So here it is a new year. I wonder what it will bring. It's hard to believe that the days are already getting longer. I know that it's cold out there but if a person doesn't have to go out, well there are lots of fun things to do indoors. And it's perfectly alright to add a nap onto the list. Dave says that my two to three hours don't describe a nap but I have a different opinion. I say any time spent relaxing after the busy holiday season is good for a person.
Many people have the flu; either the stomach ache thing or a very bad cough, respiratory infection. I started with the achy muscles which then became a full-fledged coughing, sneezing thing. Now as long as an earache doesn't develop, I'm laughing. Many adults outgrow the ear infection thing but I still get it at least once a year and I'll quickly add a disclaimer - there are no smokers in this house and no woodstove. According to some information, these two were to blame for all the ear infections that kids used to have. What they'll come up with now, we can only guess.
Spring is just around the corner for greenhouses and home gardeners and the seed catalogues are coming fast and furious. I love it. Dave and I are experimenting with heritage seeds to find out if there really is a difference in the taste of the produce. Heritage Harvest Seed is located out of Carman the phone number is 204-745-6489 and on the web at www.heritageharvestseed.com. They advertise as no GMO's - no hybrids and untreated natural seeds. This means a person can reuse the seed from year to year and always have the same produce. The seeds stays true and you never have to purchase seed again if you harvest them in fall.
