Though it certainly looks like winter still, spring is coming. I can feel it. The cold doesn't feel as bitter. I can hear it too. There are more birds out than before. I hear the spring call of the chickadees, "Hey, Sweetie." I've heard cardinals too. On top of all that, the greenhouse is going to be fired up in less than a week! 

It's hard to believe that it's time already for work in the greenhouse to begin. I've been staring at seed catalogs for months now and dreaming of what I'll grow this year. Did you know that seeds have a smell? They do. It's similar to potting soil. Each time I get a seed order I love opening the package and breathing in the scent.  I think of a warm greenhouse on cool spring days, the feel of the potting soil in my fingers and all the possibilities the new season brings. What a wonderful job I have!
