.317-05:002022-03-08T15:23:35.317-05:00Oh no, not doorknobs too!

I guess that is all about moving things around the globe and that has been effected by so many things in the past year or so. There must be a container somewhere in the world with all the missing doorstops in it, lets hope it turns up soon.<br /><br />I came across the story of Chris McCandless when I read a book about Alaska, I am not sure that I would want to read this book, I have not been able to read books about harrowing subjects since becoming a mother. I am glad that you enjoyed it.sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-29366695362159334472022-03-06T13:12:52.614-05:002022-03-06T13:12:52.614-05:00It's it hilarious what things you discover as ...It's it hilarious what things you discover as a parent/home owner etc. I have learned SO much about gutter this year (more than I wanted to know). There is a lot to think through in getting water off one's house and away from the foundation!<br /><br />I bought my husband Into the Wild for Christmas. He really enjoyed it, and I'm planning to read this book next week when my kids are off on spring break. <br /><br />Brown. Oh I hate the brown. I'm not a fan of snow, but it makes everything seem so bright and clean. I wish we could go right from snow to green, lush fields. But that's not the way it works, so I'll find someway to spot joy in the brown. But I'm not a fan! It's snowing here today, so things are back to looking very white and cheerful, albeit cold!Elisabethhttp://elisabeth-frost.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-68376251717281349132022-03-06T10:10:43.656-05:002022-03-06T10:10:43.656-05:00I am going to put Beautiful Country on my list!

I love books like that, that give me a whole new perspective of the world.<br /><br />I am SO excited for you about your flower micro-farm, and I am going to be following this with much excitement and happiness. I hope you post a lot of photos! I love flowers and we have such a short growing season here; I live vicariously through my friends in warmer climates.<br /><br />We are currently building a house in another province; it will be our retirement home. I can tell you that *I* knew about doorstop shortages, as well as how difficult it is to source doorknobs. The weirdest things have been hard to get, I HEAR YOU.<br />Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212465957211363245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-64018937257255862382022-03-06T10:03:54.797-05:002022-03-06T10:03:54.797-05:00I confess that I didn't know about micro flowe...I confess that I didn't know about micro flower farms, but I'm excited to see it take shape!
