chilly paws dreaming for spring

oncidium

last night i got a phone call from my sister sharing some exciting news. she's having a girl. mitch and i get another niece. naturally with my current crochet projects i can't help but dream of making something special for her baby girl.

our single digit temperatures keep continuing.... the news has warnings about excessive time spent outside will lead to frost bite! i feel bad for the boys. their energy levels keep building and it's been below freezing at any given point through the day and they are unable to run their energy out. not only that but i'm nervous about the snow on their paws. cezar seems to be most affected by it the last day or so. nanna has been having an incredibly hard start to the year and is looking forward to february.... i'm praying february brings slightly warmer temperatures.

my excitement for spring is building. especially since i've been going through our order acknowledgements. i'm looking forward to all the new plant arrivals at our store. not to mention i'm beyond giddy for the building of a succulent and cactus selection. they tend to be one of my plant loves. plus i'm eager to grow my edibles garden. anyone up for growing blueberries?? how about raspberries?? i'd love to help spread the 'green fever'.

the clock is calling me to work.... my chickies are most likely waiting for their hot water for their 'morning tea' and the cold store is waiting for my presence. and another day compiling the spring book for the register.

The cold is seriously killing me right now. With my split cuticles I cannot go outside without gloves because it is sooo painful!

That's exciting about Abby! Projects? What other crochet project are you working on besides your chevron blanket?

I'm sorry nanna is having a hard time.

Austin asked me last week if some day we can have a garden. I thought it was cute. Of course I think he is most interested in growing tomatoes, but maybe some day you can help us with a garden. :)
