I’m getting excited about spring coming in another month or so. If we ever stop getting these horrible snow storms I’ll be one happy camper. We are in the middle of one heck of a storm right now, they are saying anywhere from 2 to 4 feet can be expected, with yet another storm coming next week, ugh…………I’ve so had my fill of snow this winter!

I have been anxiously waiting for this spring. I found the most wonderful window flower boxes that I picked up real cheap and can’t wait for the stores to start putting out the seed packets for planting. I want to have a real brilliant display of flowers around the place. I’ve always enjoyed the look of window plant boxes on people’s homes, the house that I grew up in had window boxes that my mother was so proud of planting each spring and summer. There is just something about a window box full of color that really brightens up the place and I’m ready for my place to have that certain touch added to it.

I always have a nice vegetable garden and a few flowers, plants, bushes and trees that pop out their beautiful blossoms for me to enjoy each year. I can’t wait to get my hands in the dirt once again, it seems like forever since we have had a nice warm and dry day. I really don’t like the month of February one bit other than the fact that it means that spring is right around the corner. But this year the groundhog indicates that we won’t be seeing anything for at least another 6 weeks, arg…………

OK, spring is right around the corner and I’m more than ready to start getting ready for the outdoor activities that I’ve been neglecting due to the nasty weather that this winter has brought us. I’m looking online at getting some new Sneakers or possibly a pair of quality Running Shoes and start running and exercising. I’m not getting any younger and I really need to step up to the plate and start taking my health a bit more seriously. The big “Five O” is fast approaching and it’s up to me to keep myself in the best shape possible.

I have a bike that I have been meaning to take down and out of the garage, but haven’t managed yet in the last 2 years, sigh……I even had a brand new pair of Bike Shoes  and Running Shoes that were bought and given to me as a Christmas present a few years back and they are still in the box in my closet. I love Shoes and have a closet full at my disposal and I’m always on the look out for new ones to adorn my feet with! I’ve always loved shoes, used to drive me mother crazy. When I was married I used to get all kinds of crap from my husband about my love affair with shoes.

Anyway online shoe shopping is a great way to find some wonderful variety of shoes. If they don’t fit or look right I just return them and move on.  Shopwiki.com is a great site to use in order to find all types of products, I use them quite a lot. Online shopping is the only way to go for me these days and is becoming more popular each and every day all around the world, amazing isn’t it?

I know it sounds kind of crazy thinking about gardens and planters while in the middle of during our first snow storm of the year, but a girl can dream can’t she. I really hate the winter time and spend a good amount of it thinking and dreaming of spring and summer time fun. And with the Internet at hand I can look around and see first hand some of things that I would like to get into, when I want to get into it. Right now anything without snow sounds and looks good to me.

Next spring I would love to have accumulated a few nice Outdoor Planters lined up and ready to plant in. I don’t have the best of luck with Indoor Planters, although it seems that each year I do try to no avail, sigh… I have been seeing some of the nicest Decorative Planters at Planterixchange.com, I like their products and their prices. Even some of their High End Planters are affordable and I’d love to be able to have a few around the place next year. Oh the things I could do with a nice Planter or two! I love getting outside in the sun and getting my hands in the dirt and watching things grow all season long. It’s a “feel good” type of thing for me and something that I look forward to each and every year.

Well my week end plans are shot all to hell. The weather man warned us that we were in for some snow, but since when have I ever listened to him? It has been snowing since the early morning hours and it is still coming down hard and it is past dinner time. We must have at least 6 inches by now. I went out and brushed off the car and the truck earlier, but now it is in need of another, oh well – there is always tomorrow. Nothing much else to do in this type of weather, sigh………………..

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. Remember that song by Karen Carpenter? It still holds true to this day and this is a rainy Monday, sigh…………..
