Positively Annoying

“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.” ~Herm Albright

Fair warning I am going to be positive and annoying.  I finally figured it out.  I have been blah because I was concentrating on the negatives.  So I am going to concentrate on the positives.

Instead of seeing long spikes of frozen water,
I am going to concentrate on the drop melting at the end.  With each drip the snow is diminishing and Spring is getting closer.

We got an additional 17 inches of snow (on top of the 8) and bands will continue to drop a couple of more inches today and tonight.  I have shoveled so much I fell into a wonderful nights sleep.  I realized that Mother Nature was getting my body ready for gardening season, strengthening all the muscles which relaxed over the winter.  The snow shovel will soon be replaced by a rototiller and hoe, and I must put back the callouses which have been smoothed away.

With deep snow the sheep are getting their fleece washed off so that I don't have as much work after they are sheared.

Soon these will not be languishing in my yard full of distant memories but once again become viable  products.
The gray shetland is near completion.  I thinking of making a shawl on the triloom.  I am going back and forth if I should dye some and weave it or leave it gray and knit a lace edge.  Actually I have enough to do both so only time limits will tell. 

Today I finish off an inside job of painting a room.  Tomorrow the man and I buy what I need to start my seeds.  By Sunday the seeds will be planted...in a week green will be popping up all over.  And they need to be because......
