Rush Out and Buy Your Potting Soil

I have some sick kind of belief that if it's technically spring, it should start acting like spring outside!  However, here we sit at home - the yard's drifted, the gravel road is drifted, so there's really no point in venturing out.  Besides, we're fully stocked with 3 gallons of milk for Gabrielle, so we're set!    Max and Pebbles are happy to hang out in the mudroom until the 'wet-dog' stink takes over; they look at me with that "you can't be serious" face when I open the door to let (or realistically, push) them out.  I look at the holiday trailer with its snow drifts up past the door and I can't help but be irritated.  I'll admit - there have been quite a few choice words for Mother Nature the last couple days.  Last week we sat on the south deck in our t-shirts ... and now I'm shoveling it off.  The only good thing about being snowed in is that we won't have any company ... and I won't need to shovel a path to the front door!  I sit inside with my Peavey Mart Flyer and look at the gardening section.  They live in Alberta too .... they can't be seriously advertising potting soil.  I think I should rush right out and pick some up before they're out of stock. 

Getting caught up on my Raising Miss Daisy orders is the only good thing about this weather ... but it might be too much of a good thing.  Until this morning, I didn't think that 'crafting' could give you blisters or calluses.  I stand corrected.  When the weather decides to smarten up and lets me leave my island of snow, Canada Post is going to make a killing on what I'm mailing out this week! 

My next projects?  Creating 16 newborn props for Bonnie - that in itself should be enough!  I can't wait to see them in action, especially the hammock :)

But back to my snow issues - I have a question for you - what's the best thing about being snowed in?
