I'm so not happy to report sub-zero temperatures for the next week at least. It will feel colder that the thermometer says because we will have wind and there is very little snow on the ground. Weather Report: It is cold. Expect temperatures in the single digits, dropping to minus double digits with the wind chill. Dress warm. Make sure your winter kit is updated and in the car. It is cold. Keep you gas tank filled and check your oil. Remember synthetic oil is easier on your engine in these cold temperatures. It is damn cold. Carry extra blankets, boots, snacks and water in the car. Remember, it is cold. No change expected until May. It is cold.

Yes, it's seriously cold in Minnesota this week and the land is resting under it's protective blanket of snow.
But let's think Spring.
Going out to our Master Gardeners this week is the order list for Spring Plants - that's what I've been working on with our committee all week. Here's the opening to our email:

So the weather outside is frightful,
But this offer is so delightful,
Since we've no place to go,
Let us sow, let us sow, let us sow!

Then we attach the order form and a link to all the lovely pictures of blooming flowers, waving grasses and yummy veggies.
We deliver in mid-May (hopefully we're thawed out by then!)
